Negative Positive
Title: Solid and unremarkable
Review: This is the sequel to Counterparts, with an even heavier sound. There aren't many memorable melodies and after a while the crushing guitar riffs get a little monotonous. There's still good stuff on here -- The frantic "Dog Years" may be the first (intentionally) funny Rush lyric, while other highlights are "Driven", "Carve Away the Stone", and "Resist". This is not one of the band's better albums, though fans of Counterparts may enjoy it.
