Negative Positive
Title: A rare mis-step for a great (one of my favorite) band
Review: It pains me to have to do this, but the passing years have solidified this album in my mind as one of the worst offerings Rush ever made. The few highlights of this album ("Driven," my favorite track, features some of Neil's most inspired and complex drumming ever; "Resist" and the title track are also strong) can not counter the lackluster songwriting and playing of the remainder of the album. The weaker songs are a combination of corny ("Half the World," "Dog Years," "Totem"), dated ("Virtuality"), or just plain boring ("The Color of Right").
Is the review positive or negative?
