Title: A pleasant surprise
Review: As a 30-yr Rush fan, I buy everything that these guys put out. Even their worst efforts (Vapor Trails? Hold Your Fire?) are better than 99% of the junk that passes for rock n roll/metal these days. After hearing "A FAR CRY" on the radio, I wasn't too excited about this album, although with the dearth of quality stuff out there today, I was more than willing to buy it rather than download it. I'm glad I did. One of the things that I mark as a great album is if it gets better by the listen, and this does. I read somewhere that one of the pink floyd guys, gilmour, I think, gave Alex some advice to "go acoustic." It was a great suggestion.I would put the musicianship of Rush up against anyone. With 30 years of consistently putting out quality, they really take 2nd to no one.
Is the review positive or negative?
