Title: A Bore
Review: The past 5 or 6 years have been a time of growth and experimentation for Rush after their hiatus in the late 90s. But it has also been a time of reflection, thought, and utmost simplicity in their music. I have been a Rush fan for about 5 years and I own nearly all of their studio recordings and all of their DVD releases. So I know Rush's sound pretty well now.Snakes & Arrowsis just a disapointment to me. For me, it sounds likeTest for EchoII--it has 1 to 3 tracks that are actually good and the rest are just filler material or very mellow acoustic tracks. The only song I like here is "Far Cry" and besides that SNAKES is just a sleepy, monotonous album--at least for Rush. Sadly, I do not think that Rush will ever be able to compose as well as they did before theCounterpartsalbum. Yet, I congratulate Rush for trying as hard as they could to produce the kind of top-notch music that they were playing during the 70s and 80s. I can't wait to see Rush on tour this summer, though!
