New Rush thread

[fleabee]

For those who have heard "Snakes and arrows"...what do you think? Strong and weakpoints? I think "Spindrift" is a one mean tune. "Malignant narcissism" is just as good."Main monkey business is a great one. A lot of the songs are more mellow with a good part acoustic. Im not really digging "the larger bowl" though.

Haven't picked up a new Rush CD in a while, I think it's time.

I have it since last Monday but the song arrangement is incorrect. I LOVE it!!!!

There is one song that I like less than the other but I still love it. I'll get the title when I I buy the CD tomorrow.

Both instrumentals ROCK!!!!

Preordered the DVD. Supposed to arrive around the 15th.

5.1 Surround Mixes FTW.

I've just got back from town with it now, and I'm loving it! Quite heavy stuff! Rush, they just pull it off in spectacular fashion, every time!

Two Rush instrumentals?!?

Can you tell us a little about them?

I'm also curious what era of Rush the new cd resembles the most.

 

[fleabee]

There are 3 actually..one short acoustic piece and two hard rocking ones

 

[gjooro]

I'm going to download it right now haha

Im realy loving "The main monkey Buisness" i also love the way geddy plays bass now adays, its more straight forward than earlier, but it adds a kinda punch to the songs.. i dont think the bass line to "closer to the heart" would have suited alot of their new stuff.. Imo, it is very, very good music. but hey, its Rush, have they ever REALY failed at making music?

they keep going that 90's line (Test for Echo/Counterparts thing) maby slightly more aggressive.

 

[fleabee]

I would say its Test for Echo/Counterparts thing/Vapor trails/+ newer original spin on rush

 

[stedtale]

I'm on my way to get it this morning, I can't wait. It'll be hard for them to top Vapor Trails, IMO-and I've been a fan for 20+ years...

In retrospect after playing bass...I look at bands and see bands where the bass player just doesn't bring anything to the table. With Rush everyone brings plenty to the table. There are some bands where even having a bassist seems unneccessary. I wont name any bands because I am not starting a flaming match.

 

[fleabee]

Stedtale...get in the car and crank up Spindrift..I get the chills

 

[stedtale]

fleabee, I cannot wait, I know it's gonna kick.


I was underwhelmed by the pre-release of Far Cry, however.

 

[fleabee]

I found the album needs to grow on you..give it a fair chance

 

[stedtale]

Oh, I will. Believe me, I will.

 

[fleabee]

I think "Main monkey business" and "Malignant narcissism" will be automatically very likeable
