New Rush thread

I saw them in Saratoga Springs and it was an awesome show. I'm really happy Geddy brought the Rick out for Bangkok.

I've listened to the new album very much and I think it's their best since counterparts. It has a strong connected vibe throughout the album that I haven't felt about them in their last 2 albums. Armour & Sword is probably the best song on the album, along with the Main Monkey Business.

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

+1. These were my two favorites from the first day I listened to Snakes & Arrows. The others will need more time to grow on me...

Malignant Narcissism, Far Cry, The Way the Wind Blows, and especially Workin' Them Angels are my personal favorites.

...I'll be interested in how I feel about this album after it has some time to settle in my head. But right now I can honestly say it has just got me floored....

Well it's been over 6 months since I posted my review, and to follow up on the above comment:

For me, the album has stood the test of time. I listened a lot for the first few weeks, and then drifted away from it. I probably would have burned out on it if I hadn't, so that's good.

Consequently I've had long periods (> 1 month) where I didn't hear any of the tunes, and for most of this time the album's tunes were simply among those I shuffle through on iTunes, so there were good odds I'd hear at most one tune every three or four days.

I had a craving for the album and started listening to it in the car recently. I'm impressed that I feel very much like I did back in May. The only difference is that "Good News First" is now my least favorite, and I still like that one; it's just relative.

I hope they keep it going!

Talk soon,
HooBass
