Gildenlow's presence is just too heavy in the dvd to forget about it   I disagree with the sentiments about BE. The concept is the most developed of any of POS but that hardly means the music was neglected. In face it's much more dynamic than on any previous POS album, and of a higher quality than all of them except Rememdy Lane. Which is hardly dull, and what it lacks in its "one sided" concept, it more than makes up through the rainbow of emotions expressed.

All a matter of opinion. I like Entropia a lot, it's my third favorite PoS release. So schizophrenic and awesome. I do agree that the BE DVD is amazing, though. Like I said, it's all opinions. I happen to love Remedy Lane, and hate BE. Woo.

Well what's there to argue about?

SW is a seriously talented musician,singer,composer,producer,and lyricist.....and Akelfeld has a singing style designed to clear all wildlife off the nearest 40 acres.


Rush are the most talented bunch of musicians in the world,continue to release wonderfully progressive albums and those who dont agree will get Terminated.

And for a fee I am willing to accompany ladies "of a certain age"

Ok?

It hurts Tony, to think about that.

Second that regarding the DVDs.

The studio however...

Tony, where are you when you are needed?

Yea, but its pretty much poop.

IQ, on the other hand, is growing. One of my favorite Neo-Prog bands. New Rush isn't the best out there, but they're trying and that's really all that counts. And they are comfortable where they are at musically and I don't think they plan on returning to the 10 minute Sci-Fi vibe they went for in the late 70s ever again, but it would be nice. As if Micky was not enough, there's more people dissing Rush around here... Anyway, who says that 10-minute songs are better than 5-minute ones? DT are proof enough of the untruth of this statement... *rushes for flame shield*Then, I don't really think that the songs on "Vapor Trails" have much to do with pop. Perhaps Rush did some poppier tracks in the past, but their new direction seems rather different to me. Then again, perhaps it's just the fangirl in me speaking... I wasn't bashing them, Raffaella, I was just stating what I feel is the current situation with the band. While I don't think Vapor Trails is the greatest album ever, it had more than enough great moments to make me give it a steady rotation in my cd player. Still, wouldn't it be awesome for a sequel to Hemispheres or a wild instrumental like La Villa to pop up randomly on their next album?

On the other hand, I can't stand new Rush, because Geddy's voice is mellowier and I liked the heavier Geddy. Plus I don't think new Rush is even good pop.
