TEST FOR ECHO

A rather dull output from the canadian superstars -typical of a once great band, exhausted of good ideas. i know its hard to understand why Rush have chosen this particular MOR direction, you simply cannot compare this album to the greatness of say, hold your fire or power windows -but what has happened to Rush? for instance, where have the unique keyboards gone that set them apart from everone else during the eighties and nineties. Rush could still do very well, as tired as they are -but what is this grunge crap they keep putting out for us? I blame geddy myself. from here-on Rush get worse in my opinion. This is a middle of the tracks, below average, pop rock album, embarrassingly cheesy lyrics and nothing to write home about.
