My god!  Now some may accuse me of being a Rush fanboy, which I can't deny, Embarrassed, but I put down S&A for a few days and went back to it today.  This is really a great set of songs. This has potential to become my favorite Rush CD. I know, that's pretty extreme. S&A over Hemispheres? MP? PeW? Yup, it's really hitting a home run with me.

                              Everything OK, StyLaZyn, a bit overheated .... Wink ?
 
To be honest, I can imagine that progheads like the new Rush album but the best Rush ever made Confused .. if I compare Snakes & Arrows with A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres and Moving Pictures, it's Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal comparing with Everton, Bolton or Tottenham LOL !
 
By the way, I just got this e-mailfrom the Rush fanclub:

Well, Erik, this may come as a shock to some here, but I actually have non-Prog music I really dig, even over Prog.  I know, I know...blasphemy.  LOL

However, I will be getting together with my friends on the 24th of May to get drunk and listen to nothing but Rush, as we do every year. Nostalgia, it's not as good as it used to be! Wink
 
That sounds absolutely brilliant!

It's a great opener, very dynamic and it has early Eighties undertones, it makes you feel OK that Rush is back on the track after their disappointing Vapor Trails album.

I got more and more excited about the new Rush album, this evening I even posted their opener Far Cry as a 'goose bump moment' Approve !
