Our Review

Thirty-plus years into a career that has slowed considerably in the last decade, Rush still deliver epic rock grandeur without compromise. Judiciously amending their sound to the times, the power trio has evolved without sacrificing what made them so groundbreaking and powerful in the first place. Snakes and Arrows comes five years after their previous studio effort, 2002’s Vapor Trails, and like that release sticks with a guitar-heavy attack punctuated by the ambitious, polyrhythmic drumming of Neil Peart. As expected, Peart’s lyrics deal with his obsessions on government, spirituality, human will and nature that are often more fun and informative to read on a sheet than to sing aloud. Though clunky in execution — the multi-syllabic words sound even more clinical with Geddy Lee’s over-articulate delivery — they take on ominous weight in light of world events in the new millennium and, more importantly, in balance with the group’s exciting arrangements. There's heart-thumping drama throughout “Far Cry,” “Armor and Sword,” acoustic-electric weaving in “The Larger Bowl,” and the near sci-fi, action film downward spiral of “Spindrift.” It’s unusual for a group of such duration to still come within spitting distance of their finest work so many years on, but Rush continue to defy all expectations in their stubborn, steady way.

A Five Star Effort (5 stars)
Rush once again proves they are not afraid to explore new areas. As a matter of fact that is one of the strong points Rush fans will most likely appreciate about the new album. The album starts out with their first release single “Far Cry”. This is an outstanding track which makes great use of syncopation and rhythm in its introduction, which is capped off by a most intriguing almost impressionist type chord (reminiscent of their albu

Growth & Perspective (5 stars)
Easily RUSH's best work since 1980's "Moving Pictures". The production's emphasis is on the songwriting for the first time in a long while, a welcome respite from the Riffs 'R' Us approach of Vapor Trails, Test For Echo, etc., which seemed to let the songs take the backseat to naked aggression and loud, loud, loud. The sheer amount of dynamics on this new record is staggering -- THANK YOU, Mr. Raskulinecz, it's about time somebod

Wow! (5 stars)
This is a mix of old and new. The instrumental "Hope" is definitely new for Rush, and is quite beautiful (12 string it sounds like). "Far Cry" is an awsome song that really grows on you. "The Main Monkey Business" (another instrumental) is also awesome. Lifeson added a lot of acoustic guitar on this album - a really nice touch. "The Way the Wind Blows" - great, hard driving balad. "Malignant Narci
