Sucks that the Rock 98.9 refuses to play Any Rush at all???

I guess they are too busy playing Shinedown 24-7-lol

A lot of people in KC probably don't even know they have a new CD out and it rocks!!

Great interview with Alex Lifeson:

Crap. Rolling Stone is showing Rush some love? That pretty much proves that the Mayans were right and the world really is going to end this year.


Btw, thanks for posting the interview links!

Exactly - Jan Werner the owner-Hates Rush and has also kept them out of the hall of fame.

Rolling Stone is Basically a combo of Teen Beat and People magazines now days.

Hits #2 on Billboard with over 103,000 units sold and #1 in Canada. Very strong sales in Europe as well.

Just think if they would actually get some radio play??


CD of the Year hands down!!

Being the uncultured oaf that I am, I didn't realize that the album is essentially a retelling of Voltaire's Candide. If you enjoy the album, definitely checkout Candide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candide

It's really a phenomenal album. Wonder which ones they'll do live? They did Caravan and BU2B during the Time Machine tour...I'm expecting Headlong flight to be a staple, The Anarchist is one of the best songs on the album IMO, i hope they do that one.

Finally downloaded the album, simply awesome. Some of their best work in years.

I haven't fallen in love with an album like this in many, many, moons.

yeah it's an awesome album.
i've been getting into the Geddy Lee solo album My Favorite Headache again.
sounds better now than it did when it came out in 2000 for some reason.

To me, "Halo Effect" sounds like it could have come off of My Favorite Headache.

yeah, i agree.

It's a nice change of pace from time to time. The title track and Working At Perfect are the two i seem to listen to the most on that one.

I've been mixing in some Vapor Trails stuff when listening to the new album - a lot of it's very fast paced (for Rush) and fits in well together. One Little Victory, Secret Touch, and Nocturne in particular go quite well in setlists with BU2B, The Anarchist and Headlong Flight.

It's amazing how much they change, break new ground, yet still sound like Rush and never sell out. Total badasses.

i forgot about this track from Grace Under Pressure, thought i'd share it with you RUSH Fans:
