SNAKES & ARROWS

5 long years have passed for Rush and I am mixed here as I'm sure many fans are.The first thing that jumped out to me when I spun the disc for the first time is the production/mix. What an improvement from Vapour Trails! What I'm also sure about though is that this is a quality outing from the world's best Canadian Trio and the grandfathers of Prog (as far as I am concerned). Highlights for myself include the instrumentals ''Malignant Narcisism", "The Main Monkey Business" - these two just rock and are as creative as Rush has ever been. "Faithless", "Far Cry" are catchy little tunes too, as is "The Larger Bowl". If you like Rush, give this outing a try.....
