2 stars Big mistake.

There's no point in stretching a review here: this is simply some 'metal gods' (Sebastian Bach, Labrie, Baker, Portnoy, Allman and Sheenan) doing a carbon copy of the canadian trio we all know and love. So you can hear the same song as the album in a heavier version, with a metal attitude that doesn't really suit the core of Rush.

Giving more cajones to Rush' songs sounds tacky (leather pants, big hair and vocal exagerations) and loses the intelligence and credibility of the original version. It's always decieving when you pay for something and what you get is...the exact same thing. On thing althought, is the 'new' version of the Analog Kid that really, really shakes your soda (thank you Russell and Pinella).

Honestly, look somewhere else.
