TEST FOR ECHO

Been a fan for dog years and T4e is not one of the better albums Rush has released. i'll keep it as a fan but some of the lyrical content leaves much to be desired. Allthough i understand the message of the title track. I just cant seem to get past lines like, "Tough talking hoodboys in pro team logo knockoffs". Couldn't there have been some other way to say that? I guess not. It doesn't roll off the tongue well and kinda ruins the song for me. That is just one example of some of the horrific (for lack of better word) lyrics deposited in this record. I'm sorry Neil! Other than that, it's Rush and the musicianship is there. Not to mention the cd art and graphics are incredible throughout. If I had to guess without looking, I would say that it is Hugh Syme magic. If only the songs as a whole were up to snuff. Well, you can't have it all in a handbag. You could opt to listen to something other than t4e in the Rush catalogue while enjoying the t4e artwork. 'nuff sed!
