Well, when I bought this album, I had no idea what I was in store for, as Rush's sound is constantly changing.

Being a huge Rush fan, I can honestly say that I absolutely love this album. In my opinion, it's one of the best albums they've ever put out. And it's the best album I've heard in...well, it's actually probably one of the best albums I've ever heard. It's amazing. Once you think this band is almost obsolete, they release this massive ball of energy.

As Highlights I'd pick the usual, "One Little Victory", "Ceiling Unlimited", and "Ghost Rider" as well as the title track.

The album has a very heavy, energized, metal-like sound. I think the emotions from Neil Peart's tragedy definitely show through in the songwriting. I love the heavy riffs, I love the loud, conspicuous drums, I love the muddy vocals. Everything about this album - I love. I wouldn't change a single thing about it, the imperfections make the album.

Why it's getting such bad reviews, I don't know, but this album is amazing.

I have new found respect for the entire band. Specifically Neil, moving on after his tragedy.

Rush, I salute you. And thank you for this wonderful, wonderful album.
