COUNTERPARTS

Hardly a RUSH song that got me like Animate did. After RtB, they were kinda dead. And then they came back with a vengeance. Unfortunately, the album doesn't offer a second Animate. Some commercial tracks on this one, indeed. Yet, this is RUSH's best issue in the 90's. Compared to awful RtB and dead boring T4E, there's some real, decent songwriting in it. Yust take Between Sun and Moon or Cut to the Chase. Double Agent, too. It may lack depth (Cold Fire), it certainly is too Geddy-ish (not the worst if you like his solo album as well), but it rocks. Rush re-animated!
