FEEDBACK

Before RUSH released their eponymous debut-LP in '73 they used to play covers from many great rockbands from the late Sixties and early Seventies. As a tribute to these hugh inspiration RUSH decided to release a cover-mini-CD with 8 songs from that era (from The WHO to The YARDBIRDS) entitled "Feedback" (2004). When I first listened to this CD, I got excited about the feeling that RUSH succeeded to blend their typical elements like distorted guitars, distinctive vocals and inventive drumming, with the atmosphere from that era (on their 2004 worldtour this was supported by great 'flower-power' graphics on a big screen). In my opinion "Feedback" is a great effort if you see it as a wonderful musical surprise from RUSH to their super-loyal fans all over the world, nothing less or more. Tip: play it loud and drink it with Moosehead beer, another tasteful product from Canada!
