Test For Echo
Rush Heavy Prog

Review by Neo-Romantic

This album has already been thoroughly eviscerated by other reviewers, so I'll be succinct here. This is a strong example of a band writing on autopilot, recycling songwriting tricks prevalent throughout their previous efforts with the assumption a winning formula will do the work for them. The end result is a hodge-podge of uninspiring tracks that offer little emotion or indication of the group's actual level of talent. Barring a few interesting tracks, such as the title track, Driven, Time and Motion, the rest are very forgettable and emotionally flat. There are a few redeeming moments within certain tracks, such as select passages of the instrumental Limbo and Alex's solo on Carve Away the Stone (the tone he employs is quite interesting, actually), but any I haven't mentioned thus far are all tracks I regard as 2-star affairs or even lower. This is a rare for me, as I usually can at least find some redeeming qualities that my subjective preferences don't identify. But in the case of this album, tracks like Totem, Dog Years, and Virtuality are too unappealing for me to even pretend to like for the sake of rationalizing a potential silver lining. They're just plain bad to me, and I can't write a dishonest review, even for a band that has strong sentimental significance for me as my gateway into the prog community and a source of early inspiration for me as a budding musician.

In short, this is one of their weakest efforts, and I do not recommend it to anyone who is not already a dedicated fan. I've heard too many albums by this group and others that have moved and inspired me to the point that I cannot and will not give this anything higher than 2 stars. Even the best tracks on the album are far cries from 5 star songs, every single one of them. The fact that the weakest tracks are grouped so close together does absolutely nothing to redeem the album as a whole either. Not an album for completionists only, as a few songs are still good, but this is an undeniably weak release that I rarely play any more for good reason. I simply have many better albums that I would rather hear instead and do not feel I'm missing anything by not returning to this one in the slightest.

Caress Of Steel
Rush Heavy Prog

Review by Knapitatet

I really do not understand what people have against this album. For me this is Rush first real prog album and it definitely ranks higher in my book, than Neils, Ayn Rand fanfiction.. err, i mean "2112". All kidding aside though, this is the album where the group definitely gained my interest and made me a fan. There is still a touch of Led Zeppelin in the first two songs, but "Bastille Day" is still one hell of an opener that really makes you feel as if you are a part of a screaming mob, on their way to make dog food of Marie Antoniette during the French Revolution. "I Think I'm Going Bald" never really interested me but "Lakeside Park" is real nice with a dreamy theme that befits the nostalgic lyrics about Neils youth. "The Necromancer" continues on the dreamlike theme, with an intro that actually reminds me of the song "Solar Winds" from fellow Canadian Devin Townsends album "Ziltoid The Omniscient". Townsend seems to be a big fan of Rush so it is no surprise if it was here he found his inspiration. I dont particulary care for the fantasy lyrics, though and obviously Neil didnt either since he stopped writing them completely after this album.

"The Fountain Of Lamneth" is Rush first real epic wich tells the story of a man in search of the titular fountain since he believes it holds the meaning of life, only to in the end realize that it was the dream of the fountain that was the meaning of his life. (See what nice lyrics Neil can create when he is not writing about Hobbits or how awesome Capitalism is!) It is slightly weaker than their later epics. The songs actually consists more of a series of individual segments that have been patched together rather than one coherent song and most of it is in 4/4 believe it or not. Yet, it overcomes this trough the beauty of these segments alone, and some very good lyrics.

Caress Of Steel is not Rush magnum opus. That title is reserved for the latter album " Hemispheres" in my opinion, but it is a strong album well worthy of a buy.

Clockwork Angels
Rush Heavy Prog

Review by sukmytoe

When I first heard this album I didn't like it all that much however on subsequent listens it has grown on me somewhat. The music is very interesting Heavy Prog music - it isn't an album that I adore by any means but it holds my interest. I love "The Wreckers" and "The Garden". I really like"BU2B" as well as it's short second incarnation. The rest is interesting but nothing that I would pack to go to my desert island with. Having stated my case I do recognise the value of this album to the band and to its fan base (which club I have always been part of) - it's a valid musical statement in no uncertain terms - it is just a statement that doesn't sit there and shout loud enough to me personally. I expect great things to come from Rush and this album is an indicator thereof. For me 3 and a half stars however because I do recognise the value of this album it's ramped to 4 stars. Now if only Yes would take notice prior to whatever they may release next.

Snakes & Arrows
Rush Heavy Prog

Review by sukmytoe

A return of the band as I would have expected them to be - the best effort since "Grace under Pressure" in my opinion. This isn't the Rush of old but then this is Rush in 2007 - the music is powerful and interesting. The band survived the eighties and the nineties and now they present us with music that is good and interesting - the metal sounds of yore are very much gone and the approach is very much heavy progressive here. To list the tracks that I enjoy here would be to list all of the tracks and accordingly I will not go into that exercise. In a way I miss the sound of Rush in the 70's and the early 80's however this is a more mature, "together" sound and I find myself drawn to it. I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars here but if I forget Rush of old then it is easier to make the decision - this for me is a 5 star album as it represents the new very good sound of Rush while showing sparks (of the music style that I loved back then - not the quality, which is different but damn good) from times past . Good on yer Rush.

Vapor Trails
Rush Heavy Prog

Review by sukmytoe

A six year wait for this album since the last one - was it worth it? Peart had come through a very torrid period relating to life and was now ready to continue with the band and with the music. Again the band use the harder rock approach on this album. Highlights for me here are "One Little Victory", "Ghost Rider", "Secret Touch", "Earthshine". Personally I prefer the previous release to this one. There is nothing wrong with the music but there is not much that stands up and grabs me by my eyebrows. Formulaic hard rock with no direction is how I'd describe this effort. Kind of like Rush coasting down a hill in neutral gear. Not a bad album by any means but not an attention holder for me either. A three star effort for me - no more and no less.

Test For Echo
Rush Heavy Prog

Review by sukmytoe

I don't get the hate for this album - it was, like the previous one, a warm shower after the freeze that set in in the mid 80's. I've read some reviews where some think that Rush were emulating Dream Theater here and I simply don't get that either as they are nothing like similar on this album. Sure the Rush sound on this album is heavier than it had been for a long while however why is that a bad thing? There isn't a track on here that is bad or even mediocre - I sense a backlash on the band for their 3 weaker albums in the mid 80's. Highlights are "Driven" and "Resist". Usually I like longer tracks than what are on offer through album but aside from that small point I like the album - a lot. I think that a mistake that many listeners make regarding music is to expect a band to continue with their successes of the past, truth is that doesn't really happen. Anyone expecting another 2112 would be kind of seriously let down - besides, the fact that I find 2112 great is due to the fact that there isn't another 2112. This was the nineties - not the 70's and this specific album is a good album for the 90's. I find that with most bands there is a peak period and it's usually downhill from that point - a strong band keeps the interest flowing however even though they can't reproduce the creativity and the formula that once made them great - with this release and the previous one my interest was definitely still flowing. So - a seriously under-rated album which I will happily award four stars to and mean it - and those who know me know that I can't abide what I believe to be bad music and above that I'm usually very outspoken. To the haters - give this album another couple of listens and then tell me that it's worth the average rating that it is presented with here.

Counterparts
Rush Heavy Prog

Review by sukmytoe

Now that's more like it - finally a Rush album again that I could sink my teeth into. "Animate" caused me to sit up and pay attention once again relating to a band that I once loved and found I could love again. Was kind of like sitting back with an old friend who had gone missing for a long while sending me post cards now and then. Oooooh "Stick it Out" - harsher sounding Rush again - man! bring out the Jack. "Cut to the Chase" - no hiccups yet. "Nobody's Hero" very good track with good emotive content lyrically. "Between Sun and Moon" - interesting track. "Alien Shore" - again, interesting. "The Speed of Love" - ok track, nothing special. "Double Agent" - interesting track that I enjoy. "Leave that Thing Alone" - brilliant instrumental track. "Cold Fire" - really enjoy it. "Everyday Glory" - good emotive album closer.

I love this release and once again can pay attention fully to an old favorite band. What a difference an album makes. Four solid stars from me.

Roll The Bones
Rush Heavy Prog

Review by sukmytoe

Ooooh yes - they are definitely showing signs of coming back to life but dammit, they're taking their sweet time getting up again. Standout tracks - "Bravado", "Roll the Bones", "Where's my thing". At this rate I wouldn't have been suprised had a duet been arranged with Pat Bennetar and Geddy Lee on one of the albums. I must admit that by this time I was really getting tired of the band and their offerings - hell, Journey and Toto were exciting my eardrums more than Rush were by this point. Again a very standard offering from the band considering where they came from in the past. The fact that I have the album is testament to the fact that I don't dislike it but I missed the Rush adrenaline excitement thing of the past. Again - a three star rating for not offending me however I was at that point growing very impatient with the band.

Presto
Rush Heavy Prog

Review by sukmytoe

The damned thing stood up and gave me a bit of a shove! That's better - kind of like where the wrestler is seemingly down and finished but then you see his fingers spasm and you just know he is going to stand up and whup sum azz! Rush show signs of life in the twilight of the 80's. Stand out tracks - "Show don't Tell", "The Pass", "Scars", "Available Light". This is still, to the main, pretty innocuous stuff however there are definite signs that the band is coming back to life. I can't say that I disliked Rush through the mid to late 80's but neither can I say that they impressed me during the period. I have the albums and I'm happy that I have them but if I didn't I wouldn't be missing all that much. Another three star album for me but there are signs of hope that soon I will be bitten again by the music.

Hold Your Fire
Rush Heavy Prog

Review by sukmytoe

This album still presents Rush caught in the 80's whirlpool as was the previous album. There are no tracks on the album that shout to me that they are present and standing to attention. It's an innocuous album that is pleasant enough background music for me. There is no way that I would rush (heh heh) out and buy this album however if it landed in my collection I wouldn't set fire to it either. The trouble for me with this album is the same as it was with the previous album - if I play with a puppy I would like it to be feisty and bite me. This thing doesn't bite, or growl either - it just kind of sits there and looks cute. A three star album for me - saved from two stars because hell, it is Rush after all, and as I emphasised nothing here is worth lighting a cooking fire for to find out if it's edible as opposed to listenable.
