I want better than good from Rush, i want excellent, that's why i dont have high expectation for this new release, considering the 2 new songs we have heard. It's good but it's not my "ideal Rush"...

Niel Peart said in an interview "I intend it to be my highest achievement lyrically and drumming wise."

That's a big statement for him to make.
To come back into form with his drumming hasn't seem quite possible, but i think he has always had good lyrics.

I really hope Rush releases Clockwork Angels soon.
I hear they have an epic song on it.

I've heard that too, I really hope it's true. I can't wait for this album. So far I've heard Caravan and BU2B and love them both.

well you have many original, self-made Pop artists too;  U2, Gary Numan, Police, Cocteau Twins, Prince, John Lennon, the list is very long

I'd agree with that.  Past that, though... was probably Permanent Waves.

Snakes and Arrows was prog - yes.
Before that, i'd have to say Signals.

The Weapon is the main reason why i think this.

Rush has never stopped being prog, in my opinion. Of course, they were more obviously progressive earlier in their career, and have since then been switching between crossover prog and rock with slight prog tinges.

I feel that even they're most mainstream/popish albums are still progressive.
