SNAKES & ARROWS

You can't compare this album to Moving Pictures or Hemispheres or Signals. In fact, you can't compare it to anything rush has ever done because with each new release, we see a brand new incarnation of the band. You see them trying something new and different...something they've never done before. And at it's essence, isn't that the very nature of progressive rock? That's why I (and most likely so many other people) love them...why we keep coming back for more. They're not producing the same stereotypical rubbish with every single release. If they were, all of us who post here would have stopped listening to them a long time ago. Just accept this album for what it is...a fine piece of music surrounded by a world filled with Buckcherrys' and Brittany Spears'

Personally, I think the album is a vast improvement over VT. It is much more lyrical and poetic, and of course, they make up for the lack of instrumentals on their last outings with a vengeance here! Highlights of the album are Far Cry, Main Monkey Business, and Faithless.
