Page 1 of Rush - Snakes and Arrows

Listened to it once so far, Heavier sound than usual, but like it.
Will give it a few more plays, but this seems like a great album. :D

Thought Far Cry was a really good song. :)
Only listened to the first 3 songs but am loving it. Really couldn`t get into Vapor Trails at all - much better stuff this. I hope...
Read a great interview with Neil Peart a few weeks back all about the writing and recording of the album - really interesting. :)

When`s it supposed to be out ? Got mine on pre-order at CD-WOW but no sign of it yet !

Monday

I`m just playing it for the first time. So far excellent.

Much better then Vapour Trails. :D

Got mine this morning too...very good so far (4 tracks in !)

Wouldn`t have to be brilliant to be better than `Vapor Trails` (sonically at least...worst engineered/mastered album ever !

This is the best thing they`ve done for quite some time.
Some great tracks - and the instrumental "The Main Monkey Business" is up there with YYZ..... :o
Great album - seeing them again in October... :)

Rush is one of the classic rock bands that I`ve really yet to get into. That`s more because I don`t hear a great deal of their stuff unless I`m listening to Planet Rock. I`ve heard a couple of tracks from Snakes & Arrows, and although they didn`t stick in my head, I remember thinking that they were great.

Are some of you guys big Rush fans? Should I start with their first album as a means of trying to get into them? The only song that I can really say I know well is "The Spirit of Radio", which I really like.

EDIT: I keep looking at the Rush "Gold" compilation - I guess it is a good place to start?

As a lightweight non-Rush fan myself, I think you`d be OK starting with this:

The Rush fans may have a different opinion though...

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...

A compilation cd isn`t a bad way to get into them I suppose..- there`s certainly a spread through the ages on that linked cd.
Make sure your next is `Moving Pictures` though..loud. :D
