Rush

What I got was a progressive metal album with strong references to Dream Theater. The guitars and the keyboards is very much down the Dream Theater alley. Dali's Dilemma is not Dream Theater copies though because their album was recorded and released before Dream Theater developed into th...

5/5 STARS - The very first note of this album will capture you completely & won't let go--from the lofty harmonies through the driving beats & furious guitar solos to the exquisite finish, "Digital Ghosts, the new album from Shadow Gallery, is a revelation.I'm a huge fan of music. I...

By jacobull Upon reflection of my recent trounce of Rush’s soon to be released Working Men dvd I felt perhaps I can make amends by providing readers (Rush fans specifically) a link for streaming Rush radio for their listening pleasure. After listening to Digital Man a few times already, I’m goin...

By mikeeps Dream Theater – Basically the flag bearer for progressive rock. Train of Thought is their most metal album, but every album has significant metal overtones through out. Scenes from a Memory is widely considered to be one of the best prog album of the 1990’s if not of all time. (Dream Theater Ex...

Hemispheres is no less than a PROG Rock record, yet it's just not the side I particularly enjoy from Rush, and well it's not that it's a excellent PROG Rock record either, A Farewell to Kings deserves that position. RUSH Music Online:

I think for some people the choice of material would be off-putting, and whilst I agree the setlist is not faultless (the setlist from Exit Stage Left is perfect) you have to appreciate this is right up- to-date, hence the setlist, and in my view this is a top-notch concert DVD. It's thorough...

Jacob's Ladder is the darkest song Rush ever made. It plods along slowly, and uses well of the keyboard effects. The emotional resonance is powerful, and the boys cull a wide range of musical ideas for it. Certainly a career highlight, those dangerous and hateful guitar lines that Lifeson st...

It's important to remember that about this album. It's fun. It's the only Rush album that I can call "fun." The lyrics here were written mostly by Geddy and Lifeson (if I'm not mistaken) and they are very down to Earth. "I get up by seven, yeah, and I go to work by nine..." "I've been here, I've been ther...

This was one of the first Rush albums that I bought after listening to my parents' Chronicles compilation all my life, as I had heard from someone that this is one of their most essential albums. In a sense I disagree, as I consider the following three albums some of the greatest musical work o...

Artist: Rush Album: Retrospective III (1989-2008) Review: By the Nineties, Rush had all but abandoned their synthesizers for the Zeppelin-style riffs and prog-pop melodies of their Seventies albums. This one-CD (plus bonus DVD) anthology tracks the band as it drifts from the shimmer...

Wow. It's only been 2 weeks since MitA last shared with us his latest batch of Rush oddities, and he's already got some more for us! He must be feeling inspired.

A meme has developed in certain fan circles over the past few decades: Rolling Stone hates Rush. Ever since RS ran its review of Hemispheres in 1979, we've gotten more letters from Rush fans than perhaps anyone else. Most input runs along the lines of: "RS obviously hates Rush" or "Why hasn't...

As I said on the blog, this is taken from my brother’s Rush – All The World’s A Stage – 8 TRACK!!! I recorded it to cassette and just found it while transfering all my old cassettes to the laptop. Neil Peart is the greatest drummer ever to smack a cymbal or pick up a set of sticks.
