How to rate this? Fans probably already have all their albums, so this isn't for them. Collectors? Maybe, but most likely not. Newcomers to Rush? I would prefer they get the studio albums from their peak period. Completionists? Well... that's what they do, so they'll want this. The music isn't ba...

By Power Windows(noreply@blogger.com) During the second episode of season two of the Japanese anime series K-On! which aired April 9th, 2009, when one of the characters goes to the music store to buy a Les Paul guitar, a Pearl drums banner on the wall has been reworked to read "Peart, the best reason to play drums".

Think 'Led Zeppelin II', Rush -'Moving Pictures', Iron Maiden - 'Powerslave', The Who - 'Who's Next'). If I were choosing, I would have gone with 'Too Fast For Love' or 'Shout At The Devil' for Motley. But it doesn't get much better than 'British ...

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...

While they have all but discarded their sleeve worn influences, I can't help but feel as if they are letting those very things silently control them. The compositions are by no means traditional rock format, and it is quite deep and involving at times. Not to mention there is more band member...

By Power Windows(noreply@blogger.com) Matt Westergard wrote in that every morning at 8:05, "Imus in the Morning" introduces Don Imus with "Tom Sawyer". Al Forgione reported that one of the guitarists for the metal band Into Eternity is wearing a Snakes & Arrows tour t-shirt in their new "Time Immemorial" music video.

Madrigal comes on and it's the shortest song on the album. It's a keyboard ballad. One melody is repeated over and over. The lyrics are bad: back to fantasy crap. In fact, most of the lyrics on here are a return to fantasy ideals, and they're a regression for Peart. The music is unmemorable. What hap...

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...

Kid Gloves- This song hasen't ever really stuck with me. I think it is a little too country/new wave/sci-fi for me, a bad mix. The slinky solo in this song is pretty good, but I don't think that the overall music, lyrics, and music flucuation really work for me. I think it would be great if the keys...

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.

By The Huffington Post News Editors As rare as it is for Limbaugh to open up to a reporter, the first part of his interview with Farndale for the Daily Telegraph is, truthfully, no great shakes. There's the accounting of his wealth, a description of the cloak and dagger process of getting to his studio, the requisite peek insid...

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.
