Nytt album og ny turné fra Rush (setlist lagt til)

[SnittLeif]

Herlig! Hører på Farcry-klippet nå og dette høres ut som det lever opp til alle mine forventninger. Rush har enda ikke skuffet meg med et eneste album og de gjør nok ikke det nå heller. Fantastisk

Sinnsykt bra laga amatør-video av sangen Far Cry fra Snakes & Arrows. Men på slutten, hvor de spiller på scenen, er det klppet fra ett opptat til en annan sang spillt live. Det er litt komisk.

Rush

Snakes & Arrows MTM Music

Staff Writer

 

Comments: In life some things are best categorized as facts, one being that Rush is one of rock’s greatest bands of all time. The band has an undying will to exceed their previous performances whether it be live or in the studio. Fact! Lifeson, Lee and Peart are top of the bill performers live. Fact! Peart is a gifted songwriter whose lyrics are poetical and esoteric, create yet another focal point in the wave of musical expertise provided by the band and provide enjoyment for fans and listeners. Fact! You could go on and on. Are there any other bands like that? Might be, but like with white wine; you can have plain and simple white wine sweet and tasty served cold, or you could decide to have a sparkling Champaign tickling your senses. Rush however equals no less than Dom Perignon Rosé!

 

1. “Far Cry” the song is somewhat the key to the new and improved Rush sound. Blending their elusive past with the high standards in production of the 3rd millennium, the band already gave us a little insight on “Vapor Trails.” “Far Cry” however instantly builds the bridge between the bands elusive rock sound from the past and their newly found ‘youth’ making it all become full circle. The pumping and driving bass line in combination with Peart’s drum rolls and shuffles are absolutely magnificent. Lifeson edgy and blunt riffs make it a rock hard experience warming us up for more to come. The song immediately captures the band’s intentions and can hear the amazing multi layered production, best experienced with a set of head phones.

 

2. “Armor and Sword” is announced by Neil with a drum roll timidly coloured by some tasteful guitars and bass, warping us back to the “Cygnus” heydays raved by die hard fans. Opening all registers along the way the amazing lyrics of Peart stand out almost living a life in 2-diverse dimensions as an observer. “No one gets their heaven without a fight” is a mindbender, reflecting on modern day society as well as on ones personal well-being. The phrase will have you reflecting on the lyrics for many days to follow.

 

3. “Working Them Angels” reflecting on the bands history in a rear view mirror driving towards the East, Neil found his inspiration. The rear view however also flies for the sound of Rush with the old and new seemingly sown together in a radiant cocktail of rock. A larger than life sound with numerous breaks and fierce drum breaks and shuffles creating a dense atmosphere. The building tension is broke by the chorus which is warm and mega melodic.

 

4. “The Large Bowl” is the dish on which life’s luggage is collected, building character and moulding a personality. Dealing with the issues of life it sounds rather poetical, and the song comes off as one of the most radio friendly tunes on this disc. Musically it reaches back to the feelings of the recalling “The Trees” with a nice guitar lead and slightly hypnotically hook, slowly building up tension and power unleashed by a blistering signature solo from Alex.

 

5. “Spindrift” picking his strings and added noises slowly creates a taunting setting over which Geddy’s high pitched vocals seem rather frustrated. But not only Geddy’s voice marks the difference here, his playing is effective and vivid, with Peart laying down a pompous loud rhythm. Lifeson’s flying retro guitar sound jangles and moans often reviving the sound from the Led Zeppelin era. At 4:30 the song unloads a tremendous pompous power dying out in merely 50 seconds.

 

6. “The Main Monkey Business” is the first and best of three instrumental tunes on this remarkable CD. Without being bound by lyrics crying to be brought to life, the band goes absolutely soul free like in the old days resulting in a cross over of the impressive live smacker “YYZ” and the ‘space opera’ “2112”. Signature ingredients such as Neil’s stop ‘n go drum breaks and percussion work and Geddy’s breathtaking bass extravaganza alongside an inspired and full shred Alex Lifeson. Halfway being “2112,” inflicted sound fragments fly by after which the band pumps up the impressive sound more with layers of keys, slowly flowing into the gripping harmony once again to be followed by a blistering guitar outing. The song is an explosion of progression and profession which will do extremely well as the opener on their upcoming tour.

 

7. “The Way the Wind Blows” drums announcing the entrance of a swelling heavy duty ‘70s inspired guitar hook which repeatedly drives by loudly. Lee takes place as the announcer on vocals and arriving at the bridge acoustic guitars take over for a warm melodic chorus. “We grow the way the wind blows…or be broken down blow by blow” is another brain boggler. Like in the previous track the song is slightly boosted by some space rock elements in the best Hawkwind tradition, and Peart’s amazing percussion work and cymbal torturing is a highlight on this great song.

 

8. “Hope” showcases more of Lifeson’s skills on 12 string guitar with his unique trademark sound that must tickle the senses of many Rush-ians all over the globe. Even though it is rather short, it is a perfect breather towards more of the hard to define Rush sound.

 

9. “Faithless” catches ones attention for numerous reasons but for mostly because of the following lesson of life “I've got my own moral compass to steer by.” Anyone’s downward spiral can be broken because of a captivate words like these. A grand opening of a wall of sound vividly coloured by Lee with a low tuned bass and some hard driving guitars and humming riff do the rest. During the bridge, before the chorus a Beatles-esque montage flies by, keys and mellowtron start pumping up the sound even more, the song enrols it’s electric and (somewhat) eclectic beauty. By Thor; Geddy can be heard bringing his “Templars” back to life on this.

 

10. “Bravest Face” another “V T” embedded song that has a grand opening and timid continuation, with a maximum pompous “Signals”-days chorus and “Roll the Bones” underscores. Calling back to a different era and huge sound the song also delivers depth and difference in the sound and approach.

 

11. “Good News First” the full shred opening immediately warps us back to the “Farewell” era with high pitched vocals from Geddy giving his best. Hard and driving are the keywords before unveiling a pleasant chorus even though guitars are still driving and playing up front in the mix. Awkwardly loud, yet the vocal line is mega melodic. The songs features a warm laid back mid section which builds upon an acoustic foundation of guitars and vocals leading to a humming melodic solo. The song definitely deserves more than one spins to for the listener to digest.

 

12. “Malignant Narcissism” is yet another guitar led staccato rocker with a loud bass attack and impressive drum breaks and shuffles. Whammy and distorted guitar sounds and sound fragments warp us back to the old days again whilst bass and drums keep progressing in close harmony almost like it doesn’t cost them a drop of sweat. Unlike the inaccessible previous track, this one is combusted by the signature Rush sound and feeling and embodies the impressive power and capabilities of the musicians.

 

13. “We Hold On” finishing of a big hour of progressive musical mayhem is the powerful rocker, that leans off of some hard hitting drum beat and colourful bass playing. Upbeat and evolving, it features some ominous guitar work from Lifeson who clearly enjoys his spotlighted presence on this record like never before. Double bass rolls over the mid Eastern inspired guitar lick while Lee’s vocals are moaning and drenched in melancholy. The song is the perfect topping on a tasteful cake in which the band has been slowly building up towards a top performance.

 

Snakes & Arrows is yet another gem that unlike the aforementioned Dom Perignon needs no aging. With the quality of song material at hand, one tends to wonder if there’s ever a point where the band runs out of ideas. Every single song is a hit, and even those few which need several spins and are tougher to digest, have all the key ingredients for a Rush classic song. On top of that the band has made a wise decision to bring in Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver) who delivers his finest work to date. The sound is multi layered, crystal clear, energetic and vibrant without lacking its tremendous (needed) power. For die hard fans as well as for fans of all genres in rock, this is a must have. And while you’re at it make sure to get your hands on the special edition in MVI format, which has to be an even better experience!
