 rush cd
Purchased as new, came as new. Ordered other items so shipping was free. Cheaper than I could have bought it at Best Buy or Circuit City.
 Shows how a great band matures with style
I think this album gives a fine example of a great band with 30 years together can still create some great musical ideas. Alex's guitar playing shows a restrained maturity, and the emphasis on accoustic guitar really complements the album. I really liked Malignant Narcissism, as it builds a unique groove, and Alex's work on "Hope" which is really a standout on the album. Geddy seems to have found a new voice which is less shrill and surprisingly powerful. Niel's drum work is, of course, flawless throughout-- refined, tight and perfect. Lyrically, sometimes Neil strays a little too far into the "what is it all about" territory, but in general, a lot of emotion comes through in the material.
amazing,but remember
its frick n great, and amazing these guy have been play n so ong n through so much and havnt lost a bit of what they have always had, so this album is just more of what we love, damn their good, just remember this is a dvd, not a cd, but its not a video, its a dvd so you can listen to it in 5.1, if you dont have that but the cd, if you do you may want to buy both, unless your car has a dvd player, injoy mates!
RUSH is the greatest music group ever in world history
I'm writing this review of Snakes and Arrows by RUSH on Neil Peart the drummer's 56th birthday September 12th - happy birthday Mr. Peart sir! I am 37 and for the most part heard the drum fills for Tom Sawyer when I was 10 years old so I've been their biggest fan for 27 years or more. My name is Ian Mitnick in Baltimore Maryland. If Neil knew me he'd want me to say happy -56th bithday (he's getting younger!!) "Far Cry" is excellent and my 4 year old drummer nephew loves it and I've been a drummer since 2 years old starting with Gene Krupa. Every song is great on Snakes and Arrows! "Armor and Sword" is powerful with that eerie dissonance "no one gets to their heaven without a fight" - Workin them angels uses words Neil put in one of his books - its great - "The larger Bowl" is pretty and honest about money and such - I really like "Spindrift" about love and feelings - Neil is the best rock drummer in the world, Geddy is the rock bassist in the world, Alex Lifeson is so special and underated as the best rock guitarist - RUSH is the greatest. "Good news first", Alex's gorgeous "Hope", I could go on and on - you ARE missing out if you don't get into RUSH and buy their Thanksgiving 2008 live concert DVD!!
Their best in over 20 years!
Five years after the decent, yet sonic catastrophe that was Vapor Trails, Rush returns with this masterpiece, their first since Power Windows, back in 1985. With repeated listenings, this album will open up to you - like a blooming rose.
