[Clem]

Lots of very positive reviews so far on Amazon.

God I love Amazon reviewers and their drama. We go from

This is the song that every Rush fan will want played at their funeral.

to

BU2B2 is chock full of sloppy guitar playing that it makes Kurt Cobain sound like a virtuoso.

I've only listened to it through once but I like it so far.

I've listened to the samples at Amazon and love it. Can't wait to get home and buy this one.

Breaking in a new Rush disc is like finding your favorite food on the menu of a brand new restaraunt; sure you've had it before but it tastes just a little bit different than you remember.

So far I like "Seven Cities of Gold", "The Wreckers", "The Anarchist", and "Caravan" quite a bit.

RUSH's first new collection of original material in over five years and their first studio release via Anthem/Roadrunner Records, "Clockwork Angels", is likely to sell between 85,000 and 95,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to industry web site Hits Daily Double. The estimate was based on one-day sales reports compiled after the record arrived in stores on June 12.

RUSH's 18th studio album, "Snakes & Arrows", debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart in May 2007 with sales of 93,000 copies. The disc was the first collection of all-new RUSH material since 2002's "Vapor Trails" and the 27th RUSH release to make the Billboard album chart. The band's chart peak was in 1993, when "Counterparts" debuted at No. 2.

Anyone reading the Clockwork Angels novel? I am about halfway through. It's an OK book, nothing too fancy. Cool to read the story behind the album.

HOORAY

Sunday Sunday Sunday! Sucks that it's on a Sunday but whatever. It just means I can drive and not drink, and probably enjoy the show a lot more lucidly than normal.

Envy!!!!!

I've seen the recent tour setlist if you're interested.

[miketheknife]

Yep I've looked at it too, looks like they have two different sets. The cool thing is they will be filming the DVD in Phoenix and Denver. Not that i'll actually get to be IN the dvd, but at least I will be able to say 'yeah man I WAS THERE!'

[miketheknife]

Stayed sober, because it was a Sunday night. The new music is AWESOME in concert. The old stuff, well we know it already.

I was going to send out picture texts but wasn't sure you guys would appreciate them at 10 or 11:30 on a Sunday.

[miketheknife]

After seeing it live in concert 'Force Ten' is now one of my favorite songs. It was kick-ass.

Just thought I'd share, have a nice day.
