Review Summary: It's not everyday that this band performs tracks from other bands, so it's a great opportunity to add this EP to your personal collection.
Feedback is the first EP from one of the most influential bands in rock history. This album is actually a cover album,
Rush just didn't tried to imitate but gave to the performed tracks the touch of
Rush. The band decided in this EP to tribute bands such as
The Who,
Cream or
The Yardbirds for example.
In my opinion
Rush were able to transform this 2004 release in something really worth having for anyone that is a rock fan. Usually cover albums aren't anything special, most of the bands aren't able to put their own personality in the album.
Rush were able to transport the feeling of the original bands, combining it with their own style. The album starts with a cover song from
The Who. All the elements that made
Rush such an amazing band are present in the entire album, mixing the melody, great voice parts as well as exquisite instrumental parts.
Feedback doesn't get boring, the album length is actually quite short with fewer than 30 minutes. It's very quick and pleasent to listen. It's not very common to listen
Rush perform songs from another band, usually it's the other way around. Everyone that enjoys the style of this amazing band will certainly enjoy this EP. Great guitar parts from one of the most iconic guitar players of all time, Alex Lifeson. Artistic drum parts from Neil Peart, the best drummer in the world for decades, most of the drum parts in this record are better than the originals. The bass and voice of the awesome Geddy Lee makes every rock fan beg for more. In my opinion the tracks in this EP are even better than the originals, with all due respect to the original songs.
Rush had the ability to tribute great names of rock. It's not everyday that this band performs tracks from other bands, so it's a great opportunity to add this EP to your personal collection. Every
Rush fan will definitely enjoy this cover album. In my opinion it's one of the greatest cover albums in the last few decades.
