Here in the U.S. it came out on June 13th.

i have to wait another month for it here in the UK! raaaa
I've been thinking recently about this want to now what people think, Do you think Rush would be an even better band (i mean musically and relationships) if they wernt as underated or do you reckon that if they were more popular they would'nt be half as good a band as they are now?
I think that makes sense :S

I don't think they are underrated, at least not in the right music circles.

If you mean by the mainstream, they may not even be aware of their existence. Nonetheless, success of lack thereof isn't a factor in how much a band can get better. It can hinder their development musically, at most,.

Replay x3 is amazing! I cant wait for their new album, Neil Peart is saying that it is sounded very spiritual and that they have been recording in a different way. I'm having doubts on them touring early next year because of Alex's trial!

I'm hoping that they get out touring again, I really would like to see them in Toronto again. I saw them back on the R30 tour, and it was an incredible show. I'm really looking forward to seeing them again, if they tour again. My friend and I have already made plans to go when they come back.

I would love to see Rush myself, just started getting into them, what an amazing band. I saw a concert of them on tv the other day. I can't believe that Geddy can still sing like that.

Well Geddy definitely can't hit the high notes like he used to, but he's doing a lot better than I imagine a lot of people would have expected.

I think that his vocals got progressively better. But now I guess old age is taking a toll.

At Guitar Workshop in Toronto this year Alex Lifeson was one of the
special guests. I wanted to go really badly but I couldn't

Just got Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres in the mail. I've listened to AFTK and man is it awesome...haven't had a chance to dig Hemispheres yet though. I already know La Villa Strangiato is my favorite Rush song though.

I think these albums fill out my Rush collection pre-Moving Pictures, too. Except for the s/t.

Both of those albums are incredible. Possibly the two best that Rush has put out. I love the title track on AFTK.

I bought Replay X3 yesterday, and it's freakin' cool.

Seeing how their live show has progressed over time is interesting.

I think the whole thing on Grace Under Pressure with the "Put on your 3D glasses" was pretty cheesy, I got a real laugh out of it.

hay eye lyk dis band.

Yeah, I've hardly seen this thread. I still think Rush is one of the greatest band ever formed.

Those are probably my 2 favorite albums of theirs. But there's plenty of Rush left after that to enjoy.

It is so true.

My favs are:

All the worlds a stage and Exit, stage, left.

Bastille Day was like one of the first full songs i ever learnt :P

i can also play first 2 parts of 2112 (by ear though, not 100% correct) and The trees. Yeah, they are the ****.

Yeah, Exit... Stage Left has been one of my favorites for quite some time.

Go Trees! You can't help but root for the little maples.

Especially when the oaks are ignoring their pleas like they do.

I'm super excited for their new album. I have high expectations for it. I thought Vapor Trails was okay, it was a lot better then Test For Echo. I just hope that the new album is better then Vapor Trails.

I hope he keeps his vocals in the lower range, like the Feedback EP.

I hope that it's an album with one story song over 15 minutes and then a few other ones. That's their best album format.

Rush is a great band, Im just getting into them and they are very good. I only have 2112 and my favorite song is Something for Nothing.

And not 2112?

Yeh, I also like that song but preffer SfN. :)

I wish they would do that too. They also need to throw in the instrumental again. It's probably not going to happen, but we could dream.:mad:

They changed their sound. And as much as their old sound is better than their new one, I don't think that they personally want to do something like that again.

Favorite prog rock band along with Pink Floyd
Peart is god
Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and 2112 are the best to get

You can't have those without A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres. Those 5 together are the essential Rush albums.
