I've had limited exposure to Rush. However, from what I heard, I like. The singer's voice does get on my nerves though. The pro's outweigh the con's.
I love his voice lol he actually mellowed out alot on the new album, and I was sorta dissapointed, but its still good.
Lerxst, Dirk, and The Professor(/ Pratt)...;a band proving a way, so I would say. I would agree that they are rather underrated, greatly underrated to match their skill.
Geddy's voice is most certainly distinctly different from the first three albums, in the least.
(I kept a songlist from one of the Snakes and Arrows concerts, in case anyone was interested in this tour's lineup.)

I am going to see them in Toronto! But I prefer to be surprised by the set list. Although I'm sure they will play the staples like Limelight,Working man, 2112, Spirit of Radio etc./
I will not say anything more than my one disappointment at the absence of a song, was Roll the Bones. I suppose its constant presence finally achieved the "no, no, I'm not gonna' play that song again, I don't care how much the fans want it, I'm not gonna' play it" [as once described by Geddy (when explaining the creation of setlists)] category.
(Tom Sawyer was present, of course, though.)
(And, I actually get to see them again at Madison Square Garden!)
Yeah, I am thinking of trying to see them in Europe too, As I am going there with my wife for a month before taking a transatlantic cruise through to carribean and to florida! So I will be having a busy autumn lol. ALso just bought tickets to the Arcade Fire...Man what is it with me wanting to see canadian music acts? lol Hey at least it's not Celine Dion or someone lol.
Indeed. My family will be visiting Europe as well, though not until next year, and if the present pattern of six months, to one year, to two years, to five years between albums persists (as is likely) we won't be touring abroad at the same time as the band. Though I suppose one could always take off to The Great White North for the next tour. That would be preferable, really.
