This CD by Rush is clearly unlike any other they have ever recorded. quite simply for the reason that they have never recorded anybody elses music. I enjoyed listening to the classic rock songs that not only have I loved but that the band has loved also. I must admit though I would have to agree with the other reviewer that this could have been alot more gritty. Mabey a bit too much production. If you haven't bought this CD yet, go out and get it. by now the price has dropped some, so it will be a great buy.

First up, this album is only covers. That's right, covers, from a band who haven't played someone else work since about 1973, so it's a departure from their previous work that's for sure. On this, Rush plays such classics as "The Seeker", "Crossroads" and "Heart Full of Soul". As always, bass, drums and guitars are tight. Alex even solos like it is 1976 on this one. But it lacks something... grit. This album, altough very interesting from a musical perspective, has been a small deception, since the band sounds exactly like they did on Vapor Trail. Wall of sound is good on new music, but old stuff like this need fills, drum breaks, etc. Plus, Geddy's voice has problem keeping up with some stuff, especially on The Seeker: Roger ain't easy to overpower that's for sure! In conclusion, for the price, get it. But it's no Hemisphere, or even Roll the Bones, wich says a lot.
