Opinions of Rush’s latest release “Snakes and Arrows?”?
They keep bringing on great music. Three of the best musicians at their respective instruments, jointly producing an amazing sound together for over 30 years. keep bringing it!
I’ve been a Rush fan since 1978, possibly ’77 (hard to remember exactly, but around the time A Farewell to Kings came out). I’m 45 now. Been following the band all these years. Sometimes been a bit disappointed, but probably just because, for awhile, they got away from the HEAVINESS that they possessed.
Happily, I found that, around the Counterparts album, and definitely with Test for Echo, they returned to a HEAVINESS that seemed to really pervade their songs. I was taken back somewhat by Vapor Trails lack of Alex’s classic soloing, but he did some different things, and DEFINITELY HEAVY!
Snakes and Arrows is a BRILLIANT album. I bought it the day it was released! Over the years I have developed much more toward the acoustic side of things, and they REALLY kicked my butt this time around with the emphasis on acoustic instruments in most of their songs this time around.
This band continues to inspire me. They seek to be themselves, and remain true to their convictions, and their talents, not resting on their past laurels.
There’s some GREAT interviews out there right now, by the way.
Alex Lifeson on the cover of Guitar Player magazine, extensive interview and accompanying articles.

Neil Peart on the cover of one of the Drum mags, tho’ can’t remember which one.

RUSH: SNAKES & ARROWS $11.87 Rush: Geddy Lee (vocals, bass guitar); Alex Lifeson (guitar); Neil Peart (drums).Recording information: 2006.In the five years since their last full studio album, a covers EP (2004′s FEEDBACK) and two live releases (2003′s RUSH IN RIO and 2005′s R30) hardly sated the throngs of Rush fans hungry for new music. SNAKES & ARROWS is all they could have possibly hoped for and dreamed about. The brash, contemporary vibe of 2002′s VAPOR TRAILS has been shed as the trio returns to the polished production and complex arrangements of their most beloved works.Woven into the later-era Rush song stylings are no less than three instrumentals: “The Main Monkey Business” (a hard rocking full-band workout), “Hope” (a solo acoustic guitar piece written and performed by Alex Lifeson), and the humorously titled “Malignant Narcissism” (featuring Geddy Lee’s riffy, fretless electric bass and Neil Peart’s tasty drum breaks). Keyboards are few and far between on SNAKES & ARROWS, with erstwhile Geddy Lee collaborator Ben Mink contributing strings. Peart’s lyrics remain cerebral and poetic–challenging conventional spirituality (“Faithless” and “Armour & Sword”), examining the often troubled nature of mankind (“The Way The Wind Blows” and “The Larger Bowl”) and the frailties of communication (“Spindrift” and “Good News First”). All the elements of classic Rush are here, making perhaps the band’s finest late-career statement. |

Snakes & Arrows [Import Version] $28.04 When Rush issued Vapor Trails in 2002, they revealed that — even after Neil Peart’s personal tragedies in the 1990s had cast the group’s future in doubt — they were back with a vengeance. The sound was hard-hitting, direct, and extremely focused. Lyrically, Peart went right after the subject matter he was dealing with — and it was in the aftermath of 9/11 as well, which couldn’t help but influence his lyric writing. In 2004 the band issued a covers EP that was in one way a toss-off, but in another a riotous act of freewheeling joy that offered a side of the band no one had heard for 30 years. There were a couple of live offerings and a 30th anniversary project as well that kept fans happy perhaps, but broke — though Rush in Rio was the kind of live album every band hopes to record. Snakes & Arrows represents the band’s 18th studio album. Produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver, Superdrag), the record is another heavy guitar, bass, and drums…drums…and more drums record. The title came — unconsciously according to Peart — from a centuries-old Buddhist game of the same name about karma, and also from a play on the words of the children’s game Chutes and Ladders. Its subject matter is heavy duty: faith and war. From the opening track (and first single), acoustic and electric guitars, bass hum, and Peart’s crash-and-thrum urgency in the almighty riff are all present. When Geddy Lee opens his mouth, you know you are in for a ride: “Pariah dogs and wandering madmen/Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues/The ebb and flow of tidal fortune/Electrical charges are charging up the young/It’s a far cry from the world we thought we’d inherit/It’s a far cry from the way we thought we’d share it….” At the same time, inside the frame of the refrain, Lee refuses to be conquered in the face of chaos: “One day I feel like I’m ahead of the wheel/And the next it’s rolling over me/I can get back on/I can get back on.” Alex Lifeson’s guitars swell and Peart’s crash cymbals ride the riff and push Lee to sing above the wailing fray. Great beginning. “Armor and Sword” contains an instrumental surprise. After an initial ride-cymbal clash, the guitar and bassline sound exactly like King Crimson playing something from Red or Larks’ Tongues in Aspic. The theme is repeated on an acoustic guitar before Lee begins singing about the shadowy side of human nature brought on by the many times children are scarred in development. The boom and crackle of electric guitars and bass are all there, but so is that sense of melody that Rush have trademarked as Lee states, “…No one gets to their heaven without a fight/We hold beliefs as a consolation/A way to take us out of ourselves….” There is no screed for or against religion per se, but a stake in the claim of hope and faith as absolutely necessary to accomplish anything, hence the refrain. Peart beautifully articulates the dark side of life’s undersurface; he has been writing the best lyric |
