Temporary Message Board Closure
The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that
would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling
to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different
platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content
(posts, user profiles, etc.).
However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere
from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated.
While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some
long-term savings.
The current message board will be closed down at some point this
Saturday, August 23. I will post updates here. The main site (where you are
reading this), will NOT be affected.

| This is the last GREAT Rush album in my opinion. The fat old progressive butt cheeks have been exercised, worked over and tightened up to form lean, musical melodic buttocks. I know that sounds REALLLY gay, but in my defense, my girlfriend is looking over my shoulder right now, laughing.

| A very unique album. Its still Rush, but they've made yet another healthy quantum leap in style. I love it, although some fans have complained about the radical production technique that has been applied to Geddy's vocals.

| This was the second Rush album I heard (the first was Permanent Waves, which is an utterly astonishing album). My review of Presto is: Where has the magic gone? OK, but - ultimately dull.

| After the utter boredom of "Hold Your Fire" and "Power Windows", this was their return to magic. 'Show Don't Tell' is among the best opening songs by any band - ever. Their only release since 'Grace' that entirely convinced me.

| While I agree with the above post that the last two albums were utter bores, this one is not much of an improvement. Sure, they have dropped the new wave stylings of the last few albums to more of a rock format, but the songs are still boring. 4/10

| Rush returns to rock after some keyboard-driven material of the last few albums. "Show Don't Tell" is a great start to an overall good record. "The Pass", "Presto" and "Superconductor" are good songs in their own right. Not great Rush, but a marked improvement.

| It doesn't sound gay, Koogles, I only wish I'd have thought of such ingenious matching of syllables. I'm married, so I don't care what I sound like. This is a little better but nowhere near the studious work of old.

| Este album hay que escucharlo varias veces para cogerle el gusto,los temas son complicados pero con su respectiva dosis de melodías,de hecho The Pass es un temazo con su atmósfera mística que solo Rush sabe darle,Show don´t tell gran apertura(Neil Peart todo un genio para coordinar los ritmos en su batería),otro gran tema es Superconductor, te engancha con sus ritmos,Hand over fist y Available light grandiosos tambien,para mí gran album a la altura de Grace Under..,pero más difícil de digerir.

| I've been listening to RUSH since 81 and for some reason his one gets played more than my other RUSH cd's. I guess it's the memories of where I was in life at that time. I like every song and was lucky enough to catch them on this tour. As always an awesome show.
