New Rush Album - Snakes and Arrows *

So it appears the new Rush album has a name - Snakes and Arrows (edit: corrected message text). The first single which is supposed to hit radio either 3/13 or 3/19 is "Far Cry" (http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=16697). The album is allegedly going to hit stores on May 1.

R30 was also nominated for a Juno

Some possible summer tour dates were leaked here (note: not confirmed as real, but it looks like a plausible itinerary):

THANKS!!!!

 

Just to get it out of the way now, let me make the inevitable comment that hopefully it'll be mastered better than Vapor Trails...

 

FMQB link isn't working.

 

Strange, this says Snakes and ARROWS:

I just heard Bubbles will be joining them on tour as Rhythm Guitarist and Backing Vocalist.

 

Maybe one day they'll remove a track, add a lot and rename it Good Boys... When They're Asleep

 

Sorry... The 1975 Best of album by Faces was named Snakes and Ladders, which never got a CD release in the US.

 

Gorts - can you change the thread to Snakes and Arrows please?

 

Amen to that!

 

As a big Foo Fighters fan, I'm excited to see Nick Raskulinecz behind the desk. Not talking as an audiophile or about sound quality, but as a music fan. He is good at arrangements and getting a good rock and roll sound on tape. Sounds like Neil is excited too, which is no easy feat!

 

Michael Jackson's chimp??

Cool! I look forward to it.

 

Jun. 13 - Nashville, TN @ Starwood Amphitheater

This time, I will be there!!

Thanks for the thread!!

 

Thanks for posting this, can't wait to see them as Jones Beach again!

 

Mike Portnoy interviews Neil, along with Nick Mason, Bill Bruford, and Lars Ulrich, in January 2007's UK Rhythm drum mag.

Mike asks Neil about the song writing/demo process re: the new album. Interesting insight from Neil.

 

Can't wait....

Thanks for sharing the link. I often forget he's got his own site.

 

Mastering and mix aside, VT is very hard to listen to for me. It is a very Pro Tools-esque production (i.e. it was pieced together). A more back to basics approach for them (a la Feedback) is a good thing.

I'll reserve judgement, but I know at least one song will make it into our live setlist for Phantom Fears.

 

AWESOME!!! I just finished reading Neil's latest book "Roadshow" last night. Really looking forward to this album.

 

I'm not enjoying Roadshow as much as his last one so far. Neil's coming off more whiny than usual in spots.

 

I agree with you. I did like it though, especially the insights into their tour routines.
