It's worth it. Do what you can. I will confirm that Geddy sounded better than ever.

This I can understand, although I still think the chorus is pure cheese.

Nah brah, I could care less about that; I have gay friends, too. But I also don’t feel the need to defend my masculinity with such cringe lyrics as Neil did. He didn’t even have to say that his friend was gay, but rather that they drifted apart and he was sad when he found out he died. But he...

To me it’s not so much that it is rap, but rather that it’s just so cheesy. It seems too try-hard and out-of-place in my book. The best part of that section to me is the cool eerie guitar stuff in the distant background.

Over the past month or so I’ve listened to Rush’s ‘90s and 2000s efforts extensively and I like most of them quite a bit. I’ll do individual write-ups like @MrK and @Diesel 11 have done at some point, but a few quick observations: - Surprisingly, I find Roll the Bones to be more consistent than...

I forget which update did it, but eventually the flashlight was added to all weapons do you didn’t have to keep switching to it. Maybe that contributed to the dizziness?

Lol, I’m the opposite; I feel like I get to the final area of games and then often move on to something else. It’s madness haha. I’m not sure about the Game Pass thing, but if you’re playing the BFG Edition both RoE and Lost Mission are included.

I agree on the first two Dooms. I adored 1 but didn’t care much for 2, even if it brought in the super shotgun and several iconic monsters. I think trying to make “realistic” levels (it was hell on earth after all) with an engine that wasn’t advanced enough to accurately portray them really...

RE: Assassin’s Creed… I’ll pick up Black Flag resynced at some point, as I loved the original. Odyssey, Shadows, and Origins were all spectacular in my opinion, but Valhalla was a mess. So much potential destroyed with blandness everywhere. Doom 3 is so underrated. I know everyone loves the...

That’s awesome. @MrK and I saw night 3 in Chicago and it was spectacular. Moving Pictures in full was such a treat. No better bang for your buck than going to an “evening with” show for an artist you really like. I’ve seen far too many subpar openers suck time away from the headlining artist...

Natural Science is absolute top-tier Rush.

I’m glad we can all agree on this being a good thing, although it never should’ve taken this long.

@Diesel 11 I recall Counterparts not only being Rush’s best ‘90s-2000s album, but also one of their strongest records overall. But it’s been a while since I’ve heard it. Haha, I don’t recall Presto being a very good album, either (but again, it’s been a while).

Wait, there’s a remix? Prime Mover is one of my favorite Rush songs, and Mission is up there too. Other than these two and Time Stand Still, I don’t remember much else from this album. I’m excited to revisit it. Prime Mover has such sexy silky bass, and even though it’s tonally a very happy...

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to this album, but I remember really liking Middletown Dreams.

I wish we had gotten Leper Messiah and Battery in Chicago two years ago!

Their bassist is pretty solid though. Gnat or something? I think if Load had cut 2x4, Cure, Poor Twisted Me, and Ronnie, it would’ve been a stronger album. With Reload, methinks Better Than You, Slither, and Prince Charming and/or Attitude should’ve gotten the boot.

I think it’s mentioned further back in this thread, but Lars is playing to a click track now (that may explain why they sound so good compared to past tours). @MrK and I saw their No Repeat shows in Chicago in 2024 and they were outstanding. Pretty sure they played all of Ride the Lightning...

The Star Fox 64 remake looks incredible. I loved that game as a kid! I even remember making Fox’s vehicles out of Legos (I was particularly proud of the submarine). Looks like I’ll have to splurge for a Switch 2 since I opted for the Switch 1 version of Metroid Prime 4. Glad I did, though, since...

I saw The Astonishing in full in Chicago with @MrK and honestly it was exactly what it was: the entire subpar album (DT's worst, and I hate Octavarium) and nothing else. I'm not surprised there's no official footage.
