No track info yet I assume. I wonder if it will be full of "short" songs again.

 

[Mosh]

I read something on the Rush forum about how Alex Lifeson said that there will be some longer songs. I also read something about there being 8-10 songs.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

There's a rumor that says a new single will be released on the 30th: http://www.rushisaband.com/blog/201...gels-rumored-to-be-released-Friday-March-30th And damn those lucky punks who get to hear the whole album!

Just heard new Rush song "Headlong Flight" ..... Holy Fucking Shit!!!!! 7 and a half minutes of pure genius!!!!!! @rushisaband
I haven't had goosebumps like this in years. This is Rush at their finest. Seriously. Fuck this is amazing. @rushisaband
I'm very excited!

So bitchin'. I'm taking a day off of school for this. I saw them last summer, and they are seriously one of the best live bands ever. Only concert that's topped it is Guns N' Roses a few weeks ago.

There are supposedly a few long songs on this one. Seeing as most of my favorite songs are long, I am satisfied.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

You've all heard the 2 songs, BU2B and Caravan, that were released back in 2010 right?

 

[Kill Devil Hill]

Yeah. I didn't care for BU2B, but I really liked Caravan.

YES! The keyboards are back!

 

[Mosh]

The official artwork apparently leaked.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

So did the cover for the next tour book.

 

[Mosh]

Oh well that explains the rumors about Signals being played in its entirety. One of my least favorite Rush albums, I hope it doesn't happen.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

I personally love that album.

 

[Mosh]

I dunno, I've tried many times to get into it and I can't. My least favorite of the synth era. Its got awesome songs like Analog Kid Losing It and Subdivisions, but for the most part, meh.

 

[Forostar]

That song with the electric violin I find very good.

 

[Mosh]

Hmm. Not sure which one you are talking about.

 

[Forostar]

Here it is:

Love the build-up and melodies and the violin surely attributes to the atmosphere and also to the rhythm.
