Been meaning to post on this for a several days now.
According to a recent interview with the producer, Nick Raskulinecz, the new album's supposed to be quite good. The interesting quote: “the sound and vibe of an old Rush record”.
There's a rumor of a title, which I'm highly skeptical about.The new album is rumored to be called either Snakes and Arrows or Snakes and Ladders. I don't recall when a new Rush album title was ever correct. Long-time fans will recall Critical Mass as the rumored title for Counterparts, if I remember things right.
New album is said to be released in April/May at this point, with a probable tour. Also rumored is studio footage was shot for a DVD, which doesn't sounds like them at all. Oh well, time will tell.
