In a world full of uncertainty, at least there are some things in this world that you can count on. From the very beginning, Rush has been Canada's premier rock band, and that hasn't changed. They're still #1, and their place in Canada's music hall of fame is justly deserved.
Their latest offering, Snakes and Arrows live is just a continuation of the excellence that we've come to expect from them. From the opening licks of Limelight to the grand finale of YYZ, it's just one great Rush tune after another. Add to this the spontaneity of 2 nights in Rotterdam, Holland, and you have the formula for another great Rush CD. I've lost track of how many live albums that they have, but they're one of the few bands in the world that sound as good live as they do in the studio.
The continuing evolution of Rush is one of the most fascinating phenomenons in the Canadian music scene. You just never know what they're going to do next. The only thing that you can be totally sure of is the fact that whatever they do, they're going to do it extremely well. With three of the most talented musicians in the business, you know that you're always going to get quality work.
One of the highlights of the album is the old classic Rush tracks that you never heard live before. Songs such as; "Digital Man", "Between the Wheels", Witch Hunt", "Circumstances" etc. etc. Add this to the tracks from their newer CD's, and you have a extremely well rounded CD.
All in all, it's just another superb album from a superb band, no surprises here.
