A commute devoted to the new Rush album.
I think the latter half is better, as it looks to have more variety, but this is a strong album.
The first track is an excellent opener, but then the next three tracks pass by in a maelstrom of guitar washes and too many lyrics. Spindrift marks the turning point for me. Here on in, there are instrumentals, acoustic guitar, soaring bass runs, guitar solos and an amalgamation of past Rush trademarks...
Still at 8/10, although it deserves one more listen before my final verdict.
The Marillion CD, 'Somewhere Else', has unfortunately dropped from 7/10 to about 6 - 6.5 in my estimation.
The new Samadhisound (David Sylvian etc.) Podcast has just been released and I'll give it a listen on the way home...
