Having 3 instrumentals goes against what Neil wrote in his update back in December on having ONE "mental instrumental". I also remember Alex saying something to the effect of this album being "musically and lyrically expansive". I think it's a great idea, having 3 instrumentals, but it goes against what we've heard- unless of course they tacked the other 2 instrumentals on at the end of recording to be spontaneous. I always enjoy rumors like this though...

I have a soft spot for Tai Shan. I like that song. High Water starts off interesting and is a murky musical exploration. I don't hate the song, but I don't love it either. But Rush wouldn't be Rush if they allowed some room for a weird tangent on their albums. The new CD WILL be filler free! and a very cohesive album is my prediction. Mix that sumbitch already!
