The three drum solos were shocking, totally blown away, thanks RUSH!!

Incredible setlist, so glad I did not peek. The first set was full of the obscure tunes I never thought I would hear from PoW. I did not miss the standards at all, though plenty of newbies were wondering what songs they were playing in Set 1 (a great set for completists). The addition of the strings was a great idea. The orchestra was fun to watch and really were into the tunes and rocking the cello and violins. Great to see LRF80 and a few Rushians that I've seen over the years and up front. The Rush Doctor was in the house!!!! Looking forward to Cleveland in a month and a half. It was an adrenaline RUSH. My favorites were The Anarchist and YYZ. Alex was concentrating super hard on getting the new songs right. He totally loosened up and was goofing off during Tom Sawyer. My buddy two seats over caught a T-shirt from Alex and two picks flew right by me, maybe next time. Wooooooo! P.S. Thanks to Rush fanclub pre-sale, again!

Cool, I never noticed the albums changing until today!

That's terrible news for those involved. I hope the injured recover soon and without issues. I recently heard a tune from their new album, and really grooved to it. So I ordered them all and just received the red, blue, yellow & green CD's Tuesday in the mail. I will check out the red one tonight.

Geddy's voice taken out of context and isolated in the TM album (MP only) is a bit strained. Not being there in Cleveland I can't say what the band actually sounded like from the seats, but I was at the previous show in Toledo and the one after in Detroit, he sounded fantastic within the concert halls. I am super pumped about the upcoming tour.

The Palace of Auburn Hills tickets are on their way. E-mail from MusicToday this morning. YESSSSS!!

There is no such thing as a skippable track, especially with Rush.

The Usher fansite is likely relieved they beat RUSH.

But it just wouldn't happen that way! Whatever your least favorite song is, it could be one of Alex's "top dogs" (as he said of "Good News First," which I felt was garbage). Another example: many of us agree that HYF is excellent, save for the last two songs on the album ("Tai Shan" and "High Water"). But had the band kept the CD to a shorter length, those two songs still would've made the cut and it would've been "Force Ten," which was recorded and thrown on the CD at the last minute, that we would never have heard of. See what I'm saying? If CA had been made as a double album in 1977, it would be hailed an all-time classic and worthy of two vinyls. Fact. Well said. The album is so incredible it gets two vinyls!!

Yeah, I was lucky enough to be there. That was a fun and meaningful show. Not the greatest neighborhood. Met alot of cool people in the parking lot. Wow, time flies...Bring on the tour!

There is a coupon for a free download of the album from Roadrunner Records inside LP #1, a prize inside yes. I really like the way they label each side of the album .

The intro sounds like The Knack! Love this tune and the album. 3 plays through and it gets better as I hear more of what is going on.

Got my fan pack in the mail yesterday (SE Michigan). Great packaging, and it comes with a CD in a well constructed paper CD case. Awesome liner notes. Rush on!! WOW !! What an album. Can't wait to listen to it again after work.

I'm so lucky, I am picking up my vinyl copy today after work here in SE Michigan (a special connection at an old school record store). I was getting weak and almost ready to break down and listen to the stream. I will give the album a spin tonight and report back tomorrow where the breaks are. Can't wait to see the artwork and feel the 180 gram LPs. I heard it is a gatefold cover. Who knows what surprises lurk within.

Certainly we can discuss the new album, but not liking the 3 new songs is total BS. Your opinion is wrong. GET THE HELL OFF MY FORUM YOU HATERS!!! I'm a fanboy and proud of it. Sure Rush is not perfect, but the 3 songs we have heard kick total ass. GET THE HELL OFF OF MY FORUM YOU RUSH HATING PRICKS!!! I don't need your negativity, I don't need you stupid mindless comments for the music that is Rush. GET THE HELL OFF THIS SITE YOU F'N RUSH HATERS! GET A LIFE AND GO F YOURSELF!!! GO KICK YOUR DOG, BEAT UP YOUR KIDS, DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR MISERABLE SELF AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LIFE!!! I was digging the new songs until I read this. Now, I'm going to start hating them just so I can justifiably say "fck you". F U back you G D Troll goob lover ! Good bye you loser hater trolls. Like anybody cares, I'm outta here for good. Life is better without me reading about haters hating what I love, which is Rush music. I will miss the positive conversations and the good people I have met at shows through the forum. I am truly looking forward to the new album and tour, unlike other Rush fans that spew hate just because people love Rush. Saying good bye to wasting anymore time on internet forums with just a few dumbasses and their stupid hating comments, just to get a rise from fanboys like me. Soon enough Spoilers will appear about the tour (already plenty enough about the album) and will ruining MY Rush experience, just as the Trolls have ruined this site for me, out. Life will be better without the haters. You trolls know who you are and you are no better than the fuzz on my butt. Hate on that beeyatches. Oh yeah RUSH ROCKS!

umm, I do belive this qualifies as a SPOILER!!

Live Nation perhaps? As long as I have a ticket to get in the show, I am happy.

I believe that more scalpers are abusing the system than actual Rush fans.

woo hoo 4th row Alex Floor at the Palace I love Rush Pre-Sales!! After many years of getting shut out, the last two tours have been good to me and my friends.

Just don't pass this info on to the professional scalpers that have 20 people doing what you are doing!!

http://content.theqarena.com/wp-content/uploads/rush_121028_250.jpg This is a wild drawing. I see angel wings, but can't figure out the rest... If it was a quarter to eight, I would understand. see you at the show

I will press play as Rush intended it to be. I am totally geeked for this LP. Geddy's singing on HF is otherworldly.

If I'm in the first 10 rows on the floor at the Palace, I can deal with that price, but that really limits me to one show instead of two. It will still be awesome!!
