Best Rush Experience
Seeing the video "Show don't Tell" on MTV back when videos mattered. Hearing "The Pass" on the radio. Went out and bought Presto...and the whole catalog of albums. I've been a Rush fanatic ever since.

Great points. The 13...14 or so years between albums could be a tell. Obviously Jerry had serious health issues, but the years without producing anything but 473 solo projests makes you wonder if the inspiration within the "3 sides of one" still burns. Give me 50% of the awesomeness from the first two (inspired!) KXM albums...I'll be happy. Hell, give me Manic Moonlight pt.2...I love that weird period of albums

The band has talked up this new album for years now, like it's some of their best work. So far, it's a bit of a shoulder shrug from me. Even the damn album cover is a miss... I buy it day it's released either way. Fingers crossed.

hmmm... I'd definitely be down for that.

Bands You're Obsessing Over Right Now

The Tea Party. I really don't know why I haven't checked them out before. I only knew the name. -
DT have a hype machine with the metal press. King's X never got the attention they deserve from the metal press. Or is it the fact that musically King's X doesn't really have a mass appeal quality to them like Dream Theater does? I think King's X was a much harder band to market. King's X definitely has the chops for mass appeal, but they've leaned into some odd musical choices over the years. The lack of a promotion machine behind them after the Dogman era certainly is a factor.

Was Kid Gloves done live? pre-album release track?

It's amazing these guys can put out new music so frequently. Been waiting for over a decade for a new King's X album.
-
Freewill is slightly annoying and overrated. PW is still my #1 album though.
