There are few things more polarizing than the religion topic. I don't get that the lyrics for BU2B are a negative jab at belief systems. In all my years enjoying the three magician's offerings, I have rarely taken any of the lyrics literally. Great use of metaphors for stunning visual imagery is what I hear more often than not. Heaven and hell mentioned in this song need not be taken so seriously, IMHO. As wisely observed above, I feel the lyrics usually are aimed at getting us to think outside the box, and that includes interpretation of the words accompanying music.

Love Time and Motion! That heavy break reminds me so much of my favorite Rush song, Cygnus, I was floored when I first gave TFE a spin! It struck me as a "back to roots" recording. Interestingly, the release of TFE coincided with my first realt time on the Internet, since my local radio station had previewed a song from the new record. We had just connected online at work, and while searching for info about the TFE release, I stumbled onto my first 'net message board, The National Midnight Star, a Rush forum. So much about that album just coincided with events in my life at that time, the 'net (Virtuality) the above mentioned link with T&M, Test for Echo's call to fans, the art. TFE was my favorite "new" Rush album for many years....
