I think both songs stand up well on their own, and being of the mp3 variety, they aren't aurally displeasing to my ears.
I think they lack a little bit of the dynamics of S&A, but I just wondering if it's the compressed sounding nature of the medium...CD release will tell, bit I don't feel like they are as badly produced as Vapour Trails was...(did anyone ever remix that bugger??)
I would really like to hear them in context with the entire album....I've never really judged Rush songs on their individual merit, but would rather hear them in context of the entire album since I am an ancient album fan as opposed to a single fan....and also reading that these are "singles" IS there an album version that differs?
Looking forward to more music! (soon!!!!) But I give it
