ReflectedLight Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Any ideas on what Neil might write about on the next album? Being that Neil and his buddy have been motorcycling around all over the place, I think he might touch on traveling, maybe how the band has been able to stay together for a long time. Any other ideas? I can't wait to here some of the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcaressed Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I don't really have a clue where they will go from here. S&A was a very nice change (or reinvention) for the band, and I hope they continue in this vein. Constant evolution has been their defining characteristic over the years. I hope they move on and continue to develop. S&A subject matter is a bit on the cynical side, yet still fresh and inventive. It's tone is just darker and more thoughtful than other albums. (Leave it to Neil and Rush to be cynical and refreshing at the same time!) That's my $.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psionic11 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Good question, hard to tell. IMHO, Neil has mostly purged his own demons of tragedy and worthlessness while trying to retain a somewhat accessible sense of world-view. World-responsibility and awareness is an old theme of Neil's. Personally, I'd like to see him bring up these views again in global environmentalism, decaying classical ideals versus modern political agendas, and/or personal enlightenment in the face of fanatic, religious dogmatism... More science talk would be nice. So would anti-propaganda. Or even sci-fi or fantasy analogies to real-world situations. So many avenues to pursue. Time will tell, and I doubt if any of our personal posts make a difference, tho I'd like to feel otherwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psionic11 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Oh yeah... I think it's high-time for Neil to jump the Environmentalism bandwagon.
