tas7 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 There's a bit in the middle that sounds like the A Team theme but apart from that it's a well crafted song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caravan is the most progressive, balls out, wild, and sick tune Rush has put out in forever...Snakes and Arrows was soft rock, outside of a few songs How anyone can not like that song at this stage of their career baffles me, but I have probably typed that 100 times here...

I've had some posters on here tell me Caravan is not prog. WTF. Well it is that most prog-like thing they have done in ages. That combined with the concept piece should have evrybody thrilled.
