Rush
The new RUSH album ‘Clockwork Angels’ was released last month and METAL SHOP received a copy from our friends at Roadrunner Records. This is the band’s 19th studio album and it debuted at #2 on the Billboard USA Charts when it was released June 12th.
Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart have put together an album that has to be some of their best work. ‘Clockwork Angels’ is a return to the early sound of Rush with more heavy guitar and less synthesizer. It sounds like they stripped down all the extra sounds and equipment and just went with the basics of guitar, bass and drums.
After 30 years in the music industry, RUSH may have recaptured the magic with this new record that brought them success at their peak in the 70′s and 80′s. Maybe the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame will get their heads out of their asses and induct RUSH. You will not be disappointed with ‘Clockwork Angels’ and if you have thought about seeing them live in concert, you have your chance this year as a new tour starts in September.
