| Rush Still Rocks the House
Rush has been one of those amazing examples of a rock band that doesn't follow trends in order to sell records. Clockwork Angels shows that even after almost 40 years Rush is still going where they want, instead of where they should. Or at least where everybody else thought they should have gone. Considering everything that Neil, Alex & Geddy have been through over the almost 40 yrs they have been making music together, it speaks volumes that they are still friends, still playing, and most impressively, still making fantastic music. Unlike some bands from the '70s that haven't written or recorded anything new in 25-30 yrs but still tour the county-fair circuit playing their old "classic rock" catalog, Rush is touring behind their 20th (I think) original studio record. With the notable exception of the FEEDBACK record - released to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original RUSH record from 1974 - Rush has always written, produced and recorded only original compositions. Clockwork Angels shows, once again, why Rolling Stone Magazine and the rest of the "Lame-Stream" rock media are idiots. The best that RS could do is a quick little review in the July 5-19, 2012 issue #1160/1161. On page 103, reviewer Jon Dolan says, "...Neil Peart's dragon-tailed para-diddles and Alex Lifeson's helix solos make the koanic hokum of Peart's lyrics feel like a sermon from the peak of Mount Nerd." Koanic hokum? Couldn't it just be said that this is a good record and if you like the music of, say, for instance, Nickelback, and aren't all that familiar with Rush besides 2112 or "Tom Sawyer", you might want to give this CD a listen. You'll find that this isn't your father's RUSH.,

| Pride In The Name Of RUSH
Been a Rush fan forever, still play their old stuff on my guitar. This album more than any other makes me proud to be a Rush fan. It's a big proggy story and the music and playing are awesome. As stated the more you listen the more is revealed, there is so much going on here. It's so dense in fact that the initial listen can be overwhelming and you can't grok it all so some may pass it off but true fans will be rewarded. And if you are new to Rush prepare to be blown away by this "power trio".

| Awesome
It's great when a band gets along with each other and they enjoy making music. This is reflected & obvious through out the album. Clockwork Angles & Wish Them Well" are two of my favorite tracks on this CD. Well worth checking out.

| Living long and prospering!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with all the reviews before me and vote that RUSH is probably my all time favorite Progressive Rock band for all time. They have endured and changed with the times and in most cases pioneered the way for all....
