  "In 2009, I remember hearing a DJ say that in a recent interview with Neil Peart that the next Rush album would be something no one has heard from Rush before. That day I was already a fan of Clockwork Angels. When the album came out I felt like I was hit in the face by this sonic masterpiece and every time I listen to it, I love it more and hear more things I fall in love with. For the past 13 years it has been a rock in my listening. This is no Clorox commercial album.

  And these 3 guy fired all the cylinders for this album. Each of them show case their masterclass abilities on every track. Everyone having a moment to shine with solos. Complex arrangements and just fucking funky breakdown. The arrangements are diverse but held together.

  I just love this album so much. Some of these songs are just fucking sick and rip. I could go on and on. In the end, The Garden is a perfect ending the Rush’s career. It is such a beautiful song. And I love the ebbs and flows and I feel Alex’s solo. Just a great piece.

  I hope this album encourages you to look beyond the lighted stage of hits this band has. Their catalog is not perfect but there are so many awesome gems throughout their 40 years of recorded music." - Zach
