how can 3 guys make so much noise?!

For Rush fans, and those who have a surround system,  2112 blu ray audio Hi-Res is a great disc. Additional animation plays along with the songs and sound quality is great. Fun listen in 5.1 or greater

Great topic, I’m a big fan up until moving pictures. I have tried very hard to like their newer stuff and didn’t know why I could not accept it. The balance is different Then I realized as I was listening recently. Geddi’s voice changed, he started to sing in a lower octave. This changed the sound of the band that I new and what impacted me when I was 14 and first heard Caress of Steel. You need that upper octave in the sound triangle, otherwise everything is low.
Having said that, my most played Rush albums are :

2112
Hemiapheres
Caress of steel

But I own all their documentaries on video and their concert in Rio, I’m just stuck in the original Rush sound.
I feel the same way about pink Floyd, Toto and journey.

2112
Permanent Waves
Snakes and Arrows

Pedro.

You ate absolutely correct that as Geddy got older he could not manage the same notes and range as earlier life, old age sucks....lol.

This obviously has a big impact on the overall tone of their later music but also very likely on even the way they would compose later music too.

When you find limitations you tend to work around them as best you can.

Same happened to Ozzy, on the Black Sabbath farewell tour they were limited to playing songs Oz could manage to hit the notes on.
