RUSH Snakes and Arrows DVD Live

Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to view this new concert video. The sound is incredible, they did an excellent job on the mix. The video quality is top notch. But what can I say it is Rush and that pretty much guarantees perfection every time.

I have not seen the video, although I have enjoyed Rush many times in concert. Unfortunately, I think that the music/lyric quality on Snakes and Arrows is abysmal, the worst Rush album ever!

Snakes And Arrows musically I think is something of a return to form. I find Thsalmon's comments baffling-it is far superior to Vapor Trails and is arguably their best album for decades.

I agree with Ben. Vapor Trails was, ouch, a Rick Rubin style recording made when it was popular for recordings to be "noisy." Metallic's St. Anger was similar. Rush has made some fantastic recordings and they have a wide body of work available to compare. Snakes and Arrows is not bad soundwise.

Yup I have to agree about the recording of Vapor Trails, a little to noisy for sure. Unfortunate as this is one of my favorite albums ever! Incredible writing and incredible playing. Have any of you heard Snakes and Arrows on vinyl??
