It's also prompted me to go back to their music. And I'm loving it (still). Quote

HutchFan Posted December 22, 2023 Report Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Rush's final studio album from 2012. It's a slammin' HARD ROCK record, as much metal as it's prog. The band was very proud of it. They felt they'd made a record that compares favorably with their late-70s and early-80s classics. . . . And then it turned out to be their last.

Michael Chabon recently touted that Geddy Lee book, which has piqued my interest in it. Quote
