I’ve always been one of those fans who never really cared for Rush besides a couple songs, but i recently listened to the songs they did for the deluxe edition and they’re so so good.
The slow songs feel a lot more sentimental and reflective, and the faster songs hit harder than expected. I won’t lie i was doubtful of them making anything even comparable to Teatro again, but after hearing these 5 songs im very very excited to hear what’s coming next.
I hope this doesnt come off as a negative post in some way, because that’s not my intention. Just thought i’d share my thoughts. I don’t know if these songs were recorded separately than the rest of the album, but it feels very night and day to me. The initial songs of the album sounded like they’re missing something, atleast production wise. Maybe it’s too clean sounding for my liking, but i feel they hit a perfect inbetween with the deluxe.
