Album Review: Snakes & Arrows by Rush
Great, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 8/10
Amid all this seriousness, there is a bit of humor. The instrumental track "Malignant Narcissism" references a line in the comedic film Team America: World Police from Matt Stone and Trey Parker of South Park fame. It comes from a line in the film that reveals how terrorists think. It's one of three absolutely stunning instrumentals; another is "The Main Monkey Business," which sounds like the closest Rush have gotten to jamming in the studio in over 20 years.
Based on rating 3.5/5
Review Summary: Neil Peart and Rush make a welcome return from having one foot in the grave and sound like a band with a new lease on life and music. Oh Canada, I sing your praises. .
