There's a wonderful sense of fatalism that runs through the whole album which closely matches the way I'm feeling at the moment.
I'm really sorry you're going through this, Slaine.
One should never, NEVER, never, be sorry for a Rush album
IMHO, the boys are really breaking new and strange ground with this album. "Malignant Narcisism" has joined "La Villa Strangiato" and "Limbo" as their best instrumentals.
Can't get enough of this album...faves="We Hold On," "Bravest Face," oh, and "Far Cry" kicks some bootay as well.

First thing: I no longer serve up the sand flea suffles. I've seen the light and no longer condone insect gourmet. I'm now into squirrels...mmmmm, squirrel legs flambet
Second thing: My kids' favorite song seems to be "Golden Bowl." I was rather entertained by the fact the song is written in pantoum form. We had to write pantoums in one of my creative writing classes. I wrote several of them, some were near-publishable quality, wonder where they are The form, if I remember correctly, was a kind of courtly, minstrel form in Malasian courts. It's a pretty old form, several hundred years old. Fun stuff, and not as challenging as a sestina.

Long time no see hope your well and very happy to see you once again my old friend
When evil is allowed to compete with good, evil has an emotional populist appeal that wins out unless good men & women stand as a vanguard against abuse.
