For years I read & heard people banging on about how fantastic it is, I really thought I was missing out on something great. I've picked it up in record shops before now and nearly bought it, but then something else has caught my eye & I've put it back, but in this modern age I finally got round to 'ahem' auditioning it....OMFG what a load of shiiite

I was really disappointed, I *really* wanted to like it, I even gave it the benefit of the doubt and listened to it a few times, but no - its not for me...

Anybody else agree or am I the only one? (pleeease don't tell me I'm the only one)

Now.... RUSH....there's a different story.... I am a Rush ***** and would follow them to the ends of the earth ..... 6,000 tracks on my iPod and 90% of the time its a rush track playing (followed by 9% Seal then .9% Aqua and Barbie Girl )

I was at Rush's recent 30th anniversary tour (Manchester MEN arena) centre stage 3rd row!!!!!!! I could have touched all three of em and in fact my mate stood next to me got one of Alex Lifeson's plectrums right between the eyes when he flicked it into the audience Never mind hairs standing on the back of my neck.... I couldn't hear properly for 3 weeks after that
