I have it, and I listen to it very much. However, I have yet to warm to it like I have in the past to other Rush albums. It's got great songs on it. I immediately latched onto "Far Cry", and I always listen closely to the last song on any Rush album, because, of course, it's the "last" song. In this case, "We Hold On", which is the other song I really like.
I like the instrumentals. I tend to see "The Main Monkey Business" as the song they'll do just before the drum solo. (Catch the final drum beat at the end and you'll know what I mean.) "Hope" could be something Alex would do afterwards. "Malignant Narcissism" has the feel of "YYZ" to it.
"Working Them Angels" has lyrics that coincide with "Traveling Music", Neil's third book. The other vocal tracks are pretty good, but not the greatest things I have ever heard. But still, overall, a new Rush album means another tour, and that's always a good thing.

Snakes and Arrows sounds like a good album to listen to. I hope it's more like their 80s albums.
A lot of Rush's newer songs are like those on Vapor Trails. More heavier sounds.

I just got it the other day. It's no 2112 or anything like that, but it's still pretty good. It's got a very laid-back feel, with a lot of acoustic parts and generally alow to mid-paced songs. My favorite track on it is an instrumental called "Malignant Narcicissm." The bass in that song is really good. The album is good overall, and I'll probably listen to it every now and then, but it doesn't really stand out that much.

I have heard a couple tunes, I'm not wild about their latest stuff. I tuned out around Presto.

It's pretty good. As a huge fan, I'd say its good. Far Cry is obviously the best received song. I like it. Yeah, it's not the same as the old Rush, but its cool.

I've only heard one song from this album and I liked it. It sounded a little different than what we're used to hearing from Rush but still the same great stuff.
