Rush- Clockwork Angels

After a five year hiatus from studio recording, rock legends Rush return with the June 12, 2012 release of "Clock Work Angels". Lead guitarist Alex Lifeson, bass and vocalist Geddy Lee, and drummer/lyricist Neil Peart take a whole new approach to the futuristic rock that they represent and add a heavy metal mood to it. The first track of the album, Caravan, sets the whole mood for the album with the lyrics “I can’t stop thinking big,” showing Rush’s constant evolution through the genre of rock. Songs like “The Wreckers” and “The Anarchist” bring listeners back to the classic feel of their early hits “Tom Sawyer” and “2112”, while “Headlong Flight” and “Clockwork Angels,” provides a whole new style to the 2010 Legends of Live winners.

Neil Peart's lyrics are brilliant, all dealing in how a man follows his dreams. The instrumental aspects of the album are genius, with everyone clicking together and forming a singular sound instead of a battle between instruments for control.

 “Clockwork Angels” hit the Billboard 200 at number two, matching their previous billboard record, and shows that Rush’s new style of rock is definitely worth checking out.
