Review: Rush - Working Men


I love Rush. I really do. They're the only band of their distinct brand of progressive rock. Unique in their own right, it would seem, up until now, that any release by Rush would at least hold some merit. But upon listening to Working Men, the new live release from the trio, I'm not so sure.
 
Musically speaking, every recording featured on Working Men is absolutely on point. From the excellent opening with “Limelight” to the incredible closing “YYZ”, not a lot can be said other than Rush know exactly what they're doing. Geddy Lee never falters in any respect, Neil Peart continues to prove exactly why he is one of the most revered drummers on the planet, and Alex Lifeson's work still gives me a reason to believe that he is one of the most underrated guitarists today. It would seem that they actually improve as they age, a characteristic only few bands can really claim.
