Rush in 5.1 surround

Caress of Steel was always a very hit and miss album for me. I always loved Bastille Day and Lakeside Park - both amazing early Rush songs. The side long Fountain of Lamneth took about 20 years to grow on me, but now I love it.

Alas, I still think I Think I'm Going Bald is just too dumb to listen to. I know it's tongue and cheek, but I just can't listen to it. Similarly, the narration parts of The Necromancer ruin that song for me too. Still, almost 30 minutes of vintage Rush. It wouldn't be until 1987 that they put out another song I didn't like (High Water and Tai Shan if you must know).

SOULGOOBER,

Hold Your Fire came out when I was in college. I remember saying to myself "How much keyboards are these guys going to use"?....I do think it is some of Neil's best writing...

That was definitely the apex of keyboard use on HYF. After that they started scaling it back more and more dramatically until they were almost non-existent. I really missed the keyboard era, but mostly because I didn't think they made great albums anymore after that with the exception of Counterparts (1993) and the even better Snakes & Arrows (2007).

The new Rush album Snakes And Arrows is their best album in over 20 years,imho.

Can anyone comment on Exit Stage Left 5.1 DVD that was issued this year?
