Power Windows [Remastered] - Rush

Advantages: A good combination of new and old.
Disadvantages: May not appeal to hardened fans

...was a hit around the world (with a top 40 placing in the UK) is 'The Big Money'. Blending classic Rush rock with synths it discussess the corruption in the world. Geddy Lee's voice is particularly powerful in this song as he belts out his almost mocking lyrics. The theme is continued throughout the album as Rush attempt to produce a total concept album similar to their earlier albums such as 'Caress of Steel'. <Manhatton Project> This starts of with quite a profound beat, somewhat like a military march. The guitar begins out very simple and quite. It tells the tale of the creation of the atomic bomb and how it has changed human kind forever.

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: little too expensive

...Windows 7 ultimate. This is fantastic. SO easy to use and looks great!!! I used to run vista, which we all know is awful, so i thought lets upgrade. Im incredibly glad i did. The home screen looks very clean cut and easy to use. I especially like the "hover" function where you hover your mouse over the open programs on the task bar.

Advantages: Well crafted, excellent songs, hasn't dated
Disadvantages: none that I can think of.

...This is an album by a group who are comfortable with who they are and what they create. The eight superbly crafted tracks here show how Rush can create short progressive rock tracks, full of excellent playing and intelligent lyrics without falling in to the AOR trap that other long time bands originating in progressive music seemed to do throughout the eighties. This album contains the tracks 'Grand Designs' and 'Marathon' both of which have been strong favourites of mine for several years. If you are looking for some of the more far-out prog & jazz rock then this is probably not the album for you, but if you like intelligent rock music, give it a try.... Read review
