Geddy spoke recently to Revolver magazine about Snakes and Arrows:

"It's hard to describe," said Lee. "It's big, it's bold, and I think it's some of the best work we've done in years. I'm really pleased with the quality of the songs, and there's lots of playing on it."

Turns out the making of Feedback changed their recording process a bit:

"...we played all together in the studio for a lot of the 'Feedback' stuff. That's something that a lot of producers had been pushing us to do for a while but which we hadn't done in years. It was great to turn off the click and just play — you know, not worry so much about being so, quote, metronomic — and that definitely carried over into this record."

Not much new news in it, but there's an article at Billboard.com about the new album. Pretty much sums up all that's been going on online in the last couple of weeks. Impending tour, radio release of single, and so forth.

Well, the rumors were correct: The new Rush Album, Snakes & Arrows, will be in stores May 1. There's even a small instrumental snippet of the first single, Far Cry, available at Rush.com.

I had avoided posting too rumourish, but this time the rumors turned out to be correct for a change.
