Review: Rush Single "Far Cry"
Canadian power trio Rush has a new album, Snakes and Arrows, coming out May 1. They released the single "Far Cry" this week. I downloaded it from the iTunes Music Store for 99 cents, but you can listen to the entire song for free on Rush's website. It's climbed to number 13 on the charts right now, which is pretty impressive for a band that has not ever seen (or looked for) radio play.
I really like the song. It sounds almost like a mash up of various styles of their's, some parts of the song harkening all the way back to their 70s days, especially the bass heavy intro. Overall it seems to be a continuation of the style they've been working with from their last three studio efforts (1993, 1997, 2002).
Overall, this song really makes me want to hear the album, and it's a good mainstream rock song. Give it a listen on the website for free!
