Ok, this had to happen sooner or later. With me, there's going to be a Rush song posted at some point. And since they released a new single this week, I figured now is that time. Steven Colbert asked Rush "Have you ever written a song so long that, by the end of it, you were influenced by yourselves?" It seems that is coming true in a way. The new single "Headlong Flight" is very reminiscent of Rush's second and third albums except for the fact that Geddy Lee is not screeching. It is very heavy, there are a lot of drum fills and a lot of musical dynamics going on. (Colbert also asked the band, noting that they have the most consecutive platinum albums behind only the Beatles and U2 but had not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, if they were going to call their next album "That's Bullshit." Alas, the new album is called "Clockwork Angels" and will drop in June) Video says it's the "official lyric video," but I don't think it is. Still, it's a good fan-made video. Just listen to it once, that's all I ask.
