I'm a Rush fan (favorite band) from WAY back (late 70's). Unfortunately, I seem to be in the minority when I say this, but I haven't cared for their music after Signals. The last album I bought from them was Power Windows. Everything after Moving Pictures just lacked the energy and power of their earlier stuff (like Hemispheres, 2112, Permanent Waves).
So, my question is, how are their tours nowadays. Amazingly, I've never seen them live, and I wonder how much of the older stuff they play.
BTW, yes, they are the greatest band ever!

I too hope that this one will be better than TFE. It's just not as timeless as their early stuff of which I can never tire.

March 14th, 2002 - From Billboard.com:
Rush's 'Vapor Trails due out in May
Canadian power trio Rush has set a May 14 release date for its upcoming Anthem/Atlantic album, "Vapor Trails." As previously reported, the set was recorded in Toronto, with band members Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart serving as producers and longtime collaborator Paul Northfield engineering. A North American tour in support of "Vapor Trails" is expected to begin in June.
The new album, the follow-up to 1996's "Test for Echo," features 13 tracks. Opener "One Little Victory" is described by the label as "propulsive," while "Sweet Miracle" is said to be "emotive," and "How It Is" has been deemed "kinetic." A first single has not yet been announced.
"Test for Echo" was a No. 5 hit on The Billboard 200, with its title track vaulting to No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and "Half the World" reaching No. 6 on the same tally. "Different Stages," a three-CD live album spanning shows from 1978, 1994, and 1997, bowed at No. 35 on The Billboard 200 in November 1998. Lee released his Atlantic solo debut, "My Favorite Headache," in December 2000.
Here is the tracklist for "Vapor Trails":
One Little Victory
Peaceable Kingdom
Ghost Rider
Ceiling Unlimited
The Stars Look Down
How It Is
Vapor Trail
Out of the Cradle
Earthshine
Sweet Miracle
Nocturne
Freeze (Part IV of 'Fear')
Secret Touch

March 14th, 2002 - From JAM! Music:
Rush finishes recording new album
Canadian rock icons Rush have wrapped up recording sessions for their first album of new material in more than half a decade.
Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart are now mixing the still untitled album, which is scheduled to be in stores in "early spring", the band's label, Anthem/Universal, announced late Tuesday. It will be the trio's first new studio release since "Test For Echo" in September 1996.
As reported earlier, Rush's 17th studio album is being produced by the band with friend and engineer Paul Northfield, whose resume includes work with Hole and Marilyn Manson.
In a posting last fall on his official website (www.geddylee.net), Lee described the sessions as an experiment, but added that much of their time together on the project was spent getting reacquainted after a five-year hiatus.
"We have been working in an environment that allows us to keep some of the more spontaneous moments that occur during writing and blend them with a more rehearsed and typical style of production," Lee said in his message.
"It took a while for us to get to the point where we felt what we were producing was fresh enough and of the quality that we demand of ourselves."
The band had been inactive since its last performance, July 4, 1997 at Ottawa's Corel Centre, the final date in support of their "Test For Echo" album. Following that, Peart endured two tragedies: the death of his daughter in a car crash and the loss of his wife due to cancer, which triggered the group's open-ended hiatus. Peart has since remarried.
"This project is about so much more than us making a record," Lee told JAM! Senior Reporter, Paul Cantin, just after the band regrouped in a Toronto-area studio, almost exactly one year ago.
"It is about us coming back together. It is about the psychological health and welfare of all the people who have gone through a very difficult time ... I want it to happen, and I want it to happen in a very positive and natural way."

More news, some of it overlaps:
MARCH 15, 2002
RUSH REVEAL
VAPOR TRAILS
TRIO'S FIRST ALL-NEW ALBUM IN 5 YEARS DUE
MAY 14TH
"ONE LITTLE VICTORY"
HITS ROCK RADIO IN APRIL
NORTH AMERICAN TOUR PLANNED FOR
SUMMER/FALL
Anthem/Universal Music Canada
Recording Group
Rush
has announced details of their eagerly awaited new album, VAPOR TRAILS. The 13-track collection, produced by Rush with engineer Paul Northfield (Marilyn Manson, Hole), is set for release on May 14, 2002.
VAPOR TRAILS sees the legendary power trio - Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart - redefining their intensely individualistic music, blending their famously complex dynamics with driving melodic hooks and a passionate, personal lyrical approach. Tracks like the kinetic "How It Is," the emotive "Sweet Miracle," and the propulsive album-opening "One Little Victory" are angular, atmospheric and altogether extraordinary. With the visionary new VAPOR TRAILS, Rush has taken a bold step forward, making it clear that one of rock 'n' roll's all-time great bands are more than just back, they're better than ever.
The album will be heralded by the single, "One Little Victory," slated to ship to rock radio outlets nationwide on March 29 . The band is currently finalizing plans for a major North American tour. Tentatively set to kick off in late June, the trek will mark Rush's first live performances since July 1997. The tour's first leg will be announced shortly.
VAPOR TRAILS is Rush's 17th studio recording, and their first all-new collection in over 5 years. The Canadian trio's 22 albums have virtually all been certified CRIA platinum-or-better, with cumulative worldwide sales of over 35 million. The band were inducted into the Juno Awards Hall of Fame in 1994, received the esteemed Order of Canada in 1997 and were given their own star on the Canadian Walk of Fame in 1999.

The song can be found here, it is in streaming media format and was taped off the radio so it's pretty rough.

Very heavy on the drums and guitars but I can't hear much else.

OK I had to post this I want you to know that I don't feel this way, but this was said to me 2 days ago at work when listening to the radio. My coworker was commenting on how much he hates Rush, and he said Rush was the musical equivelant of a vasectomy(sp?). Now I don't feel this way, but I thought it was a coincidence that this was the first time I had seen this thread after he had said this. I am sorry if anyone was insulted, but I felt the need to post this.
P.S that is a cool cover. Back to your fun people.
