As a Rush fanatic I just got a copy of this lately.And I really enjoy it.And I certainly love Matt Cameron's playing on it.Anyone else have it or give it a listen? And if so what do you think of it?

I'm a huge fan of Rush. However the album lefet me a little cold. The title track is awesome; I wihs the whole album was along that vibe. Victor (Alex's "solo" album) is much better.

I actually really enjoy that album, especially Cameron's playing. I picked that up and had it signed by Geddy at an in store event he did when it first came out. He seems like a really nice cat. I find myself listening to that more often that Alex's "Victor", I really need to be in the mood(no pun intended Grin) to listen to that one.

I havent listen to either of them, I have lost my tastes for modern Rush music, It was alll good up until Vapor Trails, I can only really get into one song on that album, but i am still a hardcore Rush fanatic

Both of those solo efforts actually came before Vapor Trails and their hasn't really been anything after Vapor Trails(except the Feedback cover album, which really doesn't count). So saying everything up to Vapor Trails was good really means every album was good. Or am I just confused? Huh

Basicly saying I like all their albums EXCEPT Vapor Trails, its not horrible, It just doesnt sound like the good ole' rush anymore... Too modern for my tastes, but i love How It Is (the only song i cam get into)

I never could stomach Lee's vocal. Man, I tried. Those Rush albums are on the shelf next to my Chipmunks Sing Christmas.

Im a HUGE Rush fan, and can't get enough of their Rio DVD. Geddy's solo album, however, just didn't do it for me. I think I listened to it maybe 5 times and gave up.

I'm also a big Rush fan (since the Signals album came out) but GL's solo CD didn't do it for me either... I never got into it and found it quite boring, to be honest.

Also, I'm not a big fan of Matt Cameron's drumming even though I know he's pretty good and uses odd times a lot in his playing. I think his playing fit with Soundgarden but just doesn't do it with Pearl Jam and simple straight-ahead songs like Geddy Lee's... I really dig what he did on the Temple Of The Dog album so maybe I'm still hooked on Pearl Jam's music with Dave Krusen behind the kit (on the first album) and perhaps it's the same thing with his playing on Geddy Lee's solo CD.

I really don't miss not listening to My Favourite Headache and I don't understand the need to release such a CD...

I like Ged's solo album a lot. Grace to Grace is an awesome song.
