I am not gonna listen to these new 30-second samples, but there seems to be a lot of bickering about them at the Rush forum.
And based on some of the comments, I will reiterate my biggest fear about this album: Geddy's vocals. His voice isn't nearly what it used to be, and I worry that even good vocal melodies will have too much of that double-tracked yodeling that he has resorted to at times in recent years. I hope I am wrong, but his voice is not gonna magically get younger or better again. Time will tell...
