Another update about the new album, from Alex this time:
"The whole idea of doing Moving Pictures and not sharing it, particularly in the UK, was a real concern of ours. So Ged and I will get back to writing in the new year. We'll get through the Christmas holidays and start writing through January and February. We only have two or three more songs that we feel we need for the album. So we can start reworking the material and get it in great shape. Then we'll prepare for the tour in March, finish in July, take the summer off then start work in earnest in September." - Alex Lifeson, Musicradar.com, January 10, 2011 - Thanks to John @ Cygnus-X1.net for the headsup!

Looks like Geddy's prior comment about the album not being finished til late 2011 seems right on track. Looks like Clockwork Angels may not see release til Spring 2012. Looks like they're working the 5-year mark (VT in 02, S&A in 07, and now CA in 12. I guess their 20th album won't come out til 2017? Let's hope they're alive and kicking still!). Who do they think they are, Tool?
At least we got the single last year, so I am happy about that, but it only whet my appetite more for the new album. I guess we're lucky that 2011 is going to be filled with a HUGE amount of great music so, at least for me, I'll be kept busy until the new Rush album is released.
