Awsome, I just started listening to it and I really like it. I am a Rush fan and has been since their first album. So far, excellent album.. new guitar sounds, less "commercial" on some tunes.. I've got my tickets to see them in Ottawa in September.. that will be my 6th time, at least..that I see them live.

A little SRV again tonight, "Texas Flood" on Pandora! Man, it sounds sooooo good while I cruise the Axiom forums on my 130" screen.

This cd really grows on you after the first listen. I have listened to it three times now. Twice on my Ipod while at the gym and once at home. Besides the sonic bliss of the Axioms, a good set of headphones would definitely be in order for this cd. I can imagine some of these new songs are going to be awesome in concert (especially the instrumental songs). You are lucky to be seeing them in Ottawa. Rush have blown off Vancouver again on a concert tour. I am trying to convince my wife to see them in Las Vegas this summer!

The mix on the new cd is very good. Geddy Lee's voice sounds great. Much better than the Rush in Rio and R30 cd's. Neil Peart's drums have a real live sound. I read on their website that his latest kit was another custom built set trying to achieve a different sound. The guitar playing is everthing from rock to blues with some really nice acoustic pieces. My favorite song is the instrumental "The Main Monkey Business". If you are a true Rush fan I think you will really enjoy this cd. Cheers, Shaun

Matt and Kim's self-titled CD
I didn't get into it the first time, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it.

Okay, I'm tired of Matt and Kim. Ha ha. Not entirely, but I think I've had my fill for a little while. I like the song that automatically plays on Rachel Mayfield's site. I ordered her CD earlier this week, so hopefully I can get into the rest. Kind of expensive for the CD since it's coming from the UK and the US dollar is kind of weak right now, but I hate paying for compressed downloadable tracks.

Vivaldi - Four Seasons, thanks to a recommendation from JohnK. Maybe it's just this conductors twist on things, but I never knew there was a harpsichord as a forward instrument, particularly in Summer. OR... Maybe it's just these Axioms Scott
