With all the shit that's spewing out of the record companies today, Rush's new stuff is a shelter from the crap.

I just bought the album. This song is amazing, as is the rest of the album. There are a few instrumentals and the songs are pretty long, but they've demonstrated that that's not always a bad thing. I'd definitely recommend picking this one up.

The world is nothing like we thought it would turn out to be... just when you think thigs are gonna be okay and everything's fine, all of a sudden - BAM! things fall apart again. It's a vicious cycle. Bi-polar disorder? Interesting observation! I can see that as a possible meaning. Good catch.

They still freekin got it. I know that alot of this album has to do with releigous veiws and war in the middle east from a recent interview with Neil, but musicly speaking, these guys know how to rock like no other band. Thats why there the best and to record the whole album in only 30 days....damn

Great song. I think it is about how separated and warring the world is (Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues), and about how we are trying to progress too fast but seemingly getting nowhere (One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel And the next it's rollin' over me), sharing some views with literary artist Ray Bradbury.

Snakes & Arrows is the best Rush album ever!
