Drumming Legend
A drum set that will now sit empty
One of the most influential drummers of all time Neil Peart of Rush at 67 after three years of battling brain cancer. I’d try to write something appropriate but I wouldn’t do better than fellow drummer Dave Grohl of Nirvana: “I still vividly remember my first listen of 2112 when I was young. It was the first time I really listened to a drummer. And since that day, music has never been the same. His power, precision, and composition was incomparable. He was called ‘The Professor’ for a reason: We all learned from him”.
“Neil Peart had the hands of God, end of story”
Album of The Week
In Our Bedroom After The War - Stars (2007)
“28 and bored, grieving over loss, sorry to be heavy
But heavy is the cost, heavy is the cost”
“Oh, how could anyone not want to rip it all apart?
Oh, how could anyone not love your cold, black heart?”
The fourth album from the band Stars, this album was intended to feel cohesive all the way through rather than just a collection of tracks as many albums end up. I think that it accomplishes that goal and each song works together extremely well. The band was so nervous that it would leak that his became on of the first ever albums to be digitally released the day after the album was completed to be fol;owed later by physical CD sales.
Best New Track: Man Who Sold The World (Changes Now Version)
“You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world”
Normalization Blues
“He’s a symptom and a weapon of the evil men who really run the show”
Mother Nature
“It’s no wonder we grow strong while you grow weak
And that’s exactly how you made us
And all your violence makes it harder to believe
And every death just leaves us faithless
Faithless in defeat”
Love Without Possession
“What would be the use in becoming
A symbol of walking desolation?”
