This an interesting little cd we have here. Members of various Rush tribute bands formed this "super group" of cover artists. They seem to have picked Rush fan favorite tracks to cover and do a nice job replicating the originals. The highlights probably are Limelight and The Trees, these two selections seems to have a little extra kick to them. The vocalist for the group sounds like a cross beteween Geddy Lee and the lead singer from the band Queensryche and does a good job hitting all the signature Geddy vocal high spots. All in all not a bad cd if your a fan of Rush it's a good variation on songs you've heard the original versions of probably 100 times already.

It's my fault of course but WHY is this atrocity in the actual RUSH section of the store? This is Karaoke music at best. When I bought this, I thought it might be various artists or some sort of interpretation of the songs but it's a mediocre bar band. I should have taken my 13 dollars and ate it. This was a bad idea. The only difference in the versions is that one band is untalented. The singer DOES NOT sound at all like Geoff Tate of Queensryche or Geddy but more like someone from a bad 80's metal band. This is shameful and an utter waste of money. I want an apology from whoever distributed this nonsense. Unless you are related to someone in "Run for Cover(s)" stay the hell away from this tomfoolery. Oh, and the production sucks. I apologize on behalf of Rush and anyone that accidentally purchased this.
