Not bad for an album that had been "leaked" on to the net.

I guess it didn`t make that much difference.

Great band, very good album.

RUSH's 18th studio album, "Snakes & Arrows", debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart with sales of 93,000 copies in the US it's first week. The disc has been acclaimed as one of the Canadian trio's best efforts in years, and bassist/singer Geddy Lee said he thinks the band put out a much more energetic CD this time. "I think the performances are much more spirited," he told Launch. "There's no cobwebs anywhere. It's, if something was stilted or something was sterile in any way, than we would change the way we approached. And I hear that. I hear that in the tracks. It feels like a band playing to me, and we're all on the same page in terms of that performance."

"Snakes & Arrows" is the first collection of all-new RUSH material since 2002's "Vapor Trails" and the 27th RUSH release to make the Billboard album chart. The band's chart peak was in 1993, when "Counterparts" debuted at No. 2.

An enhanced version of "Snakes & Arrows" will be released on MVI disc on June 5. It will come with high-resolution audio, 5.1 Surround Sound, and a 43-minute documentary on the making of the album, titled "Rush: The Game Of Snakes & Arrows".

RUSH will begin a North American tour in support of "Snakes & Arrows" on June 13 in Atlanta, wrapping up on September 22 in Toronto, Canada.

the performances are much more spirited

From what I've heard it sounds like elevator music compared to VT...

Not in the least... check it out.

It's not as aggressive as VT sonically, what with the liberal use of acoustic guitars and all, but it's no less impassioned.
