On the other hand, if I had to say there were weak spots...The Larger Bowl and Good News First. Everything else is good.

For me that is what has been missing from their last two or three albums, as it gives more space for the vocals and more texture to the overall sound. What's more, the production on the album is soooo crystal clear you can turn up the volume and rock out to it without feeling like your eardrums are being assaulted.

I can't argue with good logic about why things are the way they are. You know, listening to some radio interviews with Alex and Geddy have given me an understanding of why the acoustics have actually benefited the production of the album. If they are necessary, then I'm absolutely all for it. I guess what I'm saying is that I really enjoy Alex when he's really mashing out. He's such a great MUSICIAN rather than just a great guitarist. Need I say anything about Ged and Neil?
I'm 100% with you about audio clarity. Well produced, mixed, and very clear! My speakers don't dwarf this time around

Man, It seems like no one likes this song but I LOVE it. The part that does it for me is the break in the middle when the bass really stands out with the strumming acoustic guitar. (Right when he starts singing "Some may say they never fear a thing, but I do). That whole sections gives me the chills. The bass sounds like he doubled up his bass guitar with some synth bass as well. Nice lines through this part.
