Rush Merilis Single Yang Menjanjikan

Jreng!

Seru juga nih, Rush baru aja merilis single terbaru bertajuk “Headlong Flight” yang menurut saya secara musikalitas menjanjikan. Tentu, bukan era Moving Pictures atau Hemisphere ya …. Era Snakes and Arrows gitu. Sekali denger langsung mak BLENG suka … Saya ulang beberapa kali, kok enak ya? Coba deh.

Semoga full albumnya bener2 keren ….

Salam,

 First off, I do enjoy this new single by Rush regardless this can be said not their best effort throughout their music career. Reviewing this single, of course I am not going to factor their ages as musicians but I’d rather compare it objectively as the composition is made by youngsters. For sure Rush music has changed dramatically since Test of Echo or even before that. This kind of music of this single is something similar in style with Snake and Arrows album. The composition is not bad at all as it has quite good tagline melody through Geddy Lee’s unique vocal line. The structure is quite straightforward from start to end even though it’s not boring at all for my taste – in fact, when the single finishes, I tend to replay it. It’s I think because I like the opening basslines by Geddy Lee and secondly I like the consistent voice of Geddy Lee. Alex Lifeson also provides his stunning guitar solo during interlude. Of course you cannot compare with his stunning guitar solo and riffs on classic track like La Villa Strangiato. Yeah, this is different kind of style that is not apple to apple to compare. Neil Peart jaw dropping drum work is still here – he plays dynamically, really. Well, considering the ages of members of Rush, this track is quite rockin’, really.

There is basically little changes of mood and styles over the duration of the song. But, I do enjoy Geddy Lee’s bass guitar work throughout the passages of the song. Yes, there are some breaks in the song but they band maintain the overall style intact. Oh man …again… I really enjoy the guitar solo in the middle of the song – it’s not that long really …. I want some more! Composition-wise, as it’s quite straight forward structurally, there is no question that matters which relate to the structural integrity of the song – yeah, it’s there!

Overall, it’s really a kicking song and it’s rockin’! Salute to Rush!!!!

On personal level, having released this single, Rush is definitely planning to release a new full-fletched album. Having observed Yes, Dream Theater and many rock bands (Iron Maiden for example) have played in my country, I do hope that Rush will do Asia tour as well – so that they would play in Jakarta, Indonesia sometimes next year? Keep on proggin’ …!

Peace on earth and mercy mild – GW
