    A few true gems highlight an album that will otherwise be of interest primarily to Rush fans.

    I was more then impressed with this album. Geddy picked a good cast of musicians to put together a great album. I think it would make anyone want to pickup a guitar,bass or drums..or even vocals..thats my two cents.

    Since Headache doesn't go for any of Rush's extended instrumental outings or skewed dynamics, the onus is on Lee and Mink's melodies, which are generally strong and taut, building on familiar elements but adding a bit more sheen and smoothly executed changes to the mix.
