Snakes & Arrows is one of the tightest conceptual records the band has ever released.
-
A return to their former glory days, Snakes and Arrows shows this seminal prog rock band reclaiming some of the sonic territory that they'd lost over the past few years.
-
BillboardMost of the proceedings are fairly clean-cut and midtempo, with guitars only intermittently attaining heavy density. [5 May 2007]
-
In typical Rush fashion the compositions tend to feel coldly scientific or laboriously calculated.... Nevertheless, it's a solid record.
-
Rush has delivered what is arguably their best work since 1990’s Presto.
-
If you're a Rush fan, add two stars; if not, subtract two.
-
Meet the new Rush, same as the old Rush....and as it turns out after all these years that's a pretty good thing.
-
"Snakes & Arrows" is several steps ahead of more recent efforts.
-
Unfortunately, too much of Snakes and Arrows is dominated by mid-tempo, lumbering behemoths.
