Dude... its soooo good. My jaw was on the floor, and I already had high expectations of this album. The whole band really re-invented themselves.

Have you checked out the little stories that accompany each song in the booklet? Such a crazy concept album.... this is easily top 5 Rush albums for me. Caravan and BU2B are nuts! Seven Cities of Gold is so 70's Tony Iomi style, with that super heavy kickass riff.

I liked Snakes and Arrows... but this album is so much better, so much more unique... how many bands can you say that about their 20th LP release?

Doesn't that one require the expansion pack? Or is it just an optional graphics upgrade?

Is that a 3DS XL in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? ~ZeroAX

Maybe the dirt was left behind in the slot and you just moved it.

It's not required, cause I can play it and I don't have an expansion pak lol

I sure did, it reminds me very much of 2112. I think I might get the novelization later this year. The re-vamped Caravan & BU2B fit well with the rest of the material. I couldn't stop with SCOG either.

S&A was good but this one doesn't fall flat in any area that I know of. I can't find anything wrong with this. It was 5 long years but it was very much worth it.

:) : Found out my library has the first three Axe Cop books. Normally my library is boring and square, so I don't know what the deal is.

Smile: The Mega's tribute to Mega Man 3 came out today. Holy crap - this is even better than the Mega Man 2 album.

Frown: Got nothing. All smiles.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Speaking of jumper and expansion paks.

I remember when Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask first came out when I was in seventh grade and I wanted it so fucking bad. So I saved my allowance for the longest time and when I finally had enough money, I purchased a used copy from Blockbuster.

So I put it in my N64 and it wouldn't work. First I was like fuck, the games broken. Then I realized I needed an expansion pak to play the game. I was so furious!!! :evil:
