<p>Let's see what we've got here:</p>
<p></p>
<p>Rush - An epic track here that seems to be a Rush fanatic favorite. But honestly, it doesn't do that much for me. I do prefer the second half of the song to the first half. Maybe it just doesn't resonate with me because it never snows around here and nobody here has a snow dog.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Maiden - I like this one. Maiden is one of those bands that I didn't give the time of day in the 80's. But I do regret that. They are a band that I…</p>

<p></p>
<p>Maiden - I like this one. Maiden is one of those bands that I didn't give the time of day in the 80's. But I do regret that. They are a band that I wish I had spent more time with during my formative years (along with UFO and Blue Oyster Cult). This song is just terrific all around.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Dream Theater - Killer song. One of the better overall tracks that I've heard by DT. I have this but have never listened to it.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Porcupine Tree - Best song here, hands down. Not just because it's the shortest either. Just a cool song. If his solo output was this heavy I bet I'd like it more. Just sayin'.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I own three of the four you featured. If I ranked the songs:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1. PT</p>
<p>2. Maiden</p>
<p>3. DT</p>
<p>4. Rush</p> Good one Nielstag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2015-03-12:6060463:Comment:1149992015-03-12T13:46:52.022ZRJhog (Admin)http://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/JeffHogland

<p>The next time, wilson releases an album, you will claim, that this one was much better. Do we really have to go through this each and every time?</p>
<p>A couple of years ago, you couldn't even spell to R-a-v-e-n, without dozing off, and suddently you say that Raven is actually a fine album <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/></p>

<p>I'm gonna petition Wilson, the constantly evolving and growing artist, to write an album about a flea that keeps biting a dude on the nuts and see if he can make a number one concept album out of that.</p>

Well, personally I don't give a rat's ass (is it okay to "say" that), which album ends up as CRB's album of the year. I never "followed the mases", and prefer to know by myself, that my taste in music, is the right one. Sometimes a no. 1 is the right one, like last year, but usually it's not.<br />
<br />
But I am glad to see, that Scott and Jon agrees with me regarding this release.<br />
<br />
I like the latest RUSH-album, but still I did not have it as my no. 1 in 2013, or whenever it was.<br />

I hope, there will be a better album released this year, but I strongly doubt it. If it was released last year, imo it would had been a better release ( and it is) than Ghost and North Atlantic Oscilliation ( my no. 1 of 2014).

<p>I don't at all disagree that he's a fine musician. But I don't think this is the best album of the year, even to this point. Not for me. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I wish Rush would release a brand new album this year. It would be funny to see folks have to choose between Rush and SW. We know it won't happen, but it would be entertaining for me.</p>
