Rush’s gitarrist Alex Lifeson blickar framåt när det kommer till bandets musik men är sorgsen över att album inte längre är det primära musikformatet.
Lifeson säger, ”We grew up with albums, and for us, the album was always the thing. We’ve never been a singles band. We’ve released singles, sure, and we’ve had some moderate success with some, but we’ve never been that kind of band. So yes, I’m sorry to see the album and everything it represented go. It was like a book, and now you’re buying chapters that don’t always relate to the whole book.”
Lifeson tyckte det var kul att släppa några av låtarna från senaste albumet Clockwork Angels som teasers, han säger, “It got us thinking that in the future we might record two or three songs and release them every six months. But for now, especially with a project this size, an album was the only way to go.”
