THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
RUSH...Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland (2011)
(CD, Allmusic review)
All those fabulous familiar tracks from Rush LIVE. All of the live albums released by Rush are great listening experiences. The only drawback to this album is Geddy Lee's vocals as he doesn't have the range he used to have (most of the older rockers don't) but he's Geddy Lee, he can be easily forgiven. Another great live listening experience
