    I *bleep*ing love this album- sweet.


    If only there was a keyboard peripheral included, I would rock out the synth on Tom Sawyer.


    This is going to be one hell of a difficult album though- Neil Peart, Getty Lee, and Alex Lifeson are seriously talented musicians. I can only imagine what the solos are going to look like- and forget the vocals. Even Getty Lee has trouble getting his voice that high today. XD

      Won't be worse than Petrucci's solo on constant motion. In fact there really are only a few other musicians that would be harder. If they put Michael Angelo Batio on, I'm going to quit.

        They better release Michael Angelo Batio's double sided guitar peripheral just for that some of his shreds they could add to Rock Band would be sweet doing double tap on both necks.

    *faints falls over hits head on desk and blacks out for 5 hours*

    It is a dream come true. I have been agonizing over more Rush songs in Rock Band. With The Trees coming with RB2 and all these playable in RB2 my choice is sealed. Guitar Hero be damned.

    And Tom Sawyer on Rock Band sucks. It is a Cover and the singer sounds nothing like Geddy Lee. The vocals are literally awful, so bad that as a Rush fan I couldn't even bear to listen to it more than once. Which is extremely disappointing since I literally bought the game entirely for that song. Limelight had a release as a cover as well but at least the vocals are tolerable. Thankfully I was right when I hoped they would release Rush DLC. Now I'm a happy Rush fan because I get to pretend to be all three of them.

    i bet the rush tracks are the ones where you think you're good at the game until you play them.

      Nah, they are tough but doable. STP's Vaseline is the only track I can't manage on the guitar.

      Especially the drums... I mean seriously, Neil *bleep*ing Peart!? Who can emulate that on the RB drumset?
