What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (digital)



Seventh album by the Canadian rockers, hitting #4 in the US, and marking a transition from the harder sound to be more radio friendly. Of course that would lead to the sell-out charges, which any band that finds success faces. They were probably really upset while they were cashing those royalty checks. Personaly I don't find the album much different than Hemispheres. I found Geddy Lee's vocals a little less grating, which I think is what made it appear to be more radio accessible.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Freewill

Best Track - Entre Nous

We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No-one else has read.
Even joined in bonds of love,
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads.

We are planets to each other,
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse.
Each of us a world apart,
Alone and yet together,
Like two passing ships.

Chorus
Just between us,
I think it's time for us to recognize
The differences we sometimes fear to show.
Just between us,
I think it's time for us to realize
The spaces in between
Leave room for you and I to grow.

We are strangers to each other,
Full of sliding panels,
An illusion show.
Acting well-rehearsed routines
Or playing from the heart?
It's hard for one to know.

Chorus

We are islands to each other,
Building hopeful bridges
On a troubled sea.
Some are burned or swept away,
Some we would not choose,
But we're not always free.
