This is basically another helping of the more "synth-heavy" that Rush did on Moving Pictures, and is that a bad thing?

What da dog doin

I’ve listened to this album a couple of times to try and fully wrap my head around it. It’s good, that’s for certain, but nothing on this album absolutely floors me. I kinda had high expectations with it being a new wave/prog album, but most of these songs sound same-ish past the first 2. Rush does this style and sound very well, but it could use a bit more diversity to me.
