I've played this album once...on the day it was released, and haven't touched it since. I has about an inch thick layer of dust on it on my shelf. While the music was good, it sounded just like Rush, and that disappointed me. I was really hoping that Geddy would put out somthing that was totally his own (like Alex did).

i find that this album sounds nothing at all like rush, the vocal phrasing are very different, there is a completely different guitar aspect and the bass is also fairly different its a little less driven than it has been.

Well, I haven't heard MFH yet, but Victor was sublime. It had wonderful lyrics (Including W.H. Auden's "Victor"), fantastic guitar parts (Including a collaberation with his son, Adrian), and numerous surprises (Including a cameo by Primus' Les Claypool). I'm looking foreward to hearing MFH, though.

A pattern so grand and complex
Time after time, we loose sight of the way
Our causes can't see their effects

As much as I liked MFH I think that Victor is a much much better album..

I finally downloaded this to my MP3 player and gave it a listen. Geddy without Neil and Alex is like kissing without lips. Its OK but somehow it is just not the same. :?
