Haha, thats my friend I mentioned a couple weeks ago. I happen to find this review amusing. Come on that last line is hilarious - especially that part about "Mount Nerd". I am more concerned with his positive reviews of Bieber and Mayer.

Wow, that's a hell of a last sentence. And, really - "gnomic turgidity"?
I bet if you asked Dolan, he'd say it was a satire on hifalutin' prog rock lyrics. After the fact, of course.
I like the new record (the first Rush studio album I've bought in 22 years), but haven't had a chance to really dig deeply into it.
I also have to say I have no patience for reviews that sound two-faced. He says it's "very good" in the first sentence, but it seems pretty clear to me he doesn't like it. How much of that is the writer and how much is Rolling Stone's double standard (though I find it hard to believe they feel the need to suck up to Rush) I don't know. Nose, I'd be curious to know how much editorial interference your friend comes up against.

This is clearly an example of what the French would call *de trop.*
(With all due respect to Nose's buddy. . .)
I'm not French, though.
