It's really cool to hear Alex paying agressively again. There used to be some debate over Alex Lifeson's greatness as a guitar player, especially during the 80's When he was known for his shimmering, chorus-drenched, big chord sound. At the time I would dispel any arguments by playing the guitar solo from Natural Science off of Permanent Waves, but today, this whole album showcases what a great player he really is.
