The perfect daily read for fans looking to explore rock history one day—and one album—at a time.
Featured Rock Albums
2007
Rush
– Snakes & Arrows
Rush’s Snakes & Arrows isn’t nostalgia—it’s a thunderous, philosophical blast from three veterans still evolving. Gritty, heavy, and full of soul, it finds Lee, Lifeson, and Peart pushing forward with brains, brawn, and zero interest in coasting.
