For almost four decades now, Rush has been a major-perhaps the major-cult band on the rock and roll landscape. Their fans have been Kamagra Soft loyally devoted since the band started playing Canadian high schools in the ’70s (they were too young to play bars when they began performing). And while their prestige has finally started to rise after years of facing critical derision, reviews for a new rock documentary about their career suggests that they’ll always be a unique band with unique fans-the kind of act that not everyone gets, but the ones who do take to heart.

“Rush: Beyond the Lighted State” scored some festival prizes earlier this year as an audience crowd pleaser. Now it is drawing favorable reviews from critics, as well, with many calling it a fair view of a rock and roll act unlike any other. CHUD (Cinematic Happenings Under Development) is one of the sites to publish a recent review of the film, noting that it’s not exactly a universal story behind Rush’s career.

The people who will enjoy this flick the most are the ones who are fans: “This isn’t an ‘Anvil! The Story of Anvil,’ where anyone can watch it and fall in love with the story and members of the band regardless of how they feel about the music, this film as oddly niche as Rush itself. Fans will undoubtedly get the most out of it as it contains everything you could possibly want to know about the band, but everyone else’s enjoyment will be dependent on how much they appreciate the music.”

That’s a fair criticism to make. Or is it even a criticism? It may just be the plain truth: This is a band that wrote heady ballads about warriors and legendary journeys, sci-fi and libertarianism. They were always much more intellectual (and some critics would say navel-gazing) then other rock acts, which people like Gene Simmons of KISS could attest to. In the new film, he reminisces about touring with Rush in the ’70s, and being flummoxed when the band would go back to read or watch TV after shows rather than plunge into the hedonistic, groupie-laden parties Simmons was used to.

The CHUD review points out that the band is a bunch of “self-confessed dorks,” and that’s a pretty important bit to remember. While many critics have thrown darts at Rush before, claiming they’re far too self-serious, band No prescription cialis members hardly seem to take themselves seriously in this inside look of how the band works. The doc shows you the people behind the music who are rock fans before they’re rock gods-and they would probably shrink from being called gods of any sort.

This is a special time for Rush, who are heading back out on tour this summer, set to perform their entire 1981 album “Moving Pictures” on stage, plus a few new tracks if you’re lucky. Want to see Geddy, Neil and Alex rock out? Get yourself some Rush tickets online.
