Transcript: "Snakes Alive! - Classic Rock, June 2007"

Happy Birthday Snakes & Arrows! Today is the fifth anniversary of the album's release - I'm amazed at how time has flown by. Here is the album's review from the June 2007 issue of Classic Rock magazine: "Snakes Alive!" is written by none other than Geoff Barton who you might remember as a the 'Sounds' correspondent who jumped the Rush ship with the release of Hemispheres, an album he could never come to terms with. In fact, in this review for Snakes he states "...The Main Monkey Business is closest in spirit to La Villa Strangiato (the nonvocal offering on 1978's Hemispheres) with its elaborate-but-heavyweight approach." Heavyweight? Overall, however, its a very positive review, and it is nice to know Barton eventually returned to the fold.
