Quoted from www.rushisaband.com
Prog-y arena giants hit the Nineties, with mixed results.
By the Nineties, Rush had all but abandoned their synthesizers for the Zeppelin-style riffs and prog-pop melodies of their Seventies albums. This one-CD (plus bonus DVD) anthology tracks the band as it drifts from the summery, grunge-flavored anthem "Earthshine" to the acoustic-based "Nobody's Hero," a sweet, if clumsy, ode to a dead gay man and an abused woman - with occasional departures like the New Wave-ish "Roll the Bones." One thing Rush never lost: the comic-book profundity of lyrics such as "They travel in the time of the prophets" ("Dreamline"). Unless you're a Rush loyalist or a member of Coheed and Cambria, you can safely skip Retrospective III.

Harsh! "...clumsy ode to a dead gay man..."
If this is how “critics” view Rush, it’s no wonder they are not in the Hall of Fame in Cleveland!
Fortunately, most Rush fans don’t take themselves too seriously, and many are also fans of Coheed and Cambria!
