Season 9 of the supernatural series begins with the fallout from heaven's angels descending to earth. Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) suddenly find themselves living in a world that is now inhabited by thousands of powerful, angelic beings, some of whom want them dead. The brothers then embark on a journey to reopen the gates of heaven. Meanwhile, Castiel (Misha Collins) struggles to survive without his powers and embarks on living as a human; Crowley (Mark Sheppard), the King of Hell, is kidnapped by Dean in order to find demons on earth; and Abaddon (Alaina Huffman), the Knight of Hell, reappears with plans to take over hell once and for all.
Moves along nicely. Not quite as funny as past seasons, but very entertaining. Wraps up ongoing storylines and begins an intriguing new one. Is Crowley going to be a team member next year? Tune in to season 10 to find out!
One of the best live albums of all time! The live version of "In The End" is almost like going to church. The slow reverb between chords is frikkin' awesome live jams. I have had the old version of this cd since it came out but I had to buy the remaster just for "What You're Doin'" since it wasn't on the original. 'Nuff said!
What's great about it: Three piece band sounds like 6 guys.
Sounds like older stuff with a couple of nice ballad type songs too. The one thing I miss from all newer Rush is a really strong well defined solo from Alex, but this album is overall very Rush sounding. My first album/concert was 2112, so I have been a fan forever and I say it's worth the investment for sure.
What's great about it: Some good harder rockin' songs similar to older stuff.
What's not so great: Alex Lifeson has few really 70's style leads.
