Look at the price of this app and remember that it has 36 great Rush songs embedded in it (I counted them); do the math! I love how each song has background information on it. Also the user interface is pretty cool, and looks great on the iPad. Besides the music, the "cool stuff" and news sections are a bit limited...but this app cant be beat at this price for Rush fans. I just plug my iPad into the stereo and let it play through some of the greatest tracks of all time.
I really hope Rush does more apps like this -- or it would be cool if they added more content as in-app purchases. Maybe behind the scenes videos and interviews? Or maybe use that great Rush creativity and build some music-making toys into it. Neil drum machine? Alex riff mixer?
Like most of you, I listen to most of my music digitally these days -- and I find I miss the album backs/liner notes. This app has a little bit of that; but I can imagine something a lot bigger. It would be cool to see an iPod/iPad app that would kind of serve as a replacement for all those great liner notes and background info. Imagine a kind of "Rush Encyclopedia" iPad app. That would be something great to browse through while listening. Also; wouldnt it be cool to see some of the concert produced backdrop videos playing while the songs play? Rushs team does such a great job producing those; and so many fans never get to see them.
