Canadian rock legends Rush has denied the rumours that their next studio album will be another concept album along the lines of their classic "2112." Bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee says: "We haven't even discussed our next work yet. Right now we’re all taking a well-needed break. We’re pooped and we’re not spring chickens anymore, so we do need that break."

What's Next?

I can't wait for the next Rush album. Snakes & Arrows was awesome.

Well I dunno, it could be another concept album, it just won't be along the lines of "2112." These guys are fantastic, they deserve the break.

I don't think it really matters if it's a concept album or not. Rush are a great band and if the new album is as good as Snakes & Arrows then it'll be well worth picking up.

To post #2 (Big Dave):
I don't think it really sucks that much that it won't be a concept album. There are some albums that aren't considered concept and it doesn't bother me.

As a group, most talented (and influential) trio of all time. Until they get in, I won't even think of visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. An absolute joke.

Although I would love to see a concept album from these guys, I'm just glad to see them still making music and will welcome any release. I was introduced to them through their early conceptual music and love it to this day. Also agreed on the Rn'R Hall of Fame comment above. It is a travesty that Rush has not been inducted.
