If one band has steadily walked in the footsteps of Rush, it is Tiles who with "Fly Paper" have now released their fifth studio album. The band's front man Chris Herin and his boys have once again released eight songs (nine on the Limited Edition CD) which will put a smile on the face of every fan of the Canadians. This is not to say that Tiles are a copycat band, but rather that the Americans go to great lengths to be honorable stewards of the heritage of Rush. In this task they are helped not just by the guitarist of the Canucks, Alex Lifeson, but also, in Hugh Syme, by the in-house designer of the trio. Since yet another prominent guest, wonder-voice Alannah Myles, also appears on "Fly Paper," there is no shortage of variety, which is why prog fans can rest assured and should grab the CD, in spite of a few somewhat trivial passages.
