Production

In January 2006, Lifeson and Lee convened in a home studio in Toronto and began the writing process through unfocused jamming, while Peart wrote preliminary lyrics while in California. Peart has stated the lyrical theme of the album will be based on his personal reflections on faith, inspired by his many motorcycle journeys through the United States. In March, all three came together in Quebec and listened to rough recordings of the six songs they had written so far. Pleased by what they heard, they decided to polish them in a small studio in Toronto later in May with additional songs to follow in September.

The production promises to be much better than their last studio album of new material, Vapor Trails, which had very poor sound quality, thus drawing the ire of many long time fans.

American producer Raskulinecz, famous for his previous work with the Foo Fighters, was hired in September and has reportedly pushed the band's talent to the limit by suggesting complex bass and drum lines. Also, he made use of vintage microphones for the drums along with the studio acoustics. Raskulinecz claims the album will have a similar feel and sound to Rush's albums of the late 70's, such as 2112, A Farewell to Kings, and Hemispheres.^[2] In November, the band members moved to Allaire Studios in New York to record the bulk of the material; however, refinement and finalization of the arrangements was also done in Toronto at the band's home studio. According to the band, a total of eleven songs had been written at this point, including an instrumental piece. Completion of the final mix is projected for early 2007.^[3] Foo Fighters are a rock group formed by musician Dave Grohl in 1995. ...
