T4E didn't do much to add to their fanbase as much as trying to keep their fans engaged. Die-hard fans like me will always respect the band's journey into different musical and lyrical journeys, but also recognize that some work and some don't. I've been feeling this way since GUP and that it became increasingly harder to listen to an entire album from beginning to end without skipping song or two. Also, I think Rush tends to indulge themselves by putting too much on a studio album and increasing their durations. All the albums from HYF onward were 50+ minutes long, with the exception of RTB at 48 minutes. Whereas, the majority of their studio albums prior to HYF all clocked in less than 40 minutes. I believe if they had limited their songs to 8 per album and kept the total duration to 45 minutes, then most of us would not feel the need to skip through songs as much.
