I'll have to.....

...skip ahead to the second half of the disc. I played the first few songs while doing stuff around the house, and it absolutely flunked the 'get my attention' test. Nothing I heard made me want to go and actually listen to the music. Hopefully the second half is better.

The thing that got me most was Geddy's singing - what a broken record he is! His melodies have not changed in the last two decades. I guess that's what happens when dogs get old - they may be able to learn new tricks, but seldom bother to.

As for sound quality, a solid, "Meh." I'd have to agree with you that it's mixed like most modern pop/rock - it's meant to sound good on everything and excellent on nothing. I wish Peart would go back to using a snare drum sound that sounds like a snare drum. I'm sure he's using a nice drum, but it's just way too processed to sound like a real drum.
