UPDATE - 3/8@1:14PM: Verified. The track list is official. The sales sheet for the album is floating around the net and it verifies the info. See this post for the details.

UPDATE - 3/8@8:43AM: This comes in from reader Michael H. According to a poster on the Rush 2 Yahoo newsgroup here is the entire track listing:

1. Far Cry
2. Armor and Sword
3. Workin' Them Angels
4. The Larger Bowl
5. Spindrift
6. The Main Monkey Business
7. The Way The Wind Blows
8. Hope
9. Faithless
10. Bravest Face
11. Good News First
12. Malignant Narcissism
13. We Hold On

No source was provided, but this seems believable for several reasons. One, all the songs listed at the HMV site are included (as the last 6 songs). Two, Far Cry is on there. And three, Workin' Them Angels - which was referred to in Neil Peart's book Travelling Music is on there. I'm betting this is accurate. 13 tracks... very cool.

----- snip -----

I'm not sure exactly what to make of this. It could be legit... or it could be a mistake. UK online music store HMV has Snakes & Arrows available for pre-order ... and gives a track list. The list contains only 6 songs - none of which is Far Cry. From what we know so far, the album is supposed to have 11 or so tracks. So either this is a complete mistake or it's legit and just a partial listing. For what it's worth, here's the list:

1. Hope
2. Faithless
3. Bravest Face
4. Good News First
5. Malignant Narcissism
6. We Hold On

As I find out more about this information, I'll let you know. Thanks to reader John E for the heads up.
