theredtamasrule Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 By far not the greatest Rush album yet an important one for me personally as it was an uplifting soundtrack to a difficult period of my life. I mean, it sounds like shit but I really needed that shit at the time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JD Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I rather celebrate the release date of the remix. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Slipperman Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Wow. An important album for many reasons... my own personal reasons for loving this record are huge. 1) the band is BACK2) one of my close friends passed away at the end of 2012. Brain tumor. Wonderful musician. Huge Rush fan. We drove him to his last Rush show.I always think of him whenever I hear any of the VT songs.

Wil1972 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Listened to both mixes over the weekend with the wife and we agree the new mix is far superior. Certainly one of our favorite post-Mercury albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kena2112 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm a little late on this topic but we did listen to both albums yesterday. I have always been a VT fan but the remix version gives it new life and that makes me happy!!! The songs are excellent and the musicianship....well, it's Rush so. I'm just glad we can hear it ALL now on the remix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I remember getting home ,slipped in the cd,opened a beer and sat back and waited for my band to spring to back to life.Four or five tracks in i was scratching my head and my stereo amp had its LED lights in the red.Was the disc faulty,were my speakers knackered?.Now i love thunderous metal LOUD but this was an absolute wall of over compressed noise.Even some of the songs were just ordinary but the album has redeemed itself somewhat with the remix.The first Rush album i have never played all the way through without skipping tracks.However this was more of a celebration of my band coming back and the Rio dvd was just round the corner wich was more of celebration. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol! Yeah, I remember laying on the couch listening and thinking "wow, this is really intense and heavy" I don't think I've ever listened to Peaceable Kingdom or Freeze or Out Of The Cradle more than a couple times a piece since. I figured out right away I didn't like them and never would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I listened to it once and it was used as a coaster from then on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I loved the record when it came out. Neil was back! As the years go by it just gets worse with each tick of the clock. A beer coaster in my house. Not even a cash grab remaster made that record any better. It's the Metallica "St. Anger" of the Rush Canon. Pure sonic shit mixed in with modern manic melodies that resemble the music of Charles Manson. Moody Muck Of Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na na na Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Love Vapor Trails, to bad about the sound quality on the original mix, don't like the new mix, no balls at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Love Vapor Trails, to bad about the sound quality on the original mix, don't like the new mix, no balls at all. "Vapor Trails" is garbage even if it had a polished mix."Vapor Trails" is shite even if Terry Brown produced it.If Rush fans truly embrace "Ghost Rider" then wow......... I am shocked....... Geddy gets a lot of shit for his voice over the decades but man. His voice on Ghost Rider makes me want to put ice picks in my ears. A song that makes "Virtuality" seem like "Tom Sawyer." There is no melody on "Vapor Vomit Pails" I had to delete "My Favorite Headache" off of my iPhone today. Another horrific Geddy vocal record. This comes from a dude who has always defended Ged. Yes, fuckk the ignorant masses. But man. Every band writes and records a piece of shit record. Signed, QueensrycheY&TScorpionsYesGenesisIron MaidenBlack SabbathVan Halen HagarWet Dream TheaterMetallican'tDef Leppard On and on and on and on....... You get the point. Peaceable Shit Kingdom What the fuckk was Alex thinking with guitar tone? Junk to the ears. Edited May 17, 2017 by RUSHHEAD666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na na na Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Vapor Trails hit me on a spiritual level & it sounded really fresh to me when it came out. I love that crunchy guitar sound & Ghost Rider is a great song. To bad the new mix was done without even listening to what was good about the old one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 What is it with the bass drum on the remix? It's way up front and sounds like an explosion of tent farts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty Mindless Spectre Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The songs on this album sound sooooooo much better live. Secret Touch on S&A Live is magical. I really wish they would have played Peaceable Kingdom for one of the live DVDs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there wasn't anything "good" to listen to in the old mix. To me almost all the songs were more alive in the old mix. Sure the mix was a hot brick, but at the same time the songs were a lot more vibrant than in the new mix. If I remember correctly the new mix sounds thin and uninspired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
