Indeed! Overwraught and comically corny vs. A more mature and understated approach.

 

:P

"When they turn the pages of history

When these days have passed long ago

Will they read of us with sadness

For the seeds that we let grow?"

 

 

Dear lord, bring on the Spinal Tap dancing dwarves!

Presto has actually got a vote. Its a funny old world!

 

That was me.

 

I love Xanadu.

 

That's it.

 

I enjoy Presto much more. Maybe because it was my first Rush studio release (after I became a fan, purchasing ASOF)

 

Available Light, Hand Over Fist, Show Me Don't Tell Me, The Pass - it's much more consistent record, though of course it doesn't have Cygnus or Xanadu ---But Presto also doen't include songs as cringe-worthy as Cinderella Man or Madrigal.

 

I think my drumming sensibilities have something to do with it. I just like the way NP plays on Presto - and I love that Copeland-inspired drum sound. On AFTK, the toms sound muted and dull, and snare doesn't have that CRACK that I love on Presto.

 

Of course I can't ignore how groundbreaking AFTK is, but it's Rush's Topographic Oceans Tormato to me. Great ideas that don't always cohere...

Even Anagram for Mongo sounds like it's part of a whole album statement. Presto is more of a Prog-work than AFTK. The songs are so disparate on that record. Xanadu is a masterpiece. Cygnus is awesome, but what about the other tracks? They're fun, but they're all different sounding song experiments.

the fact Presto has any votes baffles me

Because it doesn't have songs about dragons or rocket ships?

at least it's better than talking about painting a mirror black or rock paper scissors
