Tuesday's Gone Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 imo both albums could be fantastic if it wasn't for 2 or 3 really weak songs on each album. My vote goes to Presto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Presto is good compared to the four albums that came before it. T4E is like Michelangelo's David compared to the album that preceded it, but it is also a very good album on its own. T4E in a landslide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Presto, by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Test For Echo, easily. The title track is one of my favorite all time songs, and over half of the album is great. Presto blows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DistantEarlySignals Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Both are decent albums. Presto has the edge because of Hand Over Fist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I love one, and I really enjoy the other. Presto wins! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) T4E by a mile. If I was stranded on a desert island I would rather listen to Driven on a continuous loop than any of the songs on Presto, let alone the whole thing, though it could be argued that the songs on Presto are so drably similar that they could be considered the same song. Â Come to think of it, if Presto had been released in the early 19th century, Napoleons enemies could have exiled him with a copy of it. Humanity was a lot crueler then.

EagleMoon Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Test For Echo by a long shot. Presto is its sad little brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Presto for sure. Every time I listen to Test For Echo I just can't get into it but I've always loved Presto. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All is right in the world. ;) Yes, all is right in the world if Presto is in the lead in this match up.  To my ear Presto is loaded with decent / good songs and does not have a single bad song. Many of the songs are very strong. T4E starts out strong but you eventually get Dog Years and Virtuality (yuck). Although it comes back with the strong Resist and Carve Away the Stone the damage is done and those excellent songs can't undo it. Plus, over the years I have come to enjoy the thin sound of Presto. T4E was a warning of the bad music the Alex and Geddy were to create in the future (which may have buried some possibly good lyrics) and the horrible recording / mixing that was to come with VT and the weak recording / mixing on CA. Thank heavens they got the recording / mixing right with S & A!!! In other words, the recording / mixing /music was a sign of where they were going - and it was not a good sign. Don't take me wrong, I don't dislike T4E. The first side is overall rather good. And the 2nd side has Resist and Carve Away the stone. But with the dogs mixed in, the consistent strength of Presto and superior recording / mixing of Presto, Presto should be winning this. IMO that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madrushian Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I. Like and hate each equally. So I would take the good songs of each and call it Test for Presto. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
