Slim Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Why would I re-order it? I already bought it. That was my second thought, after "why oh WHY did I buy it in the first place?" Because I'm a completist, of course. But it really is one of the worst records I've heard by any band or artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I love Vapor Trails more than I love Rush as a band. I could honestly lose every Rush album but this one and still feel content. I don't want to lose any Rush album really but you get my drift lol! It autocorrected that way and you are being petty it's pathetic. Correct is correct. Zumba sounds like a cross between my grade 3 teacher, and RD Laing.(My iPad corrects "zumbi" to "Zumba", but as the man said, correct is correct, correct?) This is who I have taken the name from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zumbi I don't care where you got your name from it doesn't make you any more likeable. You are just an overly sensitive nuisance. A molly coddled brat who likes to overreact to everything and then lash out when he feels slighted. You can dish it out but you can't take it. Yeah I'm having a mood swing. Whatever. It just makes me want to say it as it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Love the use of "Molly coddled". Thumbs up!Although in my mind I picture being cuddled by Molly Ringwald...http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-mol1.htm Q: (From Richard Buttrey, UK) Have you any idea where mollycoddling originated?A: Let’s take it in its two parts. The second comes from the verb to coddle, meaning to treat somebody in an overprotective way, as though he or she were an invalid. The verb in this sense is not recorded before the early part of the nineteenth century — its first appearance is in Jane Austen’s Emma: “Be satisfied with doctoring and coddling yourself”. It looks very much as though it comes from an older sense of the verb meaning to boil gently, to parboil. That sense is linked to caudle, an old word for a warm drink of thin gruel mixed with sweetened and spiced wine or ale, which was given chiefly to sick people. Hence, by association of ideas, coddle took on its modern sense.The first bit is on the face of it easy enough, since it is from the pet form of the given name Mary (as in Sweet Molly Malone of Dublin’s fair city). But Molly has also had a long history in several different but related senses associated with low living. (The name was popularised by Middleton and Dekker’s play The Roaring Girl of 1611, which featured a criminal called Moll Cut-purse.) As either molly or moll, from the early seventeenth century on it was often used to describe a prostitute, hence, much later, the American gangster’s moll. As molly it was also a common eighteenth-century name for a homosexual man, often in the form Miss Molly, and a molly house was a male brothel (as in Mark Ravenhill’s new play at the National Theatre in London, Mother Clap’s Molly House). #2017.TRF.yearofthedidact 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Why the hell would i ever re-order "Vapor Trails?" I can't even listen to this album in it's entirety anymore. It's by far their worst album as a collective band. Ironically I saw that tour four times. Met Neil backstage. Was not a happy camper. I'm glad some of you love the record. I'm old school and proud of it. I say "Happy Trails" to "Vapor Trails!" One of the worst albums ever made on the planet!It honestly doesn't matter how many times you change the song order.
