How did I miss this golden poll?

 

When I bought "Vapor Trails" on it's true release day I listened to it over and over again and I liked it. Never loved it.

 

Today?

 

I can't even stomach the record.

 

It is by far the worst Rush record in their extensive catalog. More like a log of shite. Snail Trails. Skid Mark Trails inside tighty whitey Fruit Of The Looms!

 

"Vapor Trails" is the antonym of the word "Melodic."

 

It's junk for my progressive ears.

 

"The way out is the way in?" Get me the fuckk out of this album.

 

It's the St. Anger Rush Record.

 

This album is "LESS THAN ZERO!"

 

Signed,

 

Rob Blow I mean Lowe

 

You intellectuals get it right?

10/10. The remix turned this album into one of my favourites.

 

It takes me to a healing place.

Me, too. I listened to a lot of VT and S&A coming out of a long illness.

 

I gave it a solid 8/10. I was so happy for their return. Good songs.

Your pants are on fire

Cuz you are a liar!

 

Can’t remember what thread, maybe VT remix? We had a short back-and-forth and you gave it another spin and said a couple of good things about it. I guess I should’ve written that down on the calendar! :yes:

I think you ended up giving it a 6 or 6.5/10. Yes, really! :yes:

I’d do some digging for proof but damn wifi is slow and pissing me off. :yes:

Best;

At the time, it was their best album since at least GUP. It was surpassed by Snakes which was in turn surpassed by CA.

 

S&A and CA blow VT AWAY!

 

They do. But VT blows away the 6 albums that came between it and GUP.

 

WTF? VT > GUP???

 

 

LOL!

 

No. GUP is the last Rush album of the 20th century that is better than VT.

Found this...

 

 

 

One Little RUSHHEADY

 

A certain measure of insolence

Willing to appear naive

A pedigree of ejaculation

Idea that's ill conceived

 

A pedigree of offender

To the forces of fight and meet

A shot of counter action

In a willingness to risk his meat

 

Celebrate the RUSHHEAD

As he gains another sore

Another chance at 666

Another chance to whore

 

The measure of his Johnson

Is a difference of an inch

Just one little 666

A wanker using fee

One little RUSHHEADY

The strongest tug can be

One little RUSHHEADY

 

A certain measure of graciousness

A certain amount of course

A pedigree of condemnation

The CAPS ON yet again of course

 

A certain amount of insistence

To the forces of fight and meet

A certain measure of audience

Our willingness to take a seat

 

:blaze:

9/10

 

One of the bands finest albums, and the best of the post-2000s

Some brilliant moments. But overall a real sonic mess. Even the remix is "off". It is a demo quality type of Rush album. Cut and pasted together stuff too. Just a long process and difficult album for the band. But like I said....it has it's moments for me. Now that the album is gulp 16 years old (jesus man time has flown by) I can say these tracks have stood the test of time for me:

 

One Little Victory

Ghost Rider

Vaportrail

Nocturne

The Stars Look Down

Earthshine

Sweet Miracle
