Unbelievable. Especially given the fact that the bass player sings the damn lyrics. Amazing. I can kinda sing, and I can kinda play, but not at the same time. I am definetly not worthy and bow to the Art of Geddy. What a man.

The Great: Big Money Grand Designs Middletown Dreams The Very Good : the rest of the album The Not So Good: Marathon sorry I just think it sucks the balls of the Signals dog.

I have a certain affinity for this album. It was the only Rush album since I started listening to them (HYF) that I really could have cared less about. Once I did finally get it I was surprised that I like it so much. Every song that is aside from Virtuality. What a piece of crap. The riff is good though. Blech. The album itself is in the upper middle of my favorites, above HYF but below Presto. If Signals be the benchmark (one of my 3 favorite albums ever) then I give T4E about an 7.

Vapor Trails was an album I loved on first hearing and played it constantly for about 4 months. Then I think I started weeding out certain songs and finally really listened to about 3 or 4 of the songs. Ceiling, Peaceable, Touch and Earthshine. I don't think the remix brought anything better out of any of these and now when I listen to CU I feel slightly disorientated. Its so different its like a completely new song. I still love it but its...its just not the same. On the remixI do feel that some tunes like Freeze, TSLD, and Out of the Cradle do sound better in every way and of course Touch doesn't kill my ears like it used to. I'm still really surprised that OLV hasn't become a huge sports anthem.

NO. I like it as well. There is a heavy melodic pull within that belies the kind of corny wistfulness of the chorus lyric. That said its better than half of the other songs on this album in this respect. Of course the bass line is really cool and yes, a great Lerxst lead line.
