Do you think RUSH would have benefited from having shorter album after CD were introduce during the Hold Your Fire album and beyond. Many band once cds were introduced went "Time Happy" or more correctly - Time Crazy with their albums, contributing way to many songs that were mediocre or even substandard just to fill in the time. Album prior to Presto where much more focused and shorter due to the time limitation with vinyl. I believe RUSH fell into this trap as well. Imagine the following albums at shorter length. Hold Your Fire without (Tai Shan or High Water) Presto without (Red Tide, Anagram for Mongo and Hand over Fist) Roll the Bones without (You Bet your Life) Counterparts without ( Speed of Love and Everyday Glory) Test for Echo without (Dog Years, Virtuality or Carve away the Stone) Vapor Trails without (Nocturne or Out of the Cradle) Snakes And Arrows without (Good News First or We Hold On) Now I'm not say these songs are bad, I'm just saying their particular albums would have benefitted without their inclusion. Rush could have kept them on ice as bonus tracks for box sets like Sectors or something. What do you think?
