RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 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. Shite is shite. Wipe..... then flush. Signed, VAN HALENGlad you took time away from beating off to hair metal to once again share your thoughts on VT, Earl. Stay classy! :cheers: Anytime!! You know I love ripping this overrated record! Signed, Ron Burgundy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I like it the way it is. And those that saying that its to long are morons. There is no such thing as an album being "too long" in my opinion. I agree. The longer, the better! Men are more concerned about length than women. It's what you do with it that matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did the little moron throw a clock out the window?Because morons will do anything. Zumbi, I'm glad you like VT the way it is. Maybe you could tell us why.I'm glad rushhead666 hates it. He has every right to. And I'm glad we can have a discussion about our various points of view using examples instead of vitriol.

vaportrailer Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Interesting idea, Justus_2112. I felt that the original release was too long, and would've benefitted from editing; leaving, say, 3 songs off of it.Earthshine seemed to be a fitting closer, so I just thought of the rest of the tunes as "bonus tracks".With the remix, I started liking the last few songs, and now only tend to skip 'Ghost Rider', 'Sweet Miracle', and sometimes 'Nocturne'. VT is one of my favourites, and got me interested in Rush again, after a break of many years. Signals was the last one I bought, until VT, which was a hot sonic mess, but had more guts and passion in the performances than anything they'd released since the debut, or FBN, and that clicked with me.Some great guitar work on here, and I like Neil when he ditches the cutesy percussion touches, and just goes for it, reminding me at times of Keith Moon. I know some people loathe this album, probably because of the sh!tty mastering, and lack of guitar solos, but it's a gem, at least to me. Some of NP's best lyrics too, imo. Yea it was a little lengthy. I would cut "Peaceable Kingdom" and "Sweet Miracle" if I cut anything. "Peaceable Kingdom" is out of place on that album IMO. Why is Peaceable Kingdom out of place? The lyrical theme doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of Neil's lyrics. I guess it could be said that it was one more issue happening in his life that he had to face, although it as an issue we all faced on 9/11. And I guess it does fit the theme of the album ... but it still seemed a step away from the rest of what he was writing about. I dunno ... just seems like a sidebar song. I feel that we are pulled into this world being created by the lyrics in the other songs, things we know are going to deal with Neil and his losses and trying to find himself again. And then we kind of get pulled out of that by this song. I believe it was supposed to be an instrumental, but then lyrics were added to address recent events.Is there a instrumental mix of this somewhere? It would have been an interesting bonus track on the remix.It's a bit of a sludgy, mid-tempo song, and probably benefitted from lyrics, although you're right, the lyrical theme doesn't really mesh with the rest of the album.It has sort of a Kashmir-vibe in spots, heavy and crunchy, that at times seems to be at odds with the lyrics. At least, that's what this moron thinks! :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
