Vapor Trails vs Vapor Trails Remixed - 17 years later.

[Three Eyes]

The remix is listenable - you can't listen to the original - so by process of elimination it wins.

 

Well that was easy! Carry on! lol.

Wow the original has won this poll, dominated really when you realise who voted for the remix!

[Segue Myles]

I see both as flawed, but find the original to be super powerful to listen too. Very cathartic and caustic and I love it so much. I find the remix really bland, and in contrast to the original, it sounds very polite.

 

I wish the original sounded better but saying that I absolutely love it. Just because the remix clears things up doesn't mean it's better by default. It takes too much away from the original.

[Todem]

The poll is flawed. I like some songs on the original and some on the remix.

 

I made a custom CD of the album with the mixes for the songs I enjoy.

 

The album itself is very passionate despite being a bit disjointed and well below the sonic standards the band had prior to this album. They would recapture the great sonic quality again on Snakes....and then kinda lose it on their brilliant swan song with CA.

 

Back to VT. A polarizing record from the band. The original being released in that state was incredibly disappointing knowing the high standard Rush had set with so many of their albums. But the fact the album was even made was a miracle in of itself and “One Little Victory"
