drbirdsong Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 After the long wait I was blown away by Vapor Trails. I had been listening since Permanent Waves and I thought Rush was over. I still love Vapor Trails and I haven't listened to it enough. Out Of The Cradle is not my favorite, but I can say that about a song on just about every album. Expecting perfection from imperfect human beings is futile. Long live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Cocky Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 QUOTE (drbirdsong @ Jun 3 2011, 10:49 AM) Expecting perfection from imperfect human beings is futile. Long live This is a great point. We here at TRF are highly critical of the music, but that by no means should be construed as we hate it. Good Rush = GREAT music Mediocre Rush = GOOD music Bad Rush = Average Music Rush is never below average to the true fan! We only debate so much because we care, at least that's true for the majority. So even when I have VT ranked #14 out of 18, what I'm really talking about is levels of awesomeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3strukt Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 I really like the static effect used in the second chorus of "How it is" around "It's such a cloudy day" Shits awesome. This album is surprising the hell out of me. It has suddenly made my number 1 album (I have been listening to it non stop all day to get down the drum parts. No easy feat, this album.)

tangy Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 VT has a quality to it, perhaps the rawness or the aggressive nature of the guitar, that for some reason reminds me of the first record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only debate so much because we care, at least that's true for the majority. Speaking as a TRUE Rush fan, can I just say that you are talking out of your posterior. A TRUE fan will call garbage whenever he/she hears it. Even in the days of Old Rush Good, you can't argue that Rivendell even deserves the epithet mediocre. Only a true crawly bumlick fanboi/goil would say Rush never descend below average. How a band can go from the sublime - Hemispheres, to the mundane - Presto, to the downright diabolical - Vapid Trials, is saddening beyond belief.

Well Daddy can with his cock I think you meant "All Your" not "All You" before experience. Don't keep embarrassing yourself, please. Neil should take a leaf from Lee Westwood's book. Yes, Lee Westwood, erstwhile world's No 1 Golfer, and all round more famous person than NEP will ever be. Lee understands that a corollary of fame is people wanting to talk to you, and he will always make the effort. Even when I jumped out from behind the cold meat counter in Worksop Sainsbury's.

Undemanding Contact Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hang on Toes, me old china. Reflecting on your comment above: I think you meant "All Your" not "All You" before experience. Don't keep embarrassing yourself, please. ...You spelt 'Neil' as 'Neal' in a previous post of yours in this very thread. To wit: I don't hate Neal. I heartily dislike him as a human being. That is all. On a complete tangent, me old mucker, do you not think that 'The Biter Gets Bit' would make one hell of a title for a Rush song?
