Yes, I'd stop listening to Rush from that point forward. It would be a betrayal of every principle they've professed to stand for over the past 40 years, plus - more importantly - the resulting music would suck. The last thing it would be is progressive. People want to remix shit and put it out on their own, fine. But for the band itself to put out an album of remixes with their name on it... no.

jebren72 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Vapor Trails is one of their top 5 albums. Its a shame some "fans" couldnt move forward with them on it but who cares. I listen to it quite abit. Alex's rhythms on it are unreal! It could use a remix but they already did OLV and Earthshine for the Retrospective so it'd just be the rest of the album. I dont think there'd be enough commercial demand to justify doing it but we can always hope! Ceiling Unlimited could really use a remix but at least they did 2 songs off of it. And Out of the Cradle is a very good song. Alex's guitar part in the middle is one of the albums highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only guess that they didn't consider it cost effective or worth their time to remix an entire album that didn't really sell well to start with and that they don't seem too crazy about in hindsight given that barely any VT songs were carried over to the more recent setlists.

jnoble Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (ArrowSnake @ May 17 2012, 02:29 PM) I love Vapor Trails. I think it's one of the most personal, emotional albums Rush has made. Music wise it's very original and shows a side of the band I hadn't heard before. Lyric wise it's very moving and inspiring. The production wasn't very good and that's a shame. But they will release a remixed version so I'll listen to that one in the future. The only thing I don't like about this album and also S&A is the choir of Geddy's. I agree that Rush should use less overdubs, especially with Geddy's voice. that's my biggest gripe with all the albums starting with TFE....too many layers of everything, especially guitar, which results in a thick muddy wall of sound. Don't like it for any band, especially Rush. Say what you want about Presto and RTB, those albums were much more listenable and easier to follow. Also, it would be nice if they could write shorter songs. Anything over 5 minutes just seems to go on way too long with too many repeats.

SchemingDemon Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Speaking of VT, I woke up today with this weird Geddy oooooh-oooh part stuck in my head and I could NOT place which song it was from. After about an hour of being annoyed about this snippet that I couldn't get out of my head, I finally realized it was- FREEZE! I hadn't listened to that song in who knows how long, so I have no idea how it ended up in my head the second I woke up But I gave it a quick listen earlier and the song keeps getting slightly better each time I hear it.. VT in whole is taking a VERY long time to grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time Traveler Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) I agree with Prime Mover about cranking it too loud! It is a great album, much more hopeful in tone than what followed it. I had it in my CD player for MONTHS until I finally gave it a rest. SnA only lasted a few weeks, similar to T4E. Don't get me wrong, I'm still glad they made SnA & T4E, but they just don't get as much listening as VT, CP, and many other albums before it. We'll see how long CA lasts in my CD listening time...
