BU4B Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 An unexpected side effect for me. I just couldn't dig VP no matter how hard I tried. But felt that clockwork angels reminded me of it and maybe how VP should have been in someways. So decided to give VP a spin for comparison and have discovered I actually like it now. Good old some sorta reverse Psychology going on ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArrowSnake Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Good for you! Vapor Trails is one of my favorites. The production sucks but the songwriting is amazing imo. It's a moving and inspirational album. I also really love Geddy's bass playing on VT. It's sad that the production ruins it for a lot of people.

third hand grace Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I have a cleaned up version of VT, and I think the muddiness of the Rush version is why so many dislike it. Strip away the NOISE and its an impressive body of work, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShlappinDahBass Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I love VT in general. I would love to listen to a cleaned version! But this is going to sound kind of random.....but I'm enjoy Feedback a ton because of this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Pity this new found appreciation didn't help you with the spelling of Vapor Trails... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyLeeFender Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 VT is a top 10 album for me...as stated above Geddy's bass is just off the chain on that record. Along with the newest release as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 If you're unsure about the British spelling of anything, just add a "u" to anuy giveun spuelling. I'm off to listen to Clockwourk Angels again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielmclark Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I love VT, and I won't even qualify it with a "besides the awful production" or some such thing. I don't have a problem with the production at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priest_of_syrinx Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I've been in love with Vapor Trails ever since I read Roadshow and Ghost Rider. Now if only CA could make me love S&A again, like I did when it was the first album I bought on the release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
