anima Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Presto has several of my favourites (The Pass, Presto, Available Light). I can't stand Superconductor or Anagram though. On balance, it's an album I play a lot but probably the one where I most frequently skip tracks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushfanNlv Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Like all Rush albums, I associate the album with a certain period in my life and as such, I adore Presto, From 89 to around 91, Presto never left the tape deck in my car. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It has its moments, and as a follow up to HYF it could have been a lot worse, and Rush did get back on track with the following three albums. I think Presto to T4E is a very good era for the band (though not as strong as 2112- MP, or Signals to PoW). Availacertain magicLight is a fantastic example of just how good this era could be. However, for me the only real complaint is (yawn) the lifeless production. I am certain, with the right person, this could have been on the same level as MP. I find this album lacks a certain magic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefunk Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm curious- for people who are complaining of bad production, lack of bass, lack of 'punch' on this album, are you listening to the CD remasters or the original vinyl masters? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what kind of production god you bring in... Presto ain't comin' anywhere close to MP. Otherwise, I agree with you. The sound is weak in general, and the bass sounds awful. But The Pass, Available Light, and Show Don't Tell are great songs, and most of the other ones are decent enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Maybe I'm wrong...for whatever reason the last few times I've played it, MP hasn't gripped me. Hence my eagerness to compare it with Presto. I feel I have lost sight of what I know is an album I love! Arg, Camera Eye, Tom Sawyer and Vital Signs really irritate me! Am I going crazy? I can't have overplayed it, I've only had it three years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't have overplayed it, I've only had it three years! Judging by your list of favorite bands, you've been crazy for a while now, my friend. ;) Anyway, it's no big deal. Sometimes, what we get out of an album has to do with our mood at the moment or what's going on for us at that point in time. Sometimes we need time away from certain records. Sometimes the magic just vanishes for whatever reason. Time will tell for you and MP. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 O my...I have a very broad taste in music and yet my favourite bands always seem to be the odd ones... but I do get laughed at for loving Rush. To date, I am the only Rush fan I have ever met. so maybe I am not so crazy after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 so maybe I am not so crazy after all? We'll return to this question after you deliver some Yes verdicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 And I want my love for MP to come back. It made me love Rush! I can't rank HYF and Presto above MP thats insane! Lol I'm not really throwing a tantrum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I can't rank HYF and Presto above MP thats insane! The fact that you understand this is a good sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I think Presto has some really good songs on it, but it also has some clunkers. It's the only Rush album I can think of that has three clunkers in a row on it (Superconductor, Anagram, and Red Tide- ugh). But I also have a real nostalgic fondness for it, because the tour for it was when I went to my first Rush show- March of 1990. It was my junior year in high school. I think the whole first half of the album, up through the title track, is really strong. The last two songs on it are great as well. It's just those three weak ones all in a row...but I still like it a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I actually really like Presto. It has some weak spots, which is why it's a little disliked, but a lot of the songs on it are really great :). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I forgot to mention: I absolutely love the cover art to Presto. A part of me thinks: " What were they thinking!?!" The other part of me thinks: "Aww...I likes bunny wabbits!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Toto's great...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f5dDJNWRQc one of my fav tunes off the debut album. Mick I know!Iove it! Me too. who cares if they're poppy. I not so secretly adore good pop rock. And they put on a HELL of a live show. MixkGood track...but I prefer the original Partridge family version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't do an 8-track release. Is the move away from 8-tracks the reason why you gave up on RUSH altogether, by chance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
