tx_rush Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Done. I am going back to re-listen to a few of them..... Scars is way cool I gotta give it up..... I am pretty shocked you enjoyed the album. In curious as to what you thought of Superconductor, Hand Over Fist, and AvailableLightI am re-listening now. I can say there doesn't appear to be a sh*t song on the whole thing. I may have to get one of these after all...... You disappoint me, NarpYou complete me, Narp, with your new-found love of Presto.I am kind of stoked to be honest and thanks for the kind words..... :haz: Presto is a top 10 Rush album IMO Me love presto (although I will admit superconductor is pretty terrible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 This surprises me too. A LOT. Though I don't think the Wal bass is as farty on Presto as it is on HYF. It sounds much more like the jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headphones, speakers?Headphones and it sounded pretty awesome. Especially Superconductor.... Superconductor... The biggest victim of the Hine production. On any other record (save RTB) it would have sounded good, but on Presto, with its production, it really takes the edge off of the guitar part.

Just goes to show you how they record something can really make the difference. Maybe Geddy thought the tone was too farty as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 WOW. Haven't checked in with this thread all day and I find this. Definitely the opposite of what I anticipated. I hate this album to death but Narp I am very pleased you found a post p/g album you like. :cheers: Btw not to ruin your night but that bass at the beginning of Scars? That ain't Geddy. That's a sequencer. I will say the drum patterns in that are cool. If you listen closely you'll find that Neil has been incorporating Scars's drum patterns into his solos!

I was as surprised as anyone that I enjoyed it but that is what this is all about I suppose. I truthfully never found myself bored or wanting to forward through any of it. RTB tomorrow..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Narps, i don't understand how you like Presto and not HYF. Both have that eighties sound (at least to me they do). And if you want to talk "disco-y" songs, Scars is the most disco-y song they did. You mean The Weapon... Scars sounds like it belongs in a disco. The Weapon doesn't. You know what sounded like it belonged in a disco? A couple instances of Red Sector A on this last tour. Twice, where I was sitting, the mix was really bass-heavy and the song sounded like it had a heavy dance beat (which it kinda does, it's just pushed down in the album mix). It was quite disconcerting, to have this cool dancey beat combined with intense, somber lyrics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
