savagegrace26 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Remove Peacable Kingdom, The Stars Look Down, and How It Is from Vapor Trails and it's a much stronger and cohesive album: One Little VictoryCeiling UnlimitedGhost RiderVapor TrailSecret TouchEarthshineSweet MiracleNocturneFreezeOut of the Cradle Yes. F*ck Peacable Kingdom. It's boring and plodding. And if you don't like Out of the Cradle it's still the best song to close the album out with because of it's upbeat energy and positive lyrics. Out of the Cradle comes across as last minute filler How do you determine what "last minute filler" sounds like? Force Ten and New World Man are offically "last minute filler" as they were specifically written and recorded in one day to fill time on their respective albums... I think Out of the Cradle closes the album perfectly because it has a similar spirit and energy to One Little Victory. The album begins and ends on a positive note which compliments some of the darker material in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingAllTheTime Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 It's decent. Not horrible but not outstanding either. A little too upbeat for it's own good. Vapor Trails Remixed version is much better than the original. But it is probably one of the least "Rush sounding" songs in their catalog. And tries too hard to be "catchy". It is catchy on purpose. The melody is upbeat because the lyrics are not and actually relate to the forced upbeat melody. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 vapor trials seesm to really be most rsh fans favorite , people are nuts with album.. Really? It actually may be one of the most divided among Rush fans. It's like an either you love it or hate it album and is in no way as universally loved as Moving Pictures, Permamnent Waves, Hemispheres. A Farewell to kings, etc. I don't love or hate it. You can't even compare it to those albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 When it comes to rush i never play anything else these days, i was wondering why and concluded VT the closest rush ever got, with exeption of their debut album, to making your usual standard rock album. I mean, from fly by night onwards the band sound had a kind of rush surreal feel to it that only they had, which is why we all loved em in first place probably, but eventually after 25 or so years VT kind of broke the mould for me and theres a lot of stuff in it that still retains the rush ethos but has more of a pure rock feel to it. Although has a few obvious faults, the album has a simple grounded honesty to it i really like, from which some of the more typically ethereal rush tracks like earthshine benefit greatly. Yeah is just a cool rockin album for me, without doubt the bands best in terms of variety and maturity. Thats coming from a guy who never thought he'd hear anything from them better than Waves, which i still believe came from the gods to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PK and TSLD are two of my fav songs off of this album! As for How It Is, I think it is brilliant. I love this album. Alongside Counterparts, this album is as good as all the albums from 2112-Presto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboWTF Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I don't care for it either. It sounds disjointed, like the chorus and refrain don't meld.+1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
