coventry Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 i can't say anything bad against ol Presto. my pick for most underrated rush album. I love neil's drum sound here. While most bash it. Presto rules. Mick The album has some of Neil's most inventive and interesting drumming. Each song is percussively distinct from the rest and in many cases help shape and drive the tune more than any other instrument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Presto is so great it amazes me how it is treated as a weak album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Presto is so great it amazes me how it is treated as a weak album.There are a couple to many cheesy songs. i like the production even though most don't. Clear and concise instrumentation. Not all distorted and full of overlaying as with recent sh*t..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Presto is so great it amazes me how it is treated as a weak album. The biggest weakness is the production. If they would remaster it, I think it would be more popular. It has no low-end and sounds thin in comparison to any of their other albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 But a remix may make it lose its "essence" I'd be interested in hearing a remix, but I love Presto just the way it is! Only song I REALLY want to improve is Superconductor, but even then only the backing vox on the chorus. Otherwise I really like it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the song is a little too "upbeat" for it's own good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) I don't buy into this weak production B.S. line and never have. Is it the strongest ever? no. but it is in no way that weak. You want weak? i point you once again to the champ of wussy-ness, RTB.

I think it's one of the bands most inventive and diverse albums. I really love this album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len(songs) Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Chronologically (objectively), 80's In spirit, 90's. Whereas PeW is 80's either way IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len(songs) Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 It sounds very 80s to me which is one reason that I don't care for it. A lot of songs in basic 4/4. There are also the staccato shimmery rhythm guitar parts like Chain Lightening, i.e. The Police, and Red Tide i.e.The Go-Go's. Presto sounds much more dated than their other albums. Counterparts has its 80's moments i.e. (The Enemy Within) but it's further back in the decade. Presto and The Pass sound more timeless.The Enemy Within is on Counterparts?

It's the best song on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
