laughedatbytime Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 and it all came together for me. Beautiful tunes, thumping bass, fabulous lyrics (love the Anagrams in Anagram for Mongo!...and who thinks to write a song about rock paper scissors and make it so profound)...just a masterpiece from the opening strains to the final fade. And that Superconductor...what a great commentary on the nature of modern fame. Wrapped in a delicious chorus. Now I know what all of the Presto connoisseurs were talking about all these years. Definitely in my top 5. I reject everything I said about this album before...this is perfection....even Scars pulls you in by the first few seconds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 presto's a funny album. they're trying to rock, they're edging their way back into the rock zone but geddy's wearing his floaties and not ready to jump into the deep end yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure if you saw one of the 6,328 posts LABT has made on that. Just so I don't fall behind, I love Counterparts...it's April first still, right? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Guy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Presto gets my vote. The roughly '89-'96 period for Geddy's voice is something I dig, probably the biggest draw of the album to me. Show Don't Tell, War Paint, and Presto show up in my playlists, with a couple others less frequently. Thinking about it, there's more I like about it than RTB.

I really like the verses of Face Up, but I could do without the loud FACE UP chants every line on the chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irenicus Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Presto is definitely somewhat underrated. Easily better than the overrated Clockwork Angels and also every 90s album plus S&A and maybe HYF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
