Rushman14 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Pretty much leave out War Paint, Scars and Superconductor and ifs pretty freaking good. Miles better rhan RtB. You Bet Your Life is kinda the nail in the coffin for RTB It is absolutely awful. And I would take Superconductor over any one of YBYL, Wheel or Face Up. Agreed except Big Wheel. I like it. The chorus makes me warm and fuzzy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman14 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Presto is a 4/5 star album, excellent collection of tunes, lots of atmosphere and a hint of winter... it would rate higher for me if the production weren't so thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine 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. I only just saw this thread and read only your post. Is this an April Fool's joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Exception Scars you pointed out all or at least the majority of the stuff I don't like about the album. As I have stated I like about 6 out of the 11 songs... What day is today?It's a beautiful day to be enjoying one of Rush's masterpiece. In fact, it IS their mid career masterpiece...

The Cat 3 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I actually quite like "Snakes and Arrows". But, I like "Feedback" better than "Presto". That being said, the Audio Fidelity version of "Presto" sounds very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg2112 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'll always have a fondness for this album as it brought me back to the band. Stopped listening after PoW frustrated by the deluge of synth on HYF, and opted out of the 87-88 tour (the only one outside of CP that Ive missed since 82). The return to a guitar driven sound was a welcome surprise, and the songs, while not top tier, were certainly enjoyable enough. I viewed it as a comeback of sorts, and the tour was great, esp Xanadu. So not a great Rush album for me, but certainly a good one. And better than any of the post Counterparts output for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
