AnEggplant Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I know, I know, but hear me out. If that kind of production had been put to pretty much any other Rush album, I could see everyone's complaints. However, Vapor Trails is not like other Rush albums, and in my humble opinion that isn't a bad thing. Vapor Trails, production aside, has grungier, harder hitting songs with a more vicious and aggressive tone. Therefore I feel the harsh, rough production actually fit the songs perfectly. I just thought I'd say that. I'd like to know your thoughts. :) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 ^^^ Spot on. It's a big part of the emotional tone of the songs. Not everyone likes it, but I'm not sure that was the intent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkPrattLerxst Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I agree the original mix fits the emotion/energy of the songs, but it's exhausting to listen to. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomesickAlien Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 With all the masturbatory VT threads out there, someone needs to be the voice of reason and remember that this album is still a giant steaming POS.

Digital Dad Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I agree the original mix fits the emotion/energy of the songs, but it's exhausting to listen to. I got to the point where I completely skip Stars Look Down/How It Is and Miracle/Nocturne/Freeze and its not such a chore. Even on the remix. Actually I just don't like those songs.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Exhausting? If I ever listen to "Vapor Shart Trails" again I might put and exhaust pipe in my mouth and end it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 "Vapor Trails" is to RUSH and "St. Anger" is to METALLICA. PURE SHITE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Earl, Vapor Trails got me thru a really shitty time in my life. I would put it on, LOUD and hit the road. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Earl, Vapor Trails got me thru a really shitty time in my life. I would put it on, LOUD and hit the road. Well my friend. I totally respect that. We are all wired differently. It's what makes "Half The World" go around.I'm glad this record was able to reach you and keep you on solid ground. You know I love to joke around on here all the time. But I too have a serious side. I'm glad you are ok. I actually care about you and many others on here. We all have shit to get through. Rush has helped us all! To that I am also thankful for the rest of my life. If I had to choose RUSH over a woman at this stage in my life, I would choose RUSH. No offense to any woman on here. I adore many of you. Edited November 10, 2015 by RUSHHEAD666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dearly miss Goober when threads like this turn up. Ahhh goobs. It really seemed to bother him that some people enjoy Vapor Trails. And man did he shit on that album! But if you ripped on some of his tastes (music/tv/film), occasionally that really seemed to bother him too. Smart guy and often entertaining but a bit too sensitive at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I miss Goober too! He was awesome!He was also correct about this steaming pile of SHIT.Real Rush fans embrace "Ghost Ridet?" Wow! And I thought I was a Rush Whore! Bend me over and shove a Russian missile up my arse! Perhaps a Rushian missile would fit better! All Vapor Trails Threads are ridiculous and a waste of 73's bandwidth. Testicles For Ego is better than VT That was hard to write. And on that note.......... Goodnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZumbi Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 No... it was awful.... I could not listen to it at all, it gave me a headache every time after 2-3 songs! I hated it.... Now when I got Vapor Trails Remixed, I loved it thou... one of their best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I understand that people like it, I really do. But the production was a total mistake, a real shoolboy error. They basically recorded everything too "hot" so it clipped excessively, and no amount of compression was going to fix that. Even remastering can only improve things, not fix it completely, they would have to rerecord the album to do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irenicus Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The only problem with is it was mixed/mastered much too loudly, destroying the dynamics and generating clipping. And that is not in any way even remotely a good thing. But if it weren't for that, it would be a fine recording for sure, the remix proved that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
