HemiBeers Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) If I have to listen to my Presto CD, what will I use for my beer coaster?

coventry Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 If I have to listen to my Presto CD, what while I use for my beer coaster? Oh nevermind, I'll dig out my Hold Your Nose Fire CD I just ordered both the HYF and P/G new vinyls. That whole run from Signals to Presto was spectacular in terms of melodies and sonics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that about 75% of Signals is great- two songs are that are just sort of meh. I totally agree with the rest of your statement, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyflash Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Presto was the first new album of theirs that came out after I had become a fan. Overall, it's not one of my favorites, but I LOVE "Show Don't Tell", "Presto", and "The Pass". "Show Don't Tell" was the first "new" Rush song I got to hear on the radio, so it will always have a special meaning to me. "Warpaint" and "Available Light" are good, too. Too bad the production is so thin sounding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Forget Presto. I want to know what kind of speakers those are. What kind of word are they made from? Is there a sub? Those are Acoustic Zen Adagios in maple burl. http://www.acousticz...s/floorstanding I have an old Velodyne 8" sub but I rarely use it. The Adagios are comfortable down to about 25 Hz or so. Then you'll probably enjoy the Audio Fidelity version of Presto. It's not a miracle worker, but the bass is a bit punchier. Haven't heard the vinyl reissue yet, but the Audio Fidelity might be the best version I've heard. It's better than original and the first Atlantic remaster. It's been ages since I've spun the original vinyl, but I don't recall it standing out either. It's catalog number AFZ 182 if you're scoring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irenicus Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Definitely a bit underrated. Better than Roll the Bones, Counterparts, Test for Echo, Snakes & Arrows and Clockwork Angels. Not that that's saying much though, but it's a good album albeit with 2-3 stinkers. Edited January 24, 2016 by Irenicus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
