Album Notes Rush: Geddy Lee (vocals, bass); Alex Lifeson (acoustic & electric guitars, mandola); Neil Peart (drums). VAPOR TRAILS finds prog-rock veterans Rush breaking the longest hiatus (six years, in part due to personal tragedies suffered by drummer/lyricist Neil Peart) in the band's 30-year history. The album is heavier than anything the band had recorded in years. The late-'80s/early-'90s synth-heavy/clean-guitar sound has long since been abandoned for a thick, crunchy, and structurally more straight-forward approach, intensifying the spirit introduced on 1996's TEST FOR ECHO. Quite notable on VAPOR TRAILS is bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee's singing, which find him soaring confidently in the upper part of his range, especially on "Ghost Rider" and "Nocturne." This brings back memories of the early days, as the '90s often found Lee confining himself to his midrange. As he sings on "Peaceable Kingdom," the time is now again for Rush; VAPOR TRAILS boasts a set of stirring songs with the potential to become instant Rush classics.

Reviews  Happy Fan!Review created: 04/14/08 by:  I bought the CD and other Rush CDs to catch up on all their albums I hadn't kept up through the years. eBay was a great way, at a great price to achieve this! Review ID: 10000000006709264 Was this review helpful? Report this review Another victory for the trio!1 of 1 people found this review helpful. If I really think about it, I am one weird guy. When it comes to The Three Stooges, I actually like Shemp better than Curly. When it comes to our US presidents, I actually think George Bush is decent. When it comes to the prog metal band Queensryche, I actually liked their sequel to Operation:Mindcrime. Your convinced now, aren't you? Told you I'm quirky. But dear reader, the quirkiness doesn't stop there, no sir/ma'am! The Canadian Rock band known as Rush have been pumping out amazing albums almost every year since the early 70s with many, many big hits (you probabbly have at least heard their song 'Tom Sawyer' on the radio). They took a 5 year break after writing 1996's 'Test For Echo' due to severe tragedy in the family of drummer Neil Peart, and the band wouldn't come back until 2002, when they blessed our ears with 'Vapor Trails' which happens to be my all-time favorite Rush album, even over 2112, thus making me a certified weirdo. The album is alot more progressive and heavy than anything I've heard by Rush. Almost bordering the sounds of Dream Theater's recent albums. That's probabbly why I like it so much, as I am also a huge DT fan. But, they don't go out and try to change their sound completely; the same old Rush feel is still there all the way. I'd say this album is great for newcomers to Rush, and a serious absolute must-have for any seasoned Rush fans. Another victory for the trio, who have yet to make something my ears and spirit don't enjoy. Review ID: 10000000005429598 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
