VAPOR TRAILS

Okay, okay. Vapor Trails is a strange Rush album. It's the least instant of any Rush album. It's the heaviest rush album. The weirdest production on a rush album. People keep quoting the obvious classic tracks (Earthshine, Peacable Kingdom, Freeze, One Little Victory). I've loved this band for many years and acknowledge such tracks as Jacob's Ladder, La Villa Strangiato, Xanadu and 2112 with due awe but tucked away in a corner on this album is one fantastic little track with the most simple melody. It's called How It Is and it ranks as highly as any of these tracks in my opinion. It is wonderful simplicity. Even your girlfriend might like it!!!
