1 stars For a band as talented and successful as Rush, who have created some of the most incredible rock albums ever, Vapor Trails is a dismal failure. Rush are about musicianship, precision, and emotion. VT is loaded with emotion, but the background music that carries it is an absolute disaster. Neil even admitted that the majority of the album was peiced together on a computer, pasting together numerous months worth of jams on a Mac G4, because they said they couldn't better the performance, so they stuck with the original takes, horrible sound quality and all. Speaking of sound quality, VT is, by far, the worst sounding album from a professional label I have ever heard, and it's from a band known for being perfectionists! The layers upon layers of vocals and guitars (21 layers of guitars on Sweet Miracle alone!!), and bass is just too much. Add to that a lead vocal that sounds like it was recorded under water and within 5 minutes of listening you want to rip the CD out of the player and throw it against a wall!
