Best Song On "VAPOR TRAILS"?

I'd like to use this occasion to make an observation: I think it's a shame that so many people misunderstood this album, especially the sound of it (like I read in recnt reviews on this site). There is nothing wrong with the sound, it's not true that Rush made a mess of it. It's just clear that they wanted to guy in a slightly different direction. The songs are very mature and the sound feels very modern and comfortable with me! Rush succeeded very well in creating a small masterpiece. A piece of their own really. You can't blame 'em for the sound, especially when you know how they cared for the sound on their previous records! Besides, as prog fans you should learn to cope with progressions! isn't that a logical and esential part of progressive music?? Vapor trails is yet another album that features Rush in excellent shape which means with great songwriting, great musicianship and artwork that is up-to-date, unlike some other bands that still release records (cf. jethro tull, uriah heep, deep purple ... bloody awful)

Excellent point(s), Falafel.  You should write a review with those words you used. I couldn't have said it better; frankly, I can't agree more.  Thank You.  <brought a tear to my eye>
