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.

17th studio recording, and first new release since 1998's RIAA gold-certified 3CD live collection, Different Stages. 13 tracks including 'The Stars Lookk Down', 'How It Is', 'Earthshine' & 'Nocturne'. 2002.

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.

Rush: Geddy Lee (vocals, bass); Alex Lifeson (acoustic & electric guitars, mandola); Neil Peart (drums).

Rolling Stone (5/23/02, p.82) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...[Rush] abandons the prog-rock jams...for a harder, Staind-friendly approach..."

1 star I love the music! Sound quality the most horrible!
I am a Rush fan. I love all their music, including this CD. Probably the best Rush album in years. Sadly it is the worst sound quality of ANY CD I have heard to this point. So maximized and compressed I can only listen to it once in a while. Could stand to use a remastering severely. Sorry guys, I love you but it had to be said. They let me down with sound quality.

5 stars Superb return to form
The five year sabbatical has sharpened these guys up. Test for Echo was patchy, but this is as ever, beautifully played and well thought out. Quirky in places, but a real classic. I have been lucky to see them live in Canada and they're even heavier! Every Rush fan should have this!

4 stars Rush - Still the Best Band Ever
Rush is back after a looong 6-year hiatus. The first thing noticed when looking at the cd booklet is that the only instruments listed are bass, guitars, and drums. Rush gets back to their "roots" of being a pure rock trio. And they rock hard! The band has returned to a hard-edged sound while maintaining their melodic side. They've brought together the best elements of their musicianship and songwriting into a perfect blend. Die-hard fans (like myself) will definitely not be disappointed, and others into hard rock should get this disc if they want something different from all the derivative crap that's out there now.

3 stars Welcome back, Rush
This album, I must admit, took a dozen times to listen to to actually soak it all in, something I have never done with any other Rush album. I have been a huge fan and advocate for Rush for a very long time and this seems to me like an extreme departure from what we have been used to for the past 20 years. Lyrically, it's some of Neil's most intriguing work, however, musically, there is something lacking. I can't decide weather it is the way it was engineered or that I just miss Geddy's acrobatic keyboards or Alex's blazing riffs. They still sound tight and extremely professional as ever. This album definately rocks but, in a much different way. I would very much like to give this album 5 stars, however, it would not be accurate. Maybe someday it will grow on me and become a classic like Moving Pictures or 2112. It is definately an acquired taste.

3 stars The Kings of Canadian Rock Return!
I must admit that after waiting almost five years for a new CD, my expectations were extremely high. I know many Rush fans are delighted at the return to the basic guitar, drum, bass music. I for one was hoping for more synth and solo riffs, which is all but absent from this CD. However, this is still a VERY enjoyable effort. "Vapor Trails", which is getting lots of air time in my area, is one song to crank up the volume. My other favorites are "Peaceable Kingdom", "Ceiling Unlimited", "Earthshine" and "Sweet Miracle". Not their best effort, but after five years, a definate pick for the core Rush fan. I can't wait to see them live opening night in Hartford!

Vapor Trails
CD $6.79  4.3 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
After building up a cult following with years of non-stop touring, Rush nearly lost their fans with CARESS OF STEEL. Taking their cue from British bands like Yes and Genesis, they began to expand their sound beyond that of a typical power trio. Gone were the riff-based songs and extended jams, replaced with more intricate arrangements, multi-part songs and deeper, introspective lyrics. Ironically, it was these elements that would later win them an international audience. The ...

After the success of its 1984 synth-driven album, GRACE UNDER PRESSURE, Rush continued in the same direction for its follow-up, POWER WINDOWS. Although the trio had made a name for itself originally with hard-edged prog-rock, Rush began embracing new wave sounds by the mid '80s. While many other hard rock bands of the '70s who made similar musical detours struggled to maintain their audiences in the '80s, Rush thrived ...

Continuing their trend that began with GRACE UNDER PRESSURE, Rush turned in a glossy, keyboard-driven record with 1987's HOLD YOUR FIRE. Like the previous album, POWER WINDOWS, this one was co-produced by Peter Collins, resulting in a collection of very pop-friendly songs but with the trio's signature complex arrangements and intelligent lyrics. The most dramatic difference with FIRE is the inclusion of an outside guest vocalist on "Time Stand Still" in the person of rocker Aimee Mann. This period of Rush's career often came under ...

Though Supertramp eventually broke through in the US as radio-friendly pop-rockers, they started out in the prog-rock mode, turning out lengthy songs full of fanciful instrumental interludes. Even at their proggiest, though, they always interjected a discernible Beatlesque pop sensibility that kept them well away from the excesses often associated with prog rock. THE VERY BEST OF SUPERTRAMP offers a handy career overview of the band's stylistic evolution. "Crime of the Century" shows the group at its most expansive and conceptual, but the bulk of this collection is in fact occupied ...
