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.

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.

Audio Mixer: David Leonard .

Recording information: Reaction Studios, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (01/2001-11/2001).

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

Personnel: Alex Lifeson (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandola); Neil Peart (drums, cymbals).

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!

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!
