Title: vapor fails
Review: I just bought Rush's Vapor Trails along with Deep Purple's latest, Rapture of the Deep and couldn't have had a more one sided listening experience. What a surprise.My two favorite bands seem to be going in different directions and I`m not talking about musical directions. I can't believe how AWFUL Vapor Trails is, the sound quality is just plain bad, the arrangements feel forced and the songs simply aren't good, let alone memorable. The lyrics are good, but that doesn't matter when the rest of it just sits there. I'm struggling just getting through this thing.On the other hand, Rapture of the Deep is everything Vapor Trails isn't. Great performances, fantastic songs, strong two level lyrics and good sound quality. Deep Purple sound like they are having FUN! Plus, the flow of the album is just outstanding.It's safe to say this is not Rush`s finest hour, but it might be Deep Purple`s.Vapor Trails = 1/2 starRapture of the Deep = 4 1/2 stars
