Title: 21st Century Rush
Review: It is easy to understand how persons who became Rush fans during or after the Moving Pictures era would be taken aback by Vapor Trails. Remember this is Rush's first album in a half-dozen years, so there are bound to be some changes. Rush's ability to evolve has contributed to the long-term strength of this talented trio.Vapor Trails has a bass-heavy, in-your-face sound, quite unlike the slick production of previous Rush releases. No synths here, but the musicianship and songwriting are still first-rate, thus proving these guys still have what it takes after three decades. Geddy Lee's vocals are perhaps the best they've ever been, and the harmonies usually work well. The best songs are Ghost Rider, Sweet Miracle, Secret Touch, and Earthshine. Overall, Vapor Trails is a very worthwhile CD that should be part of any Rush fan's collection.
