Title: The 5-year wait was worth it!!
Review: While Vapor Trails may not show the range that earlier Rush albums have (Test for Echo or Signals, for example), the disc has an emotional drive that we haven't seen since Moving Pictures (although T4E came pretty close). The boys from up north have stripped down the sound and created quite a charge.... It's sort of like taking off the gloves and going bare knuckles.Still, the songs are layered and have the classical Rush timbre and richness, and Niel hasn't missed a step in the lyrics department. Ghost Rider is full of beautiful harmonies, and the edge in Nocturne does a great job of genre bending...this is no Chopin, kiddies. In the past whenever I picked up the newest Rush album, I listened to nothing else for two weeks. Not going to do anything different with this one. Holy cow, it's good to have the boys back!
