Title: Brilliant, sparkling, luminescent!
Review: Rush have really outdone themselves, giving long-time fans like me the Rush album we've dreamt of. Vapor Trails is vibrant, immediate, dark, emotive, and powerful, and will rank up among "Moving Pictures" and "2112" as a seminal work in their career. The songs are organic -- they've abandoned the everpresent keyboards that have been on their albums since 1977 -- and direct. Neil Peart has set a new standard for himself with the lyrics -- moving from his familliar role of 'observer/reporter' to a place more personal, perhaps to a place more painful. The band has maintained their integrity, drive, professionalism, and dedication to their fans -- and Rush fans everywhere can be grateful that they stuck together through the pain and uncertainty of the last five years. Incredible!
