Negative Positive
Title: disappointed-- been a fan since 1981
Review: These guys are rush, they do what they want. They've always done what they wanted. They had to have signed off on how bad this thing sounds. From the outset it is a barrage of sound that hides anything that could be signature for these guys. You have to strain to hear Alex's solo's...what??? Your Alex lifeson.. a guitar legend!!! Turn up your solo bud!!! Geddy has no precision to his sound. Its blended so well you can't hear any one element.. The same guy wrote the bass lines to red barchetta...ugh...Neils kick is somewhere in the mix but again blended to well who knows. No matter where I tweak this I can't get it to pump without something else sounding like crap. I listen to vinyl run through parametric eq then graphic then through sennheiser headphones. I can put the first rush album on (1974) and with a few tweaks I can make it sound MUCH, much better.
Is the review positive or negative?
