(OT) Rush - Vapor Trails - (was: Why contemporary music sounds terrible)

["Clint Allen" <clint.allen@gmail.com>]

I remember somebody on this forum posted some information and a link about the production

of Vapor Trails a few years back and some of the technology used at the time. As much

as I love the content on Vapor Trails, I find the production quality far less than previous

albums with an almost distorted sound at times. I'd be interested in reading that again

if anyone still has that info.

 

Thanks!

Hi Chris,
I wasn't commenting on anything about the production or arrangements other
than the over use of limiting in the mastering stage.

I personally prefer Rush's earlier stuff, up to Signals. Farewell to Kings,
Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, and especially Moving Pictures are my faves. I
think I'll pull some out right now and listen to them...

Interesting comment on Vapour Trails. I found it over-produced too,
loads of syrupy background vocal tracks, etc.
One Little Victory is still a great positive song to get your blood
pumping though!

Try comparing Vapour Trails to Test for Echo or Counterparts ... I
think those two have much more clarity and extension in the highs.
