I remember going to a concert during the Hemispheres tour. Alex was singing backup. Those were the days! ron
Response:
Geddy’s record is great, period… just ask Matt Cameron. His vocals have always been annoying… get over it…

Oh you’re not alone by any stretch. They didn’t used to bother me, but in the last few albums, wooof…those multitrack geddy harmonies with obnoxious FX…. — /" ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Todd H / | http://www.toddh.net/ X Promoting good netiquette | http://triplethreatband.com/ / http://www.toddh.net/netiquette/ | "4 lines suffice."

He’s tastfully held back a bit on this new record. I used to not be able to listen to more than 20 minutes of Rush at a time but Vapor Trails is all I’ve been listening to for about 2 weeks now. Great cd. Peart has written some very impressive lyrics for it. Too bad there aren’t more people like him out there who actually read books and poetry and the like for inspiration. I can only hear the lines "locked inside my head" and words such as "torment" "anguish" and whetever else the Thesaursus offers most new bands. Apologies to any Staind fans. But anyway, back to Rush, great disc. Check it out if you haven’t yet.

anyone check out the new CD yet? Geddy’s playing is very nice, lots of chordal stuff. No synth’s, no solo’s. Different. m

Yeah, got it and have had half a listen to it. Hasn’t grabbed me yet, but none of them ever do until after several listens. I’m becoming increasingly annoyed by Geddy’s voice, and the silly processing they’re doing on it throughout the album makes it even more annoying. I wish Liefson would play guitar again rather than a 6string synth. Neil’s playing is good and interesting. Haven’t scritinized the bass yet. No one made the mistake of buying Geddy’s solo album like I did, did they? Let’s just say that it’s good that Neil writes lyrics for Rush. — /" ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Todd H / | http://www.toddh.net/ X Promoting good netiquette | http://triplethreatband.com/ / http://www.toddh.net/netiquette/ | "4 lines suffice."

I’ve listened through it once so far. > I’m becoming increasingly annoyed by Geddy’s voice, and the silly > processing they’re doing on it throughout the album makes it even more > annoying.
I know exactly what you mean. There’s just something about his voice on this album that’s *way* more annoying than it used to be. > I wish Liefson would play guitar again rather than a 6string synth. > Neil’s playing is good and interesting. Haven’t scritinized the bass > yet.
My first impressions are that the instrumental parts of the album are very good. > No one made the mistake of buying Geddy’s solo album like I did, did > they?
I didn’t buy it. But I got it as a Christmas present. > Let’s just say that it’s good that Neil writes lyrics for > Rush.
Like I said… I’ve only listened to the whole of Vapor Trails once, but the lyrics didn’t seem that great. Maybe that’s one reason Geddy’s voice sounds so annoying… he hasn’t got much interesting to say. Eric

I’d rather listen to it than the radio… they’re making a big stink about the mastering quality on Alt.Music.Rush.

i have listened to it once all the way through on my home system, and now i have it in my car. i have to hear it a few times before i have an opinion, but in the car, the tune "peaceable kingdom" sounded pretty good. peace, jeff
Response:
hmm….. haven’t heard this new album yet, but surely Geddy’s voice is fantastic, but i dunno, theres just something about those vocals that ain’t right!! . . . sorry Geddy!!! – fine bass player though, especially on the older stuff with his ricky. just my 2 cents worth!! BTW – has anyone heard the solo project from alex lifeson? i think its called ‘viktor’? i’ve heard that its pretty good….any thoughts?? l8rs chj www.clive.h.jones.btinternet.co.uk
