The release of Vapor Trails marked the first studio album for the band in six years (since Test for Echo in 1996). Long known for purposeful stylistic changes that defined individual albums as well as delineated the larger-scale phases of their recording career, Vapor Trails brought a shift in many fundamental aspects of the Rush sound as it had evolved over the years. On Vapor Trails there are no keyboards, no traditional guitar solos, and no processed-guitar tones. Instead, Vapor Trails uses a more purified guitar tone, lots of vocal, guitar and even bass overdubs, and an overall darker tone to the music and lyrics. All in all, Vapor Trails offers a dramatic rethinking of Rush's fundamental musical mores, suggesting that they have embarked on yet another new direction. However, it seems that Rush still will maintain a progressive edge as many of the songs feature odd meters, e.g. alternating 6/4, 5/4 and 4/4 in "Freeze". The album has sold over 340,000 copies since its release. Test for Echo is the sixteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1996 (see 1996 in music). ...

Rush: Vapor Trails (2002): Reviews (624 words)
Vapor Trails is a great, straight-forward hard rock album from a band that actually seems to be getting better as it ages.
Vapor Trails combines the cartoonish familiarity of Geddy Lee's helium-tinged vocals and [Neil] Peart's hyperkinetic drumming with the tuneful, concise writing they've favored since 1989's Presto.
Vapor Trails is Rush's most focused effort in many years, thanks to a renewed emphasis on songwriting.
