Never saw this, I'll reply 2 years later! Wasn't a fan of 80's Rush in general after Moving Pictures mainly down to the over-use of synths and Alex Lifeson guitar style at the time. I know many rate those 2 albums but they're fairly average in my book. Signals I would say is the best of the 2 though. I actually prefer all the albums in this poll with the exception of Roll The Bones to those 2.

Yes I really like it too. Do you prefer the original or remix?

My favourite is Snakes and Arrows, their best album since Moving Pictures IMO.

I haven't heard the remixed version actually, but I love the original's raw sound. Vapor Trails has been one of my favorite albums of all time for quite a few years.

If it was one of your favourites you might find the remix too different for your liking and the raw edge has definitely gone. Personally I'm on the fence which I prefer.

Yeah, I honestly didn't get why so many people complained about the production. I thought the raw sound fitted perfectly with the stuff Peart was going through at the time.

But I like more Test for Echo, then comes Roll the Bones and Counterparts. The Vapor Trails remixed (2013) are very good, more clear (the sound).

Sometimes I feel it's Angels, then Snakes, Counterparts then others LOL

Test for Echo is a pretty good album, I gave it 4 stars. I don't understand why people dislike it Confused

I don't understand it either

The last two synth heavy albums seem to not get much love from some people and I don't know why(they are classic Rush). To me their golden age was from 1974 - 1987 (Rush through Hold You Fire)  Wink
I love the sound on those two albums, but I don't think the songwriting was quite as consistently excellent as it was all the way from 2112. There are gems in there (Mystic Rhythms might even be my Rush favourite) and overall they are very very good albums. Just not quite as good as what came before.
