    The more time one spends with Vapor Trails, the richer and more nuanced it becomes. Consider this an absolute triumph.
  2. PopMatters

    Rush has emerged with more edge and energy than some bands can even dream of.
  3. Blender

    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. [Jun/Jul 2002, p.113]
