We, the undersigned fans, are unanimous in our belief that Vapor Trails is among Rush's finest work. It is a vibrant statement of passion and emotion, and a landmark album in the career of one of the longest lived and most prolific bands. It is the album that many thought would never happen, and its release was greeted with joy and excitement by Rush fans the world over.

However, the brilliance of the music is sadly overshadowed by the production. Heavy-handed compression and limiting have resulted in an album that sounds strangled, beaten, and not up to the usually high standards of a Rush album. The euphoria of hearing new music from our favourite band was only matched by our dismay at the terrible sound quality.

For a well-written and detailed analysis of the problems with Vapor Trails' production, please visit this website: http://web.archive.org/web/20031208110318/www.prorec.com/prorec/articles.nsf/articles/8A133F52D0FD71AB86256C2E005DAF1C

We request that Anthem Records remaster Vapor Trails in order to give the album the life and sparkle that such a work of art truly deserves!

    • I'm mainly signing the petition becuase I think it's unfair that all the studio albums have been remastered except VT. It's my opinion that VT isn't as bad as people make it out to be, but I can understand where it does have its limitations in production. Personally I think it is their greatest record.

    • Please remaster Vapor Trails and release it in the near future. I have come to enjoy this CD (as I have many other Rush CD's) and would purchase it again if a remaster was made available (as I have with other Rush remastered CD's). Thank you.

    • Worked like H to reduce the dang clipping with cooledit, but that can't fix what was lost. Please remaster those fantastic songs. It is a crime to leave so many people without the real sound of Vapor Trails.
