The September issue of
Stereophile just hit newsstands last week, and is now available for your reading pleasure. In
"Working Men: Rush Celebrate More Than Four Decades of By-Tor, Geddy Lee's Voice, and the World's Biggest Drum Kit",
Alex discusses the new album and more importantly the mastering. In
addition, he revisits the horrible mastering of Vapor Trails: "...it is a
war. Vapor Trails [2002], for example, was mastered so hot, it really
wrecked the album. I can't listen to that record. It's so flat and has
so much distortion that we really want to remix that record. It was out
of our hands when it was mastered, and the mastering engineer did a poor
job. He's the first one to admit it. He really pushed it."
