Yup, over bearing, too loud, distorted etc. That's what I meant by VT sucks. Though not my favorite Rush album by any means it would be a lot better if one could actually hear it properly. I think perspective on Rush albums depends on age too. I go back a ways. I've seen them live 30 + times now as of the VT tour going all the way back to 2112. Everything up to Counterparts was awesome. Since then....Eh.

BTW, Alex Lifeson and Son were the driving force behind the R-30 DVD engineering and it sounds great. So hopefully they have learned there leason and this new Rush Replay DVD collection will be as good. However they do have to work with the original material. No matter I already have it ordered from Amazon!
