A FAREWELL TO KINGS

This rush album was a bit of a let down for me, it was the third i bought after 2112 and moving pictures and almost made me lose intrest or it did make me lose intrest in rush for a long time. The opening song is very good the title track A farewell to kings open with sweet acustic guitars and a soft melotrone very very good then heavy guitars kick in and the real song starts a good heavy rocker. Xanadu is no doubt the best song on the album a great mini epic after that my problem with the album starts. in opoist of the last album 2112s short songs which i liked the ones on this one dont realy do anything for me they are simply not good in my opinion or they are all oaky i gues but nothing that moves me. And then the closing track another long almost mini epic have soem intresting parts but as a whole it yust dont do much for me. Most people seems to think theis is thiere masterpcie not for me tough. A great first half and a mediocre second half.
