HEMISPHERES

Rush is one band that has extraordinary musicians, very talented indeed and this album shows some nice stuff!!! But its not their best in my opinion ( Moving Pictures is) as so many claim it is! Having said that...the album is very good! Yet something quite peculiar happens to me with this album. Normally I find the epic tracks of an album to be their best, at least in that album. But here its the complet oposite! Strange, but true! I find Hemispheres to be a good song, but not up there with the other great epics of prog, while the other three songs are among Rush´s best. I have soft spot for The trees...I love that song! really great, nice acoustic intro! Circumstances is also very good full of riffs and...french! And then there is the instrumental...great job here! Has a nice epic touch to it...I really like Greedy´s bass here!

All in all it´s one of Rush´s best, definitly a classic and any prog fan should have it! 4/5!!!
