Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

I'd agree but it's tight. Rush had three good albums after MP, Genesis had two after W&W.. |

MP is a far more cohesive and professional album than Hemispheres. But musically they are equal, with Hem a bit more interesting and certainly more progressive. |

I know when I used to play my vinyl everyday I would spend quite a long time fingering through my collection. It would be, "Ok I fancy some Rush, Which album?, then I would spend more minutes trying to decide, Caress or 2112 or Grace, whatever...all equally good albums,the crux of it is what mode you are in. Just the same as which genre, heavy rock or synth type rock. And also I would say do you want to "listen" to the album or just play it like back ground music.

Hemispheres has aged well for me personally, better than MP. Also I saw Rush many times on that tour. So its Hemispheres all the way. A Farewell to Kings is better though.

I would go...
Hemispheres...1000 prog points. Farewell to Kings....850 prog points. 2112... 800 prog points. Permanent waves 700 prog points. Moving pictures...500 prog points. Caress of Steel...400 prog points. Fly by night...380 prog points. The rest isn't prog.... |

Even though it was my first Rush album, I now feel Moving Pictures is a bit overrated.
Hemispheres wins this one by a mile!

Moving Pictures over Hemispheres though they are both very good.....but actually like Farewell To Kings and Permanent Waves better than either.

There are no right or wrong answers. The sin as you say is not listening to an album before you review it.

No torture at all, it´s absolutely Hemispheres for me. Moving Pictures is of course good, but greatest albums from Rush are 2112, a Farewell & Hemis.

I realise I’m in the minority here on PA, don’t worry My tastes in music are most likely horrendous to a lot of folks out there, but then again they’re mine I don’t hear these albums as masterpieces, but I do like them. I know quite a few who love them like you do. (3 stars over PA though is a good rating. I do however believe that many members feel the exact opposite. I’ve seen some very scathing 3 star reviews where the reviewer had no intention of ever listening to said album again..which is madness imo.) |

I don't listen to Rush much anymore. I definitely will not listen to anything after Signals. But prior to that, Hemispheres is my least favorite album. LVS is a good song, but the title track bores me to tears. That ends up being half the album. So for this vote its got to be MP.

I get that MP has a number of Rush classics but they just don't do much for me for some reason. Even Tom Sawyer is just ok imo. I'd much rather listen to anything that came before MP to be honest, except maybe the debut.

Moving Pictures for me I like every track from it. From Hemispheres I only really dig La Villa Strangiato.

I like both albums about equally. Not a massive fan though. I vastly prefer Signals to either album.
Granted, Hemispheres s’got the Villa and Moving Pictures doesn’t quite have a similar humdinger of a track...but then again the Villa is the only track I listen to off of Hemispheres. Moving Pictures is more even across the board. Two solid 3 star efforts in my book |
