4 stars I want to give this five stars in the worst way.

I find this to be by far Rush's most underrated album. The first three songs are good hard rock songs that, like many have pointed out, shows their Led Zeppelin influences. They are, unfortunately, what holds the album back from being a full-fleged masterpiece. They are just not up to par with the last two songs. "The Necromancer" and "The Fountain of Lamneth" sum up everything I love about early Rush. The fantasy aspect is my favorite part. Musically, they are very complex and well-structured.

This really is one of my favorites and is probably third on my list of Rush albums, after "Farewell" and "Hemispheres", which teeter back and forth for first place. I highly recommend it for the two epics, which are just amazing. Just about as close to five stars you can be without getting it. 4.5 Stars.
