This will get some boos from the audience, but I never really got off on La Villa. I thought it was kind of a weak way to end the album.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

^Oh dear. ^^I can see how you would think that, the song seems kind of pointless at first; like the subtitle says, "an exercise in self-indulgence." But I interpret the song as an instrumental depiction of the reason-emotion dichotomy that forms the main theme of the album.

Circumstances, easily. Really good song with the clever lyrics and the festive middle, but it doesn't even hold a candle to the three other monsters.

The Trees
I can take or leave that song, these days. It's nothing special. I prefer the lyrics, riffs and feel of 'Circumstances' Hemispheres is flawed, but has moments of brilliance, and La Villa.. is arguably their finest work, so The Trees is a fairly easy choice for me.

It's all brilliant except Circumstances which is great. For me it would be more interesting if you had split Lamneth, 2112 and Hemispheres into there individual songs. I think I will

The Trees for me. Circumstances is too static for me. The bridge is fantastic in The Trees and welcomes a wonderful Lifeson solo.

No bad songs on this one, five stars all the way! Rampant fanboysim restrained, I voted Circumstances.
