For the people who listen Rush for the first time, this is the Rush album you need, this is a clear example of their best work. The Rush from the 70's and 80's is an example of creativity, passion and variety, and is just one cd with 16 essential songs.

This is the record where Rush officially became a progressive rock band. And of all the Rush albums I have, this one has to be the least consistent, albeit not the least successful. If we ignore the first three records, this one has Rush's most successful (Xanadu) and least successful (Cygnus X-1) extended compositions. It also has one of their most memorable (Closer to the Heart) and one of their least memorable (Madrigal) songs. Add a pretty good opener (the title track) and another average track (Cinderella Man) and you have the definition of a three-star album. I am glad that I got this, because the good stuff makes it worth the price of admission. XANADU in particular is just marvelous and worthy of all the praise I've seen heaped upon it by Rush fans over the years. However, if you're new ... Read More

The Snakes & Arrows tour was different from the other recent Rush tours in that instead of being a night of Rush Greatest Hits, it actually promoted their latest album, Snakes & Arrows. And a good album it is. This cd does an excellent job of capturing this awesome tour, and as far as performances and sound quality are concerned, this cd is my favorite. Performances: Neil played very well this tour, and is his best since the Vapor Trails tour which left me completely impressed. Tom Sawyer was the best I've ever heard him play it, past or present. His comeback is an inspiration to us all, and he is in top form right now. Alex did awesome as he always does and the intros to Freewill and Spirit Of Radio were tight. Geddy had some rough spots on R30 but he did a great job on this cd. ... Read More

I bought this when it came out in vinyl as my first album. This is classic; I can't believe my taste was that good back then. Not a bad song on here. Even the instrumental YYZ is well worth a listen. If you haven't listened to Rush, then I have to warn you there is often something to get you thinking in the lyrics. I personally think this is their best album overall, but I have probably listened to The Trees off Hemispheres more than any other single Rush song.

So let me get this straight...Cygnus pops out the other side of the black hole finding himself stuck between Apollo and Dionysus with the duty of bringing balance between reason (the mind) and emotion (the heart)? But wait a second, wasn't Cygnus X-1 THE BLACK HOLE? Who exactly is it who brings balance? Is it Geddy Lee? Or maybe Cygnus becomes the the black hole later on? ......Is this a prequel or sequel to Cygnus X-1 Book I? Should I not worry about this and just focus on the music? Yes. Rush's previous 2 records each had remarkable moments (the first 7 or 8 minutes of 2112 and all of Xanadu in particular), but both suffered from inconsistency. Hemispheres manages to produce at least one Rush classic, "La Villa Strangiato", and is more consistent to boot. For instance, I don't think ... Read More

This might not serve as a great review for this album, as I really just call people out for telling me I should stay away from buying it. It just shows me that half of the people who have an opinion on music don't have a clue. They told me the same thing about Led Zeppelin's Prescence album, and that has become one of my favorites! They told me I wouldn't like Pink Floyd's Animals.. I love it! I think Dark Side of the Moon sounds weak and lazy! They said (when I was getting into Maiden) to wait to buy Killers and try something else first. Wrong! I am a little upset, and I want to talk about it. I just picked this album up the other day after thinking about the song "Working Man". No matter how much I explore Rush's other work, in the end, I always go back and listen to this song. I like it ... Read More

Rush, ROCK'S! They are the very best band for 3 guys. I have been a big fan for many, many, years. They were my first concert I went to see (1978)and I have been hooked on them every since. You will not be sorry. T.S

After spending several years conjuring up alien landscapes, doomed space travelers, and Greek gods, Rush got back to earth on this one. Nowhere is this more evident than on on "Spirit of the Radio," which was inspired by listening to rock radio in Toronto. There are tons of good riffs here (even a short reggae-inspired break) and in 1977 or 1978 Rush might have used them to create an extended composition about the battle between an old Norse god and a dwarf. In 1980 they used them to construct a complex, but still concise, catchy rock song warning of corporate rock and arguing for honesty...HONESTY!...in music. It is definitely Rush's calling card (and still sounds vital) even 28 years later. "Free Will" is the other obvious classic here. It has a catchy chorus, fairly preachy lyrics about how each of us is the master ... Read More

Of all Geddy Lee's bass work, the bass line in "Making Memories" is my favorite. He continues on from the eponymous debut album with some truly enjoyable work. I skip over "Anthem" and "Rivendell" most times - but that's just my taste, and the rest of the album I find simply outstanding! Of course a comparison between yesterday's Rush and much of today's "music" is like comparing apples to, well, dirt clods. My thanks to these fellows for giving the world some great music to listen to!
