blueschica Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Happy Birthday to one of my Rush favorites- A Farewell to Kings!! It was originally released on September 1, 1977. Enjoy the glory that is Xanadu! :heart: (and the pic I totally lifted from Danforth & Pape's FB page. They sell awesome t shirts.) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Love this album! Was for a couple of years my favourite, but Hold Your Fire, Vapor Trails and more recently Hemispheres have taken over my listening schedules. Flawless. I cannot think of many albums of any erabmore beautiful than this. I love the medieval vibe and the heavy arrangements. I also love The three songs that get the most flack around here: Closer To The Heart, Cinderella Man and the beautiful Madrigal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 My favourite song is the title track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Bay Rush Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I call this the "Leap Forward" album because the musicality between AFTK and 2112 is massive. Almost like a new band... synthesizers, Taurus pedals, 12 string guitars, and Neil's additional percussion instruments make AFTK a HUGE album for them and brought them the boost they needed after 2112. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 AFTK Such majesty only comes along once in a very long time. When they turn the pages of history, and these days have passed long ago, they’ll remember this as the landmark is still is. Happy birthday! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the way you worded it my friend, if I hadn't taken into account who wrote it is have just assumed you had bought it around the time it was released and moved on haha! I also know you have moved to Italy so I get you also feel pride in having not lost your copy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimsonmistymemory Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 A TRUE classic!!!As :rush: has proved time & time again in producing one of a kind albums. One of the 1st few I had collected when I became a "Full Time" :rush: fan! AFTK is such an album the likes of which will never ever, ever be able to be duplicated or reproduced! Maybe remastered by the geniuses themselves but that's it!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 An end to end awesome album.I think it's a high point of early Rush. I even like a bit better than 2112 (tough competition) and Hemispheres. Incredible '70's album that betters other albums... not like there was not much competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JD Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Great album. I remember the first time I heard it when it was released and thinking “they just keep getting better!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
