Hemispheres vs. Presto: The Final Battle

[len(songs)]

Presto is awesome

 

Let's not go overboard here.

 

Hemispheres is a 10

 

Presto is a 9.5

Hemispheres is an F or a 10.

Presto is a 7, though close to 8.

If you posted any more often about John Mcferrin, I'd start to suspect he's an alias of yours, or better yet a character of your creation.

First line: "I don't like Rush."

 

Hmm... Well played

I post the links in case anyone thinks I'm saying that Hemispheres "fails". Like I said in TOST my main area of intrigue on the site is the rating scale, though I have seen many of the reviews to see how they're applied.

 

Also, keep in mind that I disagreed with many of his Yes ratings. OYE in particular I thought he rated 5 grades too high...

an album with no flaws vs an album with quite a few?

 

hemispheres is the clear winner but I can see someone, maybe if they're not a fan of hard rock or prog rock or rock music in general, preferring presto.

A fan of adult contemporary perhaps?.... :D

Hemispheres is joint number one with AFTK and HYF for me.

 

Presto has Chain Lightning.

 

Got stuck.

 

Voted Presto.

 

Makes no sense.

Makes sense to me. The poll has two different questions: better and like more.

 

Hemispheres is better. Higher highs, especially musically. I probably like Presto more, however, as a whole. Much better lyrical highs, for sure.

Although I adore the title track, Show Don't Tell, The Pass and Hand Over Fist, I feel like this should've been called The Final Curb Stomping.

 

Hemispheres. By a long, long way.

Yikes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curb_stomp

 

Nah, even the Rush songs I claim I can't stand aren't this bad...

 

The Final Curb Stomp is Miley Cyrus covering The Beatles' "A Day In The Life", that would be horrible. Good thing we at least haven't sunk that low yet.

This thread is a joke, right?

Thanks Lorraine, the forum has been so dull after S. Lee left.

 

So Hemi is the clear winner of course, but after the Final Battle, does the Awesome (Hemi) and the Sucky (Presto) become united in a single, mediocre sphere for the eclectic Rush fan? I wouldn't know as my interest in '80/'90s Rush ends after GUP.

Is SavageGrace banned?

Oh, come on!

 

I prefer to think of it as a single, wonderful, multi-faceted sphere.

He's been gone for nearly a full day, which is uncharacteristic.

He brought on a lot of the shit he got, then complained about it. Very telling.

 

He didn't bother me either - I had him on ignore But I did see the countless idiotic threads he started show up in the "new thread" area on the main page.

Without sounding pedantic...any "man" who would choose to stir the emotions of a woman, to really seek to cause offense, is a pig.

 

That he chooses to do it on a forum where he cannot be identified, makes me think he is a pathetic person.

 

He admitted he hated the nice guy everyone else likes the other day. He is just one of those loser nerds who must think the whole world owes him respect.
