Lucas Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hemispheres is not only the pinnacle for Rush, made at the height of their creative powers, but it is also one of the greatest albums ever made . . Easy one Meh. Cygnus 2 goes on about 4 minutes too long. Side 2 is perfect tho. I would have loved it if Hemispheres had been a double album Of course, that likely would have killed them! god forbid !! .. they never would have made Presto ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I want is 5.1 Hemispheres. Lucas, I should send you my "Hemispheres special": Cygnus X-1 spliced into the middle of Hemispheres, right before the memory and awareness bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you actually make a track like that, toymaker? This is no BS? Yeah, it kind of made sense to me. Hemispheres references the earlier song, and there's a quiet moment there where it's easy to splice it in. I'll give you the dropbox link if you want to check it out. It's not 5.1, of course.

Pronounced PEERT Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 This was so hard, and Hemispheres is my favorite album, but for me, IN THE END it came down to either having an awesome album with 4 songs on it, or 4 very good albums, with loads of songs. So I am choosing Sigs, GUP, PW, and HYF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Easy. I would rather have Signals, GUP, Power Windows & HYF. Power Windows & HYF are my 2nd and 3rd favorite Rush albums (2112 is my favorite). Signals has my 2nd favorite Rush song of all (Subdivisions) and GUP is a good, strong album. Hemispheres has a very strong 2nd side but side one is just so-so. Its ok. Not bad but nothing special. Frankly, I would probably take any one of the 4 albums over Hemispheres. Its not bad overall but just nothing really special to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I would take Circumstances on its own over that other group of albumsBrilliant track. Some wicked examples of Geddy playing and singing complicated stuff at the same time in that tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Much as I like the albums in the second group, Hemispheres is The Daddy The absolute zenith of their creative powers, and a candidate for the best album I own. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prolix Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 All the greatness of the synths defeat hemispheres. But don't get me wrong Hemispheres is amazing. :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hmm, their best album versus the four that caused them to slowly take a wrong turn. No argument...hemi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Just ordered my HMSPHRS license plate today. What a great album. I still love Signals and GUP but still gotta go with Hemispheres over the other 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
