Your_Lion Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 HemispheresI wasx waiting in anticipation for your vote......cause i know you love AFTK. Way to go, lol MickThey should have put Xanadu on Hemispheres. Then the album would have defied every superlative known to mankind! :)Then they'd need to put a health warning on it. *caution: Listeners may overdose from the sheer awesome perfection contained within* 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it would still be less than hour long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serves Rush right for not consulting us back then. Had they done so, until the end of the world the music industry would have been talking about the album to end all albums, and no band would have ever been able to musically top it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have Xanadu all be in the same key, instead of squished up for time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hemispheres is my favorite song, but AFTK is my favorite album overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 No super smashup of these two albums can top AFTK's glory. Sincerely,Your official unofficial ambassador of the majesty that is A Farewell To Kings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it will be "mind blowing." :) Yes, I will do that! The only thing I think of as a detraction...it's not really a detraction, but it seems like Book I might be a strange opening track. It would be fine if it weren't for the sci-fi spoken-word weirdness at the beginning. But...I don't know. We shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Aren't we doing all this in the other threads? Why start more?No kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I can't choose, it's a tie. Side two of Hemispheres is excellent, but side one is horrendous. A Farewell to Kings has three great songs in Xanadu, CTTH and Cygnus X-1, but also clunkers like the title track and Madrigal. I'm not a huge fan of Cinderella Man, either.Cinderella Man is a better live track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) I just finished listening to AFTK Again. and again.........other then Xanadu. i fail to see the beauty and/or magic. It's really rather artistically immature and light weight after writing 2112. IMO they nailed it with Hemispheres. just my view.
