Hemispheres

I wasx waiting in anticipation for your vote......cause i know you love AFTK.

 

Way to go, lol

They 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*

That would have been perfect except it would have had to have been a double album. Which would be even better. They could have extended Xanadu to 20 minutes. :)

Hmmm...or keep Xanadu as is, put it on side B, with Cygnus Books I & II on side A.

 

And it would still be less than hour long.

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.

I may just put this album together when I get home tonight.

It would be nice to have Xanadu all be in the same key, instead of squished up for time.

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

I forget that we can do things like that now. Blue J, put it together and let us know how it sounds. 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...

I believe I'll call it "King Hemispheres".

 

:D

 

How about A Farewell To Hemispheres?

 

I thought about that...but I don't want the title to make it sound like the last time I'd ever listen to it.

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.

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.
