len(songs) Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Actually, if we broke FOL down by parts I would say In The Valley, but since it's not broken down I still say Bastille Day

Segue Myles Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Easy. I love this album, and the best reason to explain why is simple: Track One. 1
Bytor1958 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 The Necromancer.. It also has that LOTR thing going for it.
Segue Myles Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Bastille Day- 10/10I Think I'm Going Bald- 9/10Lakeside Park- 9/10The Necromancer- 10/10The Fountain Of Lamneth- 9/10 How on earth can I really be expected to pick a favourite song? CoS is bettered only by AFTK as an album, counting only the seventies. Rock and Roll heaven!

CoS through to Presto is my favourite album streak of any band or artist ever. Picking a firm favourite out of this lot is virtually impossible. ATM it is GUP.
Lorraine Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Troutman sent me a Rush book, and last night I was reading about Caress of Steel. Did you know they recorded the album in three weeks? Amazing what you can do when you are young! :) :codger:

GeddyLee Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 My favorite is Lakeside Park, so I vote for that! 1
Segue Myles Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Lakeside Park is splendid! But CoS is a 9.5/10 for me.
R2U1S1H2 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 wouldn't it be fitting if they did I think I'm going bald, on the next tour? Alex should grow his hair out again… or can he??
micgtr71 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 I am going to pull this out again this week. Fantastic record. Side two is excellent!
Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Just got this on Christmas from iTunes. Certainly extremely awesome! After listening all the way through twice, I'm really struck by the emotion in Ged's voice, mainly during the two epics. Though I've yet to delve into the lyrics and story, I can tell some really awesome stuff is going on during both "The Necromancer" and "The Fountain Of Lamneth" story wise. Honestly both are about equal for me, with "Bastille Day" just barely behind. I like "Lakeside Park," and "I Think I'm Going Bald" makes me laugh more than want to skip the track, but neither one stands up to the other three tracks by a long shot. In the end I went with "The Fountain Of Lamneth," only because it's the longest of my three top picks, but they're all great. It's an awesome record.
Mithrandir Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I have been listening to this lately and it does indeed kick ass! I voted for The Necromancer. I also think ITIGB is a fine tune. the guitar work is excellent!!
rock n roll over Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Bastille Day. The one-two punch of Bastille and Anthem on ATWAS is one of the greatest moments in rock.
