chemistry1973 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 The Trees is ridiculous, but the music is fantastic so I still rate the album a 10. 1
ghostworks Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 I mean it's been nine years, maybe I should take another listen Hemispheres (way too long, too many repeated motifs, some incredible musical performances, with some understandably adolescent lyrics)> 6 The Trees (adolescent lyrics again, music is good)> 6 Circumstances (lyrics better, music needlessly clunky, in need of editing)> 6 La Villa Strangiato (ridiculously fantastic performances)> 10 ....so, my average for Hemispheres in 2020: places it a literal 7! Your “7” sounds negative despite 7 being a fairly high score - a “good” rating if in words well, La Villa is skewing the average quite a bit ;) 1

They're still above average.
Fridge Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Their crowning achievement , a supernova in a galaxy of bright stars. 3
Laurabw Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 This is one of my top Rush albums, the first side though.
driventotheedge Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 To me, anything with the sheer genius of La Villa gets an automatic 10. 1
JARG Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 The album gets a 10 even though Circumstances get a 5.
Fridge Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 The album gets a 10 even though Circumstances get a 5. You know I've never understood why so many don't like this track, I find it quite charming lyrically... 3

HemiBeers Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 The standard to which all future albums were impossible to surpass. From the mid 80s on every album could be noted as 'well that's nice in some areas, but not even close to Hemispheres.' 2
