chemistry1973 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 The Trees is ridiculous, but the music is fantastic so I still rate the album a 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostworks Posted October 2, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyrically, not so much. But RUSH is mostly about the music, especially early career RUSH. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurabw Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 This is one of my top Rush albums, the first side though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 To me, anything with the sheer genius of La Villa gets an automatic 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted October 9, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
