Great piece to play while on the treadmill, too.

I'm in the minority with Circumstances. The way Ged's voice soars up in the chorus. So high, so effortless. Takes you to another dimension. I can feel it in my gut quite literally when he is up there... what a voice! And one of my fav basslines too

Even they think Hemispheres is their most ambitious and complex piece of work. Too bad they didn't consider the key when they wrote it. When Geddy went to record the vocals he hadn't realized it would have to be so high, even for him. This is the main reason they stopped doing it. If you listen to bootlegs from the tour you can hear him struggling to sing it even back then. Permanent Waves marked a clear change of approach vocally as a result.

 

Regardless of that Hemispheres is by far their most interesting work. It is their pre Tom Sawyer masterpiece.

With a gun to my head, La Villa. The first song i listened to off their first 4 albums. Total genius. Cygnus (2) a close second applaudit.gif

It's their sixth album...seventh if you count the live All the World's a Stage.

 

But you're right. La Villa kicks butt!
