Hemispheres by a country mile

I wouldn't say country mile for me, but the only thing that would have beat it for me was if Permanent Waves was actually titled Natural Science.

 

Hemi

2112

AFTK

A Farewell To Kings rules as well.  To me, there are only 3 logical choices.

Agreed.

 

For me, AFTK would be on top, followed closely by Hemispheres and 2112.

 

 

Edited to add that I love Clockwork Angels, but old school rules. 1022.gif

Wow, I can't believe someone voted for Presto! unsure.gif

My order with gaps where an order of magnitude decrease in quality occurs:

1. A Farewell to Kings
2. 2112
3. Hemispheres

4. Clockwork Angels (still 10/10 - the other 3 are just MORE perfect)

5. Fly By Night



6. Test For Echo
7. Presto
8. Roll the Bones




9. Vapor Trail

This is almost exactly how I'd rank them (though with 2112/Hemi as 1-2, and AFTK as 3).

Close enough! trink39.gif

Yeah, me 2 - but I would make 2 changes... swap 1 and 3, and swap 6 and 7

Vapor Trail just to annoy you biggrin.gif

I'll assume then that isn't your genuine choice and will merely subtract your vote when looking at the results. wink.gif

No but I certainly like the song yes.gif

2112, A Farewell to Kings, and Hemispheres are all worthy choices. new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

 

The others? Not so much. new_thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif

Sometimes I almost feel bad for always voting for Hemispheres in all these polls. Best album? Best epic song? Best title track? etc. But I think it's all true, Hemispheres really is the pinnacle.

 

Though sometimes, if I know Hemispheres will win anyway, I'll give my vote to another choice I like just to help an underdog wink.gif

Those are the obvious 3 for me, although CA is a pretty awesome track as well.

Yeah, it's pretty good, but not yet worthy of the other three. As someone else said, "Old School rules!"

2112 SLIGHTLY ahead of

Hemispheres

A Farewell to Kings

Clockwork Angels

 

The others aren't even worth mentioning.

I voted Presto just to be a dick.

 

If I'm driving down the road I don't think I'd pick 'Spheres just because it's so long, it's a major ass kicker to be sure but I need to be in the right space for it and 2112...so no.

 

AFTK is a monster, T4E is a fav of mine. Presto & RTB suck. Vapor Trails...eh.

 

CA wins right now just because it's one of the few songs I can sing along with Geddy.
