Lorraine Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 So the question is " Anyone here that doesn't like Hemispheres?" right?I knew it would be you to pont that out. Yes, that is the thread question, but the question for the poll is "Do you like Hemispheres"? Well Disk98 doesnt like it so I'll change my answer to yes.OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 35 "yes" votes. 0 "no" votes. Disk, this is looking very, very bad for you. Perhaps you should give Hemispheres a spin on the turntable one more time and see if you missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I wish we could speak freely on albums here without being labelled wrong. I do not think Hemispheres is the bands best work. It is one of their best works. Screw any who say i am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what you, or Disk, or anyone else likes. Although I do admit that it boggles my mind how anyone couldn't like Hemispheres. And Xanadu. Or The Weapon. We all have different taste in music. If we didn't, Rush would have had to have closed up shop thirty years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 There's no real point in looking for some objective yardstick against which to measure what's best or worst. It's more about emotional intelligence than objective standards or "IQ" or whatever. Probably everyone here has some reason for loving certain songs or albums that's tied to a time in their life when they were in a good (or bad) place, or just young, or at a time when they were ready to discover something new and cool. To say someone is "wrong" or "less right" for saying something is the best is pretty much like saying what they feel is wrong, which is bogus. We feel what we feel. I try not to let my ego get bruised if someone thinks I'm cracked for digging Red Lenses, and I hope that when I say things like "Toto's song Georgy Porgy gives me a painful rash" folks understand that one dude's response is pretty meaningless in the big cosmic picture. Everything people write here has an invisible "in my opinion" stuck on the front of it. :finbar: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas7 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hemispheres is Rush do opera like Wagner, listen to Geddy run out of oxygen when he sings, "I will soothe your primal fears." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hemispheres is Rush do opera like Wagner, listen to Geddy run out of oxygen when he sings, "I will soothe your primal fears."That is one of my favorite parts of the song. I love the way Geddy sings that line. I am going to listen to Hemispheres right now to see if I can hear that he is in fact running out of oxygen when he sings it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Georgy Porgy is cheese rock perfection. Fact (IMO lol!) No argument from me. I just don't enjoy that kind of cheese rock, no matter how expensive the cracker may be. It makes me break out in hives. I need a soothing balm. Something like Hemispheres, perhaps. Hemispheres is Rush do opera like Wagner, listen to Geddy run out of oxygen when he sings, "I will soothe your primal fears." He donates his oxygen to me. Hemispheres is like oxygen. It's cleansing and nourishing. Like Lorraine, I'm going to give it a listen, too. I like hearing Lee pour everything he has into a musical performance, to put himself into that kind of danger.

Lorraine Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'm listening to it right now. I'm almost tempted to say that once they recorded Hemispheres, they were never the same. Alex outdid himself on that album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I don't hear him running out of oxygen at all. What am I missing?I'm not quite hearing it either - maybe the very end of "fears" is not totally articulated; the preceding line is pretty long, but there is a small space to take a quick gulp of air. It's a powerful performance, though - I'd imagine Lee would've been pretty lightheaded at the end of it, especially live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
