savagegrace26 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I voted year but I probably should have gone the other way because I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Hemispheres. This one never gets old. Side 2 especially is sublime.You voted correctly - you voted yes. I'm sorry that my thread title and my poll question are kind of opposite. The question is: do you like Hemispheres? Sixty-one (61) answered yes. Three (3) said no. Can you believe it? Yes, because people have different tastes and preferences regarding music. But anyone who dislikes Presto is f*cking wrong.I can understand disliking Presto because it is not musical genius. Hemispheres is. Your musical 200 "IQ" scale only applies for The Speed of Love. You have to take a different test for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really acheived something remarkable with Presto. It's just way more subtle and nuanced. It's a beautiful record. I recognize Hemispheres "brilliance" for what it is but I'm really glad they did not continue with that overdone bombastic style. That was definitely the "peak" for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a reference in Speed of Love to "two halves" - or is that a different song? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Geddy's voice is beautiful on both of the albums. I think his best seventies voice is on Hemispheres, and his best eighties on Presto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than the Weapon?Yes, voice-wise ( but not better looking - he was the cat's meow in Grace Under Pressure when he did that song ). I noticed that he did different things with his voice on Presto that he never did before or since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 When I first heard the Doors when I was a kid I thought it was Sinatra. Must have been a track off The Soft Parade. I love The Soft Parade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len(songs) Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hemispheres is a Yes wannabe album.In (album) structure, it's pretty close to CTTE (also incidentally my favorite Yes album)... but song-wise it's completely different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
