Hemispheres, it's not even close, though Presto is half a very good album, just too much filler.   Hemispheres on the other hand is absolutely captivating and riveting from start to finish.

Without sounding pedantic...any "man" who would choose to stir the emotions of a woman, to really seek to cause offense, is a pig.   That he chooses to do it on a forum where he cannot be identified,

"Hemispheres vs Presto: the final battle". Is this really being fair to Presto? If I was Presto I'd fake an injury to get out of this match..

Presto is better than Hems. Recent listenings confirm this.

 

Nothing wrong with Hems. Faultless. But Presto's high points are the everest to Hems hill in holland.

After ~25 posts of him freaking out about Ebola in SOCN and getting pissy when other people aren't sharing his concerns, and his Spaghetti-worship were enough for me.

 

Anyway, this is a top 3 album vs. a bottom 3 album. Hemispheres 4 lyfe.

They make a good windmill.

And a sturdy pair of shoes. If you like splinters.

Presto is my favorite Rush studio album by far. Absolute perfection from Show Don't Tell to Available Light.

 

I like Hemispheres a lot too.. but no contest here.

Actually I am not surprised. Our bi-polar love affair never lets up.

Hemispheres wins! Anyone with ears knows that.

 

Except Segue's conflicted ears.

Its great but I never feel compelled to play it. That is what confuses me. When I play it, I love it so much. Then I put it away.

 

But as for Presto, I can play it on repeat all day and it still isn't enough. I WANT MORE OF IT!

 

So whilst Hemispheres is the better album, Presto is the more enjoyable.

 

One is like The Citizen Kane, the other Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Now, technically one is a masterpiece, the other simply ultra enjoyable fluff. I am drawn to the fluffy. Let me have it!
