AnEggplant Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 If you force yourself to sing above your range, as Geddy claims he had to do when he sang Hemispheres, does it hurt your throat? I'm asking because it doesn't sound like he is straining. He had a beautiful voice back then. And I honestly think he sang it great this R40 tour. Considering all the decades that separated him from the making of the album. I wonder if he could have sung the whole song? I think so. Edit: Hahahaha maybe not. We will call you Cygnus, the god of balance you shall be! :dweez: :dweez: :dweez: Throw off all those chains of reasonAnd your prison disappears I'm a guy, I have a normal voice, but for whatever reason I can sing Hemispheres comfortably.
Lorraine Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 Age-51Hemesperes- A+Moving Pictures-A+TieFor me both are Brilliant!I have to admit if I was asked to choose 10yrs ago Moving Pictures would've won as I only really liked The Trees and Laville off Hemisperes. But after much digestion and the test of time I really really love ALL of Hemispheres and probably listen to it more than Moving Pictures today. :Alex: :Neil: :geddy: :rush: Isn't it funny how albums work on you over time? 1

AnEggplant Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Isn't a thread like this supposed to go in Feedback?
Lorraine Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Isn't a thread like this supposed to go in Feedback? Do you see a poll? Don't worry your little 17 year old head about it.
bathory Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 MP probably best demonstrates everything the band was good at, but hemispheres is more "up my alley" with the over-the-top heavy prog style 4
Tombstone Mountain Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 MP easily wins this one. Hemispheres has some great tracks, but the title track is overdone IMO. Circumstances isn't all that and a bag of chips. I think I'll listen to Clockwork Angels to make up my mind
Rushman2112 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Prime mover said it best. "Although it may have been overplayed over the years, MP is still their best IMO. Everything just came together and coalesced on that album. Lyrics, playing, arrangements, production, everything is top notch. And I don't believe they've topped it since." I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Moving Pictures is the greatest album of all time.

Bigbobby10 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 If Witch Hunt wasn't on the album, I honestly think it would be a much closer choice
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Hemispheres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :smoke: 2
JohnRogers Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Eh this tired old thread brought back to life??? Sheesh... Edit: well I'll be a douche bag's sister-in-law this thread is new! Pleased to meet you. Regards to you SIL. John, you forgot to tell us your favorite. Humor me. :)I feel Rush reached their peak of excellence with Permanent Waves. HEMIspheres forecasted that great PeW sound, "side 2" of the album is perfect. In the proper mood Cygnus X-1 Book II often delites. Yet minute for minute I prefer listening to Moving Pictures by a slight edge despite Huckleberry Finn being over played by radio. Look neither of these albums is Counterparts so listen to them loud and listen often.
rocket ignites Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Moving Pictures. Hemispheres comes right after it for me.
fraroc Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I don't know..... I'll let you guys know when I review Hemi.
