Nova Carmina Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 This is hard, no question; let me take a bite of this honeydew and think about it . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry1973 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hemispheres is a much better album than AFTK, but I prefer Xanadu by leaps and bounds. La Villa should be shorter - the arrangement is so repetitive it seems obvious they’re filling up space. The listener gets beaten to death with the clunky Powerhouse motif. I do love the beginning and the solo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu could be 2/3 its length and lose nothing, as the final third is a repeat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu, at six minutes or even three minutes, I`d still be scratching my chin and thinking I. just. don`t. get. it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
