Segue Myles Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Moving Pictures is better. Half of Hemispheres is trash. Which half? I felt like you once...then the change took hold and now I love it all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Moving Pictures is better. Half of Hemispheres is trash.The first four tracks on Hemispheres are perfect, then I turn over the CD to listen to the other side, and my CD player refuses to play it http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/confused/confused0006.gif Edited April 17, 2016 by Your_Lion 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TemplesofLamneth Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hemispheres hands down. It was Rush's magnum opus. The insturmental arrangements, time & mood signatures, lyrical styling etc. Everything was perfect. Its deff their most genius and complicated album without a shadow of a doubt. I still get lost in La Villa Strangiato. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get lost in any song. I find bliss and enlightenment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didn't know he was having them as early as Hemispheres. ;) Edited April 20, 2016 by Blue J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Is this thread a joke? Comparing an epic progressive rock masterpiece to a fuckking cliche, corporate commercial rock record? Hilarious. I'm embarrassed by this novice thread. Fanboi Foolishness. Go with your MTV Radar Rectum. Even Geddy Alex and Neil know that they peaked with "Hemispheres." Their energy was spent. They had to scale it back hence created "Permanent Waves." I've read many interviews about that section of time. They were out of ideas and had a very hard time putting out a new record. Then "Moving Pictures" comes out and everyone jumps on the corporate bandwagon. Yet "2112" was everything but what "Moving Pictures" taught the musical world. Hypocritical Homage to Hogs And Hyenas! Enjoy your commercial splendor! "2112" saved the band's bacon. Not fukking "Moving Pictures." "A Farewell To Kings" and "Hemispheres" are IT! The true trifecta of progressive grit. Get it? Do the math. It's simple. 2+1+1+2+A+F+A+R+E+W+E+L+L+T+O+K+I+N+G+S+H+E+M+I+S+P+H+E+R+E+S= BLISSAlright you crazy bastard, think about this...

TemplesofLamneth Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 @RushHead Vapor Trails was amazing.... Especially Ghost Rider, vapor Trails and Secret Touch. It was like Niel was letting everyone know he'd be ok. The sound quality was shit but considering how long it took to write and record the album its understandable that it was ost likely rushed. Two solutions: Vapor Trail Remixed or good headphones. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
