Our Take

Alright alright alriiiight, strap yourselves in and get ready to blast off into the progressive rock stratosphere with Rush's iconic album, "Hemispheres."

From the mind-bending time signatures to Geddy Lee's vocals that can only be described as otherworldly, this album is like a musical rollercoaster that takes you on a journey through space and time. The interplay between Lee's bass, Alex Lifeson's guitar, and Neil Peart's drums is so tight, it's like they're all connected by some cosmic force only they can understand.

The epic opener, "Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres," sets the tone for the entire album with its complex arrangements and mind-blowing solos. It's like Rush took everything that was great about prog rock and cranked it up to 11.

And let's not forget about the standout track, "La Villa Strangiato," which is a 9-minute instrumental masterpiece that showcases the band's virtuosity and creativity. It's a sonic landscape that you can get lost in for hours.

Overall, "Hemispheres" is a must-listen for any music lover who wants to experience the full power and glory of Rush at the peak of their prog rock powers. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let the music take you on an interstellar journey you won't soon forget. Rush, you've done it again.
