Rush is my all time favorite band. I have several albums still from high school that are in my possession. Unfortunately, I found that my 2112 was somehow cracked almost in half. Since then I have picked up an older copy and the new 180 gram release. My copy of Exit State Left is sonically horrible. In fact after I cleaned it, I put it on and removed it prior to the first side completed. Hemispheres has always been a favorite of mine, with La Villa Strangiato probably my favorite Rush song. I was very fortunate to take my 11 year old daughter to R40 last year (her first concert, and unfortunately probably the last time she or I will ever see them.) Rock on Rush!!!
rush hemispheres great music
I was lucky enough to come across a mint original copy of hemispheres and wow, what a great recording. Great musicianship and songwriting, amazing drumming. This album has to be one the greatest rock albums of all time. It seems to me that rush is one of those rare bands that even though they were progressive and I do prefer their older music, they never sold out. Great Music!
