Great album; I'd say it's Rush's 4th best. The title track is astounding, albeit not especially cohesive. The remainder is even stronger, in my opinion, particularly Passage to Bangkok, Tears, and Something for Nothing. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

This is my brother George's favorite album of all time. I remember when we used to listen to this twice a week on our way to church, but for some reason, we just never got past the first track Razz I was in fifth grade at the time, my brother in eighth, and we were both just getting into music.

But yeah, it's certainly an extraordinary album, despite how it influenced bands like Symphony X.

The title track is one of the best examples of prog rock possible.

Great album! This is the one that made all of my friends want to grow up to play drums in a rock band!

Passage to Bangkok will always be one of my favorite songs, although the live version on Chronicles is better in my opinion -- especially that amazing guitar solo!

Our first stop is in Bogota
To check Columbian fields
The natives smile and pass along
A sample of their yield
Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco, and the East,
Fly by morning light

We're on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
We'll hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best

Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon
We burn the midnight oil
The fragrance of Afghanistan
Rewards a long day's toil
Pulling into Katmandu
Smoke rings fill the air
Perfumed by a Nepal night
The Express gets you there
