I think I've only listened to this once, but I really like Rush and I remember enjoying it, I'll have to give it another listen soon for sure. Also, I don't think I said this at the time, RIP Neil Peart.

As awesome an album as was ever released.
Side one is one of Rush's patented epic concept sides exploring the human battle between heart and mind.
Side two is three diverse songs including the lyrically brilliant Circumstances, prog's greatest metaphor in The Trees, and one of the greatest if not the greatest instrumentals ever in La Villa Strangiato. All three perfect 10/10.
As always, the musicianship is totally off the charts supreme throughout.

I don't think anything here is peak Rush (as in top 5 or maybe even top 10 songs), yet it's still my 2nd favourite overall. One of their rare albums which is just a flat line in terms od quality, rather than having better and worse moments. I've not heard it in some time but I'm confident it still ranks in the top 100 albums I've ever played.

Many good things to say about this release. The first song Cygnus X-1 & The trees are excellent prog rock tunes. This was my first Rush tour & each concert they've always performed La Villa Strangiato; a classic.
