I came around to more Prog Rock via Pink Floyd and then King Crimson, and like any genre of music there is good and bad to discover, and to my surprise I found the good to include Rush, Yes and early Genesis. All three I would've turned my noise up to 20 years ago, maybe it's an age thing...
Here we have Rush's best album for me, the 20 minute title track is very interesting and seems to pass quite quickly, I don't hear anything wrong with Geddy Lee's vocals which seem to put some off. The album does perhaps fade somewhat towards the end but there is still enough quality here by far. [First added to this chart: 06/14/2016]

Just the four tracks here, firstly Cygnus X-1: Book II follows on from the final track on A Farewell To Kings, it is suitably epic. Circumstances is ok but possibly the weakest track here while The Trees is excellent and one of my faves. Finally we have the 9 minute instrumental La Villa Strangiato, not being a fan of instrumentals in general, I do have to confess that this is pretty good and well worth a listen.
