This is the record where Rush officially became a progressive rock band. And of all the Rush albums I have, this one has to be the least consistent, albeit not the least successful. If we ignore the first three records, this one has Rush's most successful (Xanadu) and least successful (Cygnus X-1) extended compositions.

Rush is now on the uprising of their goodness and talent. 2112 was incredible, but what next? Of course they break the boundaries with a mix of good classic sounds and hard rock, A Farewell to Kings is a stirring album, and frankly one of my all time favorite albums. Lifeson on Guitar, Lee on Bass, and of course the acclaimed Peart on Drums. A Farewell to Kings is a blend of hard rock and epic sounding power, such as the beautiful remedy of "Xanadu". With one of their best singles on the album "Closer ... Read More
