I wonder why this album is not among the Top 200 albums. EDIT: i was wrong, it needs 200 votes, since it is Top 200. Sorry.

Awesome album. It's a pity Rush lost the touch after "Show Don't Tell" because it was such an amazing progressive hard rock band back in the days. I still love the 70s and 80s stuff when I'm in the mood for something less aggressive (compared to Thrash and Black Metal) but I've never been able to enjoy their 90s and 00s stuff.

The trees has possibly the best lyrics ever. Whether you take it as some social-political metaphor or a just a cute story about fighting foliage its hilarious

This album is brilliant.

This is completely amazing. Rush's best albums are essential for prog rock fans.
---- Crackhead Megadeth reigns supreme.

Prog masterpiece IMO. The first song is EPIC

Clearly one of their best albums. For me only outperformed by Moving pictures, while pretty much at par with 2112. What I like with this album is that it is their only album where I can enjoy each song (then again there are only four of them). I might enjoy the final track marginally more than the other three -- however, this might be the case with first track on another day; it is also excellent. Unfortunately, I cant really get into any other of their albums after MP.

One of the greatest prog albums ever, a true masterpiece if there ever was one. La Villa Strangiato is my favorite song here, still blows me away every time I hear it even after all these years.
