rush hemispheres great music

I was lucky enough to come across a mint original copy of hemispheres and wow, what a great recording.  Great musicianship and songwriting, amazing drumming.  This album has to be one the greatest rock albums of all time.  It seems to me that rush is one of those rare bands that even though they were progressive and I do prefer their older music, they never sold out.  Great Music!

I personally never got into "Caress Of Steel".

Out of the new remasters I've purchased, I think "Fly By Night" has the better sonics. I haven't bought any past "2112".

Permanent Waves was the beginning of Commercialism...and the end. I have not puchased a new Rush Album since Permanent Waves (yes, saw the show).  Went to see the Vapor show but compared to 2112, Fly By NIght and the older shows, it pretty much SUCKED the BIG ONE.  All I remember were 3 washing machines on stage.  As much as the younger crowd tout Rush, unless you saw them (and heard them) in the beginning, you can't really see how incredible they were.

Honestly 2112 & Waves are dull, bad production. To be exact, they lost their creativity after superb Moving Pictures, one of their very finest. Tom Sawyer reaches Limelight. The pinnacle is right there. Kings, Hemispheres & Pictures defines Rush at finest. All other albums inferior in everything. Period.
