RUSH


RUSH
A FAREWELL TO KINGS (1977)
REMASTER
320 KBPS

One the best albums by RUSH and the most "Progressive effort" as well, except on a few prolix parts (anyway such defect typically belongs to almost the whole music stuff in the seventies, so never mind...). The suite "Cignus X1" for instance is a classic which can put into the list of some 20-30 "progressive songs" to have in a desert island, but also the other tracks are well worth checking out. The unique minor defect (if you admit that is true that's a problem...) there's not a great pathos or emotional feeling,as this concept album was constructed in a perfect way,from the point of view of the harmonic solutions...but never mind once again, because a certain fascination always remains.

1. A farewell to kings
2. Xanadu
3. Closer to the heart
4. Cinderella man
5. Madrigal
6. Cygnus X-1

    thanks. I am fan of Rush. Yes indeed this album is tight. Less melodic may be but I always feel the anger when I listen it.
