Critic Reviews
I love Rush!!!
To me, this album is where the band perfected their 70's sound. It's powerful and heavy, well-structured and with great melodies.
The two longer tracks are just breathtaking. They don't get boring at any point, even if some parts are repeated. I think the last third of "Cygnus X-1 Book II" could have been better, but that's it. Great long songs.

"Hemispheres", while having some of the strongest moments of Rush's 70s prog career, still isn't able to dethrone "Moving Pictures" as my favorite album of theirs.

the mini bass solo at 6:09 of La Villa Strangiato..thats one of those things that make you think wow music truly is the best thing ever.
Gotta be honest this left me a tad bit disappointed. Rush is band i never really cared to give a listen to, but a friend of mine likes this album so i decided to just do it. There are a couple of great moments here and there, notably, parts of the opener and the whole last song. Talking about the opener, i think it drags a bit too much and there are a couple of boring and uninteresting moments, but its a fine song overall. Overall, its a great album and i feel like it really deserves its ... read more
La primera cancion me arrastra un poco y para sus 18 minutos de duracion siento que el instrumental no hizo mucho por mi creo que las canciones con menos duracion son las que mas me llegaron y el instrumental al final tambien esta solido.
