"Hemispheres" is not a masterpiece.

It is, to date, the album's weakest Rush I listen.A regression in relation to its predecessors, "2112" and "A Farewell to Kings. " This album is the proof that my favorite band's stage is the one that started "Permanent Waves" in 1980.

Even here the epic "Cygnus X-1" is disappointing, not having the same force "2112. " It seems to go from nothing to nowhere.Fortunately is better than his first one, presented in the previous album.The two small tracks that follow it, "Circumstances" and "The Trees" has nothing special, but "La Villa Strangiato" is an epic instrumental as never seem.Great!

5 stars: La Villa Strangiato

3 stars: Cygnus X-1

2 star: Circumstances, The Trees

Average: 3.00

3 stars
