It is awfully hard to follow up on an album that is widely considered to be a masterpiece.

Well, Rush was most certainly up to the challenge. With "A Farewell to Kings", Rush released their most fluent and brilliant album up to that point. For the first time in their discography, there are no weaknesses whatsoever, it is completely balanced. "Caress of Steel" leaned on their epics and "2112" on it's epic title track. "Farewell" is a masterpiece from start to finish, no doubt in my mind. They also progress their sound a lttle. It is more symphonic than their previous outings. They get further away from their hard rock roots and continue to develop their signature sound. This is essential to any prog rock collection.
