A FAREWELL TO KINGS

A step up from 2112 (not that 2112 was bad mind you). Definately a classic, and it leads to more greatness! ANyway I'll do a song by song. A Farewll to Kings - 9/10 - Great opening track, it just gets you excited to hear more. At least it does me anyway. Alex's intro is mesmerizing. Xanadu - 10/10 - Great Epic keeps things going strong! I could tell you why this is great, but you should just listen to it if you haven't already!!Alex's guitar is awesome! I love it live. Closer to the Heart - 8.5/10 - Ok it's not prog, but so what!? It's a great and moving song! Definately not filler! Cinderella Man -8/10- Another good quality tune! Has meaning and really gets you thinking. One of the songs that got my wife appreciating rush, so that's saying something! Madrigal - 7.5/10 - A Solid song, a little slow but I like it alot. It really contrasts with whats coming up next and I think it works well. Kind of a juxtaposition.Once again I don't find it to be filler like some people have said, but hey to each his own! =) Cygnus X-1 -10/10- The other Epic masterpiece on this album. Awesome Bass intro! Two 10's on one album are enough to be a 5 imo, even if the rest sucked, but it doesn't. You get one hell of an album here folks!
