HEMISPHERES

Every song on this album is great!!! From the Prog Masterpiece Cygnus book II Hemispheres to the nice rocker Circumstances, the great metaphoric "The Trees", and Finally the amazing La Villa Strangiato.

Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres - 10/10 Their best conceptual piece in my opinion! It really draws you in! Gotta give this one a few listens before you can fully appreciate it. My personal favorite song by them period. Circumstances - 8/10 A Great Song. It rocks, the vocals are great, and just makes you want more. I know some progheads don't appreciate this song,and that's fine, but I personally love it. Take it for what it is, a great rocking tune. The Trees - 8/10 Some real nice guitar playing on this one! This one has a meaning , basically inequality. But it's not heavily preachy and doesn't take itself too seriously. Actually the lyrics in this one are few. It's mainly instrumental, and a gem at that. La Villa Strangiata - 10/10 Speaking of instrumentals! The mother of them all!!! This is a must listen. It is their best instrumental by far imo.Alex really shines here. He may not be the best technically, but he is really creative. Gotta give the man credit for that!
