Quintessential prog-rock listening. Certainly there is that 70's "sci-fi/fantasy" aspect to the lyrics that was always a mainstay in prog rock (see: Yes). But lovers of prog should welcome that side of it anyways. Rush is in top form here and having had worked with Neil Pert for a few years is really starting to show on this album, not only in the concept album story-telling lyrical sense, but musically as well, as the trio has reached a level of playing and composition here that is parralled by few at this time.
