5 stars Cities full of hatred, fear and lies!

Wonderful album. 3 great songs make this a worth of purchase. Though Geddy's vocals are quite annoying sometimes, the music just corrects everything.

A Farewell To Kings is an amazing rocker with prog elements. Amazing musicianship from every member. The chorus is just damn great. This could have been made to a 20min epic. And the guitarsolos, oh my god how much emotion...

Xanadu might be the best song. Everything is quite in place here. Sometimes I find myself listening to this 5 times a row. Damn great song.

Closer To The Heart, a filler? Naah, a great rock song. I like this one.

Cinderella Man is quite streched, but still wonderful Rush song, the chorus is the weak link but awesome song anyway.

Madrigal is quite nice shorty. Giving some time to relax before Cygnus, which is a damn great rocker. The intro last like 4 minutes which is quite long but the the last 6 is darn amazing.

4½ so 5 stars! A must have!
