An amazing album be Rush. This being their last true proggressive album with epics and Geddy's high vocals, it's a fantastic way to end the 70's for Rush.

The album begins with the continuation on the Cgynus story as it began in A Farewell to Kings. It is in my opinion Rush's best epic. It's conceptual melodic, technical, heavy, scpacy at times, and very powerful. Geddy's vocals soar for the last time as the next album and on from where he sings much, much lower. I personally love his vocals on this album. I also believe this album is quite a bit better than Moving Pictures.

Circumstances is a nice melodic bluesy Rush song in the vien of Something for Nothing and A Farewell to Kings (song) in terms of style. The trees is one of my favorites. The lyrics are great as is the classical guitar.

The Album ends with a crazy and fantastic instrumental based on Alex Lifeson's nightmares. This is one of Rush's best, perhaps the best, and is a masterpiece in my opinion.
