Hemispheres is better.
My opinion is more qualified than yours because I'm a Rush buff.

Haha, yep, decided to start wearing some new clothes (bad pun). I'm planning to keep this scheme for quite a while though.

Best suggestion ever  Personally, I do think Rush are over-rated. Not because they're not good, but simply because their fans are quite devoted (this coming from VDGG's most rabid fan) but haven't yet really given me much reason to agree with them. 1. Lyrics. Peart's style often comes across as a bit strained and basic to me. Equally, it does sometimes hit the spot perfectly (The Fountain Of Lamneth, Cygnus X-I). I still don't really think he rivals the other great lyricists around. 2. Virtuosity. Often hear Rush called the best at their respective instruments. Don't see it, myself. They're all good, and have a lot of space to show off, but I don't see why they are so highly rated. Especially compared to a few rather overlooked (here, at least) figures of the 70s scene (Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond, for instance). 3. Geddy Lee won a best keyboard player poll. Yes, reading capability :p But Caress of Steel is awesome. Get that one.

Weirdly enough, it seems that album is more loved by non-Rush-fans than the big Rush-fans.

Caress of Steel has none of the qualities of Rush that Rush fans love
about the band. There's slow moving, lo-key epics and a song based
purely on humor. Rush fans have no sense of humor
although even among us you'll find that Bastille Day and Lakeside Park are favorites

That's the truth, yes. Speaking for myself, I can understand why many on a prog rock site would find them overrated. They were a great gateway band for me, showing that music not necessarily have to straight-forward, and they remain one of my favourite rock bands. They will always be. Perhaps weaker on prog credentials for many of their albums than many fans would admit, they still played some pretty unique stuff seen to their popularity.
