Rush

A Farewell To Kings

A Gem

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (10/10)
A personal favorite of mine, Rush's A Farewell to Kings signals the next phase for our boys from the Great White North.

Some classics appear on this CD such as the fan-favorites "Closer to the Heart" and "Xanadu". But to me, the gem on this CD is the closing track - Cygnus X-1: Book I: The Voyage.

This track is a complete Sci-Fi experience in and of itself. Not since 2112 (ok, I know it was their last studio album) has Rush captured such an incredible Sci-Fi theme. The musical impact is only second to the intense lyrics.

This would stand alone as a work of poetry, and it has inspired a novel of the same name (to be released in the near future).

This CD, and Cygnus X-1, are personal favorites for good reason.

Enjoy...
