Pretty cool.

Review Score: (6/10)
A Farewell to Kings isn't bad. There's some decent material throughout. The musicianship isn't disappointing. The tune that best represents the album is "Closer to the Heart." I think that "Xanadu" is pretty cool and interesting, also. The direction of this release is quite progressive. This isn't an album from Rush I listen to often, but it's still respectable in my book. Worth a listen.
