If you don't own this--BUY IT NOW!

Review Score: (10/10)
This album is flawless, every song is perfection. Cygnus X-1 is Rush's greatest hour, only on the subsequent Hemispheres album would they top themselves. A Farewell to Kings as a song is a classic as is the concert standard Closer to the Heart. Xanadu remains one of Rush's strongest efforts to this day, while Cinderella man is another hidden gem that the legions of Rush diehards continue to cherish. This is Rush's third best album behind Moving Pictures and Hemispheres but it is a must have for any true Rush fan.
