There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees
Rush - Hemispheres
One of the things I like about Rush is that they don’t take themselves too seriously.
Lol.
This was the album where Rush go full-tilt prog-mind-virus: only four tracks on the album (one the whole of side one), Warhammer lyrics (albeit with a soupcon of fucking Ayn Rand), recorded in the Welsh countryside, off-brand Magritte sleeve art...it ticks every page of the I Spy Book of Prog Rock, and it’s an utter joy!
This was given to me by a bloke called Simon who we used to share a house with in about 1991. I don’t think I played it until years later, just because of the sleeve. Belated thanks, Simon – it’s great.
