Nothing wrong with the bands you grew up listening to, STYX, BOSTON, ZEPPELIN, etc..., are great bands. BUT, RUSH is a completely different animal 😆. I'm glad you find them well worth the wait! ☮

The last part is a direct connection to Cygnus-X1. The protagonist goes through a black hole and is torn apart. He ends up in Olympus for his act of bravery. The little drum patterns and guitar riffs in the background that seem displaced are from part 1 to make the musical connection.

That CHORD you like - sometimes referred to as the Alex Lifeson chord is an F# plus 4 flat 7th A few years back, John Petrucci went out for a drive with the folks from Cosmo Music(opens in new tab). In the resulting Rockstars in Cars video, the Dream Theater guitarist talked about his favorite solo to play live, his mix of technical and emotional guitar playing, and more. Best question in the video: “Desert island chord: You got one chord you can play forever. What is it?” “It’s the opening chord from Hemispheres by Rush,” Petrucci replies. “It’s the F sharp major with the added 4th and the flat 7. That should really be named ‘the Alex Lifeson Chord,’ because he invented that.”

I trip out when you young guys listen to Rush for the first time. I'm 57 yrs old and this was my all time favorite band...still is. It took a long time for alternative rock to catch up. Honestly, their aren't too many bands that are that creative. Their creativity is what stifled them in the music industry for quite a few years up until the permanent waves album came out. They weren't heavily promoted. But their grass roots fans ,from the tons of touring that they did, is what garnered them album sales and the record execs finally succumbed to the brilliance that is Rush.

This band have been keeping me satisfied since 1978 You have years of pleasure ahead of you 🤘👍

"They have a sense of humor with their choices" - hahahaha, you have no idea, John. These are three of the funniest people on the planet. Neil was the most serious of the three, but had a very dry humor that was incredible. Alex is basically a stand-up comedian with a guitar - watch his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction speech. Geddy was between the two - so focused on the music, but completely having fun with it. They challenged the listener on many levels, and I will love them forever for it! I am of their generation, and I feel they have been dear friends for over four decades.

La Villa Strangiato is based on a series of nightmares that Alex Lifeson, lead guitar was having.

Producer: How many time signatures in this song? Rush: All of them 😂

The "cartoon" music segment was "borrowed" from their childhood memories, but later found out it was written in 1936 by a Hollywood { I think ] soundtrack composer. Rush's legal advisors inquired and it turned out the protection on the piece had expired, but the band sent the (then still living ) author a cheque...just because. Oh, those good Canadian boys, Eh?

Imagine being a 12 year old kid hearing this for the first time…..40 odd years later and it still blows my mind how epic this is.🔥🤘🏻👍

As a life long Rush fan, it brings tears of joy to witness the new discovery of their work. Enjoy the journey. Oh, and try some early Genesis too.

"What was that?" That was a callback to Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage. These songs are best heard in order.

I’ve watched a lot of Rush reactions and I love it because you get that feeling of someone else’s discovery. It’s always fun, but your almost childlike excitement to these songs is infectious. It takes me back to my own first discovery’s of them. It’s a great gift for both you and your viewers. I had to subscribe. Thanks and I will be here for your entire journey.

Funny thing about your comment that everyone does a solo but the singer. The singer is the bassist and and keyboards and yes he's he plays both bass and keys while singing. The reason everyone has mentioned watching Xanadu - Exit Stage Left live is because it will answer all your questions. Yes, Neil plays a full percussion kit including: largest drum kit of the time, triangles, tubular bells, cow bells, wood blocks and a multitude of other percussion instruments. Alex Lifeson plays a double neck 12 and 6 string guitar plus for peddles. Geddy sings, has a double neck bass and six string and plays synth

Yes, Xanadu from Exit Stage Left is a must! You will see these guys in action! There are only three of them. Also, Cygnus X 1, The Fountain of Lamneth.. The song Circumstances, Neil Peart the drummer who was also the lyrist wrote this. It was before he joined Rush. He was frustrated that his drumming career wasn't going the way he wanted to so he moved to England for awhile and things didn't work out there as well. He moved back to Canada and later joined Rush. I think he was about 19 at the time. Did you notice the French phrases? La Villa Strangiato is about a series of nightmares that Alex Lifeson the guitarist had and yes that was old cartoon music in there. There was a copyright issue and even though the copyright had run out they still made a one time payment for using it. This album is truly a masterpiece! I know you mentioned synths but if you like something different please check out Jetho Tull where Ian Anderson rocks the flute! Locomotive Breath is a good one. Cheers

If I had to listen to a Rush song on a continuous loop, Hemispheres would be the one.

No one will ever beat your reactions to this wow dude you nailed it 👏

RUSH fan here since '74. I'm convinced their mission was to let us know that ANYTHING is possible. If you can dream it........THERE IT IS! You just proved it's possible!

So a “post Prog” band that are this creative (yes, they’re still active, just released an album) that has excellent musicians, plenty of synths and lots of heart is the British band “Marillion”. If you can only listen to one, go with “Neverland”. Some songs, about one per album: “Script for a Jester’s Tear”, “Grendel” (1983), “Assassing” (1984), “Misplaced Childhood” (concept album, 1985), “Sugar Mice” (1987), “Easter” (1989), “Brave” (1989), “Estonia” (1997), “A Few Words for the Dead” (1998), “Interior Lulu” (1999), “This is the 21st Century” (2001), “The Invisible Man”, “Ocean Cloud”, “Neverland” (2004), “Whatever is Wrong With You” (2008), “Sounds That Can’t Be Made” (2012), “FEAR” (concept album, 2016) and “Murder Machines” (2022). Highly recommended.

The structure of Cygnus X-1, Book 2 is in the nature of an opera; the first segment introduces the musical themes that will be explored throughout the the balance of the piece. It is like symphonic rock, performed on rock instruments by three virtuoso musicians.

Damn right they’re telling a story. That’s why it’s important to read the lyrics, which were written almost exclusively by the drummer, Neil Peart. Alex (guitars) & Geddy(bass, lead vocals & keyboards) wrote the music. I am 63 & I have worshipped RUSH since I was 15. That’s over 40 years. Great to see you younger people discover the astonishing power of these 3 guys. The whole album of Hemispheres is about the 2 separate hemispheres of the brain. The emotional side & the reasoning & critical thinking side. One of the best albums ever made!! You should listen to the first side of their album “2112”. It was recorded in 1976 & the whole first side is one song with 7 separate parts. It’s over 20 minutes long and it will blow your mind. Peace & RUSH to you from an old RUSH rocker!! 🤘❤️🤘❤️

Thank you for doing the whole album. Listening to music can be a very deeply personal thing, but it is also very much a wonderful shared experience with other people. If you want to take on another Rush album, but one from there synthesizer dominant era I would highly recommend the Power Windows album. In the time of listening to individual songs, it is wonderful to find someone who is willing to go and have the entire album experience as bands of the past intended their songs to be experienced. Again, thank you, looking forward to the next one, keep up the great work.

Great choice, this being their best album !!!!!!

The masters of mood and transitions. I told you already GENIUS!

Rocinante was the name of Don Quixote's horse, making allusions to the ship being a vehicle of the imagination...and Cygnus X-1 was the first powerful "invisible" radio source discovered and theorized at the time (and later confirmed) to be a black hole...

I see it as the battle between the heart and mind logic reason vs love and imagination. That’s why we see a giant Brain with right and left if you will represented as characters.

Nice reaction. If you want to listen to a solo where everyone does the solo, listen to Freewill (studio and live version from Snakes & Arrows tour)

It's pronounced "sig-ness" X-1 , an actual stellar body in fact.. You should have started with "A Farewell to Kings" before "Hemispheres" . " Kings" transitions into "Hemispheres" and a farewell to Kings is a damn good album in its own right, one of the top five easily . Top 3 for me but i'm 55 lol played guitar since I was five . Rush's "Fly By Night" was the album that got me hooked on music . And BYW those weren't pinch harmonics , just open harmonics . It's kinda cool watching some one beginning to discover RUSH . Happy journey my friend , it only gets better on so many levels .

You need to hear Book I, from A Farewell to Kings!

I love it when you notice things I've always enjoyed. Yes, I found those bits in the beginning funny too. :) *ding!* Full album reactions may take a lot of time, but that is how most of us heard them originally when they were released. I think that is more authentic to what the band meant for people to experience too in their song selection and order. For an album like Hemispheres with that long single sided masterpiece, I don't think it gets much better. :)

I loved your reaction during the first song- "where are we going now?"; the joy of exploration.

C'mon Sloppy J...love the channel...and the new full-album format...got to hit-up Grace under pressure...and caress of steel... please... please... please!!! Ur Awesome!!!

YES, the battle between "Love and Reason", sound familiar.? Great Work! Hemispheres one of the BEST! You are truly getting the Stories! Good for YOU! Probably already mentioned but you can hear your dog and your hands tapping on desk (or bongos), or something.? With your headphones probably can't hear it yourself. "We will call you Cygnus, the God of Balance, you shall be". What a Concept, "The heart and mind united in a single perfect Sphere". Thanks for your work here! Tommy-The Who, great concept opera album!!

Keep going bro! It made a bad day a Grand morning from Massillon Ohio!! Football Town

Very impressed with your comment regarding their musical sense of humor. Lots of musical shenanigans and mischief to be had on this album.

How wonderful to discover a new love with the entire discography available. Bittersweet, however, since there will be no more. You are doing the entire album, so kudos. Bands like Rush create entire albums where song order and styles are part of the whole. To be an olde farte(tm) -- and a smarte ass -- back in the day, there were things called "records" which had "album covers." They were a part of the package, especially the cover art. The inside covers or liner notes contained the answers to a lot of your questions... lyrics and especially about instrumentation. Neil's list was about 10 long lines. Geddy's list grew quickly over time. Interior photos showed Neil in a godlike nimbus of light, and Alex (left?) with Geddy (the other).

Love new Rush lovers...one of my great satisfactions in life was to take my daughter to a few shows and her and husband to the final tour. My favorite band since ALL THE WORLDS A STAGE. First album I listened to. My favorite are Permanent Waves and Signals....enjoy your journey.

Yes Hemispheres is based on Greek mythology and per my previous comment, the protagonist goes through the black hole in Cygnus-X1 named Cygnus. Part 1 is based on an some research that Neil read about a real blackhole created by a distant star named Cygnus-X1.

This is the story of the age old battle between heart and mind (left and right brain - hemispheres) within each of us as well as collectively. In part one (from A Farewell to Kings, our hero falls into a black hole). In this part two he wound up in the mythical Olympus where he meets Dionysus and Apollo. They are sad about the state of affairs of the world they see through his eyes - a world splitting into warring hemispheres. The God of Cygnus symbolizes humankind's evolution into balance and a single perfect sphere (world). Neil Peart's writing is pure genius! Thanks for covering this song. I'm so glad you liked it!

The Fountain of Lamneth by them is a must its over 20 min of bliss

Thanks for making my night!! 2112 is a kick ass story.

If you're into synths, the last song on the album Signals "Countdown" has a keyboard solo to die for.

God I love musicians like you reacting to Rush, it makes my 43 year worship so validated, thank you

No worries bringing up today's alternative music where do you think they got all their material from they were all inspired by Rush!

Rush is an amazing discovery. The godfatherss of prog rock!! "A Farewell to Kings" and "2112" are albums from them you must check out. Then "Permanente Waves". Great reaction to The Story Tellers, RUSH!!!!

Literally, Music of the gods This to me is the greatest album ever made by any band from any genre. I mean Close to the Edge sometimes takes its place at #1, but it definitely has its turn at #1. 2112 is the greatest rock composition ever written however, and contains the greatest guitar solo in VI. Soliloquy in all of Rock. period. The cool thing about a real musician hearing the greatest rock compositions of all time for the first time is you can practically see their synapse lighting up and their brain expand. Fitting for Hemispheres. You know often people can not appreciate or even comprehend the complexity of the bass part on Circumstances and singing at the same time. It is the hardest song I've ever performed as a bass player and singer.

Every song on Hemispheres has at least one section of the song that is bliss, the little harmonic part in prelude, the synthy bridge in circumstances, the trees bass groove/guitar solo, and Alex's solo on la villa is nuts, one of my favorite solos of all time. Xanadu is my favorite Rush song, but the best album goes to Hemispheres, which is head and shoulders above all other Rush albums for its consistency throughout. It is Rush's moodiest and heaviest album.

😍 OMG! I am so obsessed with you! 🥰 The entire Album! 🤗 You so rock! 😉 Especially noting the "Bugs Bunny reference" as there wasn't Cable back then 😂 so no Cartoon Network! ☺️ Going somewhere quiet where I can watch your reaction undisturbed. 😁 Helps being retired! 🙄 DOH'! 😊

Your next listen should be my favorite album (all time). “A farwell to kings” which has the first book of hemispheres. It also has perhaps their most creative song Xanadu and my favorite song the title track. I really think it is their greatest album. IMHO!

Love that you understand the complexities of Rush, but you also mentioned Coheed and Cambria. My younger son introduced them to me about 5 years ago..love 'em.

I loved your reaction to the album. Hemispheres is an artistic masterpiece. I have said the same thing at the end. Rush is the best at everything you were questioning. Yes, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson would be on the next level

Awesome reaction! Now on to 2112. Their magnum opus! After that you should try something live to get a better feel of their onstage presence when they perform this great music. Just 3 guys! There is lots to choose from but Xanadu from exit stage left 1981 will blow you away. As well as Working Man live in Cleveland and YYZ live in Rio. To name a few. Rush on Man!

With your videos I feel like I'm in 1990, showing the friends rush that have never heard them. You seem like such a cool guy.

You should have started with Cygnus X1 (end of the previous album) which is Book 1 of this story and is so completely different but helps you understand the story/message. When you think that this song/album was recorded in the UK at the height of the punk rock movement, how brave were Rush!

Loved your reaction!! Now you got to see them do La Villa live - official video is fine!! Watch them play, sing, keyboards with their feet… and Neil is not human!! Greatest band ever! Be well and God bless… from Texas!! (Definitely 2112 - comic book version if possible, it has lyrics and liner notes! Now there’s a story…🤯)

I’m 59 edge year’s old and I’ve listen to every thing in my life but believe me rush create another level of music in any aspect.

Thanks for not stopping the track every 5 seconds. 🙂

Storytelling? Yes! Wait until you hear 2112 and The Fountain of Lamneth! There’s also epics like The Necromancer, Xanadu (live vid please) and By-Tor & the Snowdog (live from 1976, please)! Total “theater of the mind” epics!

During the "everyone do a solo at the same time" part, the singer WAS involved. Geddy Lee is the singer, bass player AND keyboards. NOTE: Alex Lifeson (guitars) also does some synth stuff with foot pedals to help poor Geddy out.

I never noticed it before but - Your eye brows are a like a monument to eye brows...I like it.

I really enjoyed your reaction to this masterpiece! Since you asked for other prog bands to check out, I am sure you will be blown away by Close To The Edge by Yes. Make sure to stretch your brain before listening. :-)

2112 was their make it or break it album. They chose to do it their way and not sell out. Game changer!

In The Trees, Neil is using what are called temple blocks, they’re a set of five or six hollowed out blocks of different pitch. Neil had a number of various acoustic percussion instruments used in classical orchestras. Tubular bells (aka chimes) orchestra bells (glockenspiel), 4 or 5 cow bells of different pitch, triangles, and the aforementioned temple blocks, there may have been others as well. This is probably my favorite Rush album because of the creativity and imagination put into it! Glad you enjoyed it.😎

It's literally about the Greek Gods . A man from earth traveled to the heavans on his rocket ship the Rocinante' , which is a nod to Isaac Asimov I believe it was who wrote the book "journey of the rosinante" I read it years ago I may not be totally accurate on the name and author if it wasn't Isaac Asimov then it was some other prominent sci-fi author, but I digress, I could go on all day about Rush, anyway back to the story because Apollo and Dionysus "the Gods of love and reason, sought alone to rule the fate of man" . and the gods we're so impressed by the Earth man they made him a god , the god of balance. You would spot some of the references from the previous album. The first song has snippets of the last song of farewell to Kings which is I believe all of side two of "AFWTK's". And just so you know except for the first album almost all the lyrics to every song except maybe three and I doubt it's that many , off hand I can only think of one that Geddy Lee wrote the lyrics to on 2112 called "Tears" . Man you're going to have a blast getting to learn all this stuff for the first time. Kind of envious over here. You'll love "Circumstances" .

Glad you were blown away by this masterpiece! If you want Creative rock music recommendations from the UK in the 70's...Van Der Graaf Generator, Hatfield and the North or National Health. And also Gong, Hawkwind and their extended families. I would love to see your reactions to some of the gems that these artists created.

John. I don't know if your Hemipsheres travels yielded info that you needed or not but I'll tell you yes you have a Greek mythology story mixed with the story of Cygnus, a traveler from the Album 'A Farewell To Kings' with the first Cygnus story ending with Cygnus flying in space who flies into a black hole. The Hemispheres 2nd story of Cygnus details Love & Reason battling essentially splitting the Sphere into Hemispheres. Then Cygnus appears formless but retaining memory and awareness and the Gods feel bad for him and make him Cygnus the God of Balance to restore order. Deeply intricate music and words. Even the music itself tells its own story. Neil Peart was a treasure that more people should be aware of. He not only drummed but he wrote most of the bands lyrics and mixed philosophical and spiritual tones. Thanks for posting your reaction to an album I have played on repeat for years and years.

Sig-nus X-1. The first black hole discovered. In the constellation named Cygnus the Swan. Fun fact: John Petrucci (Dream Theater) calls the opening chord "The Alex Lifeson Chord." Alex is basically self taught, so I like to say "he doesn't know what's wrong." He's like a music elemental. I love this album (it still has some goldish powdery leaf like substance in the crease. It the classic de-seeding double album format despite being a single record. The grooves are basically worn smooth from so many plays. I remember buying it when it came out. There's a has a sad IRL story along with it. The studio work was so exhausting that they basically said "never again" WRT huge songs. So they narrowed their scope, kind of compressing their prog into smaller packages. I miss the epics... If you do like epic music, one of Rush's main influences is mostly Yes (Geddy), along with Led Zeppelin (Alex). Yes can be said to have helped found, and IMO define/perfect the prog genre. Rush inducted Yes into the RRHoF and Ged got to play on a song. However, influence doesn't mean copy and Rush adds massive uniqueness to mvsik. This album approaches Yes in it's epic form. One of Rush's defining characteristics is Neil Peart (Peert) lyrics. One of Yes' characteristics is indecipherable lyrics.

I figured it out. You ‘missed’ Rush, when you were listening to Boston, Zeppelin Styx, etc. same kind of music SO THAT, you could THIS for all of us, decades after. Thanks for takin one for the team bro. These vids are epic.

You would be amazed how tight the live versions of The Trees and Village Strangiato were performed on Exit Stage Left. In fact not a bad version of all their songs. Jacobs Ladder for one.

I recommend Yes, their music is multi layered as well. You can start with Heart Of The Sunrise, and Starship Trooper.

Check out Emerson,Lake and Palmer. Also King Crimson.Both should be what youve been looking for in music.Ive been a big fan of Rush for over 40 years.Starting with their very first album ,been a fan.Ive been to see them several times in concert.Watching your reactions to their music is a familiar feeling.Especially Hemispheres,its such a deep album,and probably my favorite.Another band you might enjoy I think is Yes.At the very least,youll love those guys too.Rock on!!

I know that after listening for over 40+ years to Alex Lifeson's beautiful high guitar notes.. I have more wrinkles because of the faces i pull listening to them!! 😆🇬🇧

Greatest Rush album! This is my go to album❤️ RIP Neil

If you like Come Sail away, please tell me you're listening to Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas. In fact listen to everything Kansas ever did. I am serious. I can tell you will love it. I don't know how familiar you already are. So I might be preaching to the choir. But just start with that one, studio cut. Or if you've heard it way too much then start with the song, what's going on? Or perhaps he knew, which strangely enough is actually about Albert einstein. Great reaction man, I'm glad I found your channel. I think I came here via Rush 2112, because that's my favorite of their albums but this probably be my second favorite. But I like so much of their stuff, don't get me wrong. And to hear that you were plowing your way through Boston at some point damn I might have to go find those. And then if you throw some early Chicago in there like, feeling stronger every day, or the iconic 25 or 6 to 4, well then you may as well come to Kansas! Lol.

The Necromancer, By-Tor and the Snow Dog , 2112, Red Barchetta, Cygnus X-1 Book 1 and so many more. You have just scratched the surface.

When i was 11 years old i told my parents i went to the youth club, But really i jumped on the x5 bus and went 22 miles away to see Rush on the Hemispheres tour at Newcastle city hall UK....I was 11 and my first Rush gig.....107 Rush gigs later including their last show ever.Glad i was alive when they were playing.

That part you recognized was borrowed from an old jazz tune called Powerhouse. It was used in several Warner Bros cartoons (I call it the Bugs Bunny Factory Theme 🤣)

Love seeing someone who first here's Rush. 2112 is epic. You should go back to the first album and listen to them chronologically so you can grow with them through the years and their progression as musicians and story tellers. Then you'll appreciate the music and the journey. I believe your about to go down the rabbit hole. Pleasant dreams.

Hemispheres was their most complex album and it took them almost a year to produce. It was so daunting that they decided not to push the limits that far again and just stick to their "regular" masterpieces. 😊

The entire album is just frighten epic.

I know you're planning to explore 2112, but you should also go back to their earlier albums, including A Farewell to Kings and Fly By Night before jumping ahead to Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures.

The Trees has always been a personal favorite of mine as well, but this whole album is justifiably one of their best.

Love the way Neil counts off that 5/4 time signature before they hit that solo section

I've been in a Rush Tribute band(Animation) doing Geddy's part for 25 years. This was my favorite album to play live. We have a KZfaq video out there of us doing this entire album. It's not perfect, but it sure was fun to play. BTW, the low keyboards are the Moog Taurus pedals. I have one from 1978, and have had to rebuild them from time to time. Labor of love. This tour was what killed Geddy's voice, along with In Ear Monitors not having been invented yet. Take the time to listen to all of it. P.S. Check out Dream Theater, you wont be disappointed!

Rush are incredible storytellers. Make sure you check out 2112, Xanadu, By-Tor & the Snow Dog, Natural Science, Red Barchetta & so many more. There's a video of 2112 with accompanying animation that someone put together that you should react to. Also, the cartoon riff in La Villa is called the Powerhouse from the Looney Tunes cartoons. It was instantly recognizable to me when I first this.

RUSH is MASTERCLASS! Consummate musicians!

This was, without a doubt, Rush's seminal album. By far their most aggressive musically, possibly lyrically as well. Interesting how they themselves (to the best of my knowledge) looked down on it, which I thought was very strange. To be able to play this on bass was and still is my life's pursuit! (I'm not good enough, but wishful thinking.. lol).

34:15 coolest, most fun 20 seconds in all of rock and roll.

This is Rush, this is the best of the best. Ever

This also has a Lunny tune reference. Three of them the opening line of hemispheres, music break in trees. And monsters in La Ville

I would definitely suggest Cygnus X1 Book 1. Just because you are missing Cygnus getting sucked into the black hole. Lol. In my opinion, the album before this one A Farewell to Kings through Moving Pictures are almost, if not, all perfect albums. And it isn't like the albums after weren't great also, but there is one or two songs on the following albums that aren't my personal favorite. Still great. But these four albums...AF2K, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures. Masterpieces.

Another storytelling Prog masterpiece would be the whole Fragile album by Yes. But do more Rush. After the epics, they mastered the short form too. They have 19 studio albums and they constantly evolved (as you saw in Subdivisions which was a mere 4 years after Hemispheres). This is their 6th studio album in 4 years. They were about 25/26 when this came out. They also used to play > 150 nights a year at this point too.

Sir this is one of the best songs ever recorded in my opinion

This was their last concept album until their final album, Clockwork Angels (it has an accompanying novel!). Anyway, they definitely went out on a high note!

Comence a escuchar a Rush alla por 1977,en mi mas joven adolescencia cuando estudiaba bateria y ya vernia escuchando YES, GENESIS, ELP,ETC... PerpoRush conten+ía también algo de sonido heavy o metalico con grandes intenciones progresivas, su caractesitica mas destacada siempre fué que mantuvieron su formacion de trío , buscando la complejidad de arreglos sin poner invitados o músicos de sesion , si lo hicieron fue en algunos pocos temas y solo en estudio, lamneto no haberlos visto en vivo aqui en Buerno Aires cuando vinieron ,siempre los admire ,mas alla de que mis gustos musicales fueron cambiando con el tiempo ,los mantengo entre mis discos de siempre.

they very best album of Rush...I love Rush!

Here are some of my favs. IMHO Black Sabbath - Sabotage, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath ELP - Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Seconds Out Led Zeppelin - I thru Physical Graffiti Pat Travers - Live! Go For What You Know! Pink Floyd - Meddle thru The Division Bell Queen - News of the World, Jazz Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs, Victims of the Fury Rush - A Farewell to Kings thru Clockwork Angels Styx - Equinox, Grand Illusion The Beatles - Sgt Pepper’s thru Let it Be The Moody Blues - This Is The Moody Blues (1974) The Who - Who's Next, Tommy, Quadrophenia Van Halen - I thru 1984 Yes - The Yes Album, Fragile

Great reaction, this is my fave Rush album.. Try to listen to another Canadian band, Voivod.. Their late 80’s and early 90’e stuff is great.. Maybe you can react to the band Budgie too, their “In For The Kill” album is a good intro to the band..

Rush is a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep rabbit hole my friend! 😉

That Geddy would play those wild, dancing bass lines while simultaneusly singing on the verse of Circumstances is beyond me. But my favorite part on the album is perhaps 6:23 on this video, that bass is singing.
