Keep in rotation. As everyone knows, this is part 2 to A Farewell to Kings. This is one of my favorite albums because, basically, rush worldbuilds using music. A lot of prog actually leaves me cold, but not Rush. The struggle between appetite and reason, mind and body, storied forth in the battle between Dionysus and Apollo--it's philosophical, mythological, beautiful. This is a perfect album.

Am I the only one who thinks that the cover looks like a naked David Bowie just kind of wandered in and started pointing to the other guy for no apparent reason, and now the gut in the suit doesn't know what to do?
