Masterpiece.

If this would have been about 10 minutes longer, then it would have been an easy 5 from me! EDIT: Tbh, in the end, I had to give this album a 5, because of how fantastic this album is. It is easily one of the best prog rock albums ever! It's so mindblowing that this album is from the '70s!

"La Villa Strangiato was so difficult even for us to play it live" - Geddy Lee. Incomperable album, apart from the controversial, Ayn Rand-esque, lyrics that they wrote at the time.

"Ayn Rand-esque, lyrics that they wrote at the time."



Never paid attention to the lyrics lmao is that right?

Yep, Rush, and especially Neil Peart that pretty much was writing all the lyrics, had a great appreciation of Ayn Rand's writings in the 70's and early 80's. For example, "The Trees" is nearly a copy-paste of a Rand's writing. Not only that, Peart supported at the time the whole neo-right ideology of hers. There are tons of articles you can find on the web. After years, Rush kinda disowned her influence claiming they were very young. I suppose it's all history, i strongly dislike the cynic views of Rand but i sincerely admire Rush, so...

lol what a dissapointment, Ayn Rand is probably one of the worst influences to modern history



Hopefully the band truly left those right-winged ideas

Neil Peart, 1978



“We’re certainly devoted to individualism as the only concept that allows men to be happy, without somebody taking from somebody else. The thing for me about Ayn Rand is that her philosophy is the only one applicable to the world today – in every sense. If you take her ideas, then take them farther in your own mind, you can find answers to pretty well everything on an individual basis. Putting the individual as the first priority, everything can be made to work in a way that it can never be made to work under any other system.”
