5 out of 5 stars A Farewell To Kings, one of Rush's best.......2005-11-09

A Farewell To Kings was Rush's 5th studio album (6th overall album), which was released in September of 1977. Here is the song list:

1. A Farewell To Kings) This song has great guitar work by Alex and a very fast tempo. Good lyrics by Peart. A+
2. Xanadu) Although it's 11 minutes long, it's still a wonderful song. The first 5 minutes are instrumental followed by some singing by Geddy. A+
3. Closer To The Heart) This song is one of the shorter Rush songs and is often played on the radio. Good pace and good singing. A+
4. Cinderella Man) This is the only song on the album written by Geddy Lee. This song is not my favorite because of the song's tempo. B
5. Madrigal) This is not a fast song like Cinderella Man, so again not my favorite. C+
6. Cygnus X-1) Like Xanadu because of the length and the instrumental start. This song has a great start and has great singing in the later half of the song. A+

Great Album, 5 Stars!

5 out of 5 stars The Best I've heard in a long long time!.......1999-11-10

I found a tape with no label when my family moved I listened to it out of couriousity and realized it must be Rush. I took it to my dad you said yeah - it's A Farewell To Kings. I bought the CD and the music blew me away. The melodies are haughting at times, the lyrics are pure poetry and I wish their current work were on a par with this classic.

5 out of 5 stars A simply perfect album - it changed music!!.......1998-10-15

It is without doubt one of the best albums by the best rock band of the last 20 years.
