Sit back, put your headphones on and listen... What an awesome album!

This CD is just a masterpiece from start to finish. Xanadu is my favorite but all these tracks are classics. This was Rush in their prime. One bit of advice...the louder the better.

As one of their newer releases, Rush continues to not disappoint.

Bought it for my husband, he'd been looking for this for awhile

Great album...........................It is timeless!

Why is good music so hard to find? I hope others enjoy Rush as much I do.

I was happy to see this at Best Buy for $5.99. Cygnus X-1 is an all-time classic.

As with all Rush albums to come out before Signals, this is a classic.

Another sprawling epic by progressive rock's golden boys. Plunging deep into music's depths to pull out a true gem, RUSH embraces radio appeal with a mystery & intellect unlike anyone or anything else.

I am a big Rush fan, but never owned this one. Saw this remastered CD on sale and bought it. Been listening to it almost everyday since then!

They are all great, and they are all a little different as the transform to a galaxy adventure. Turn it up!!!

I love this album. Had it on tape when I was a kid. I'm 41 and I love it. It's classic Rush, plain and simple.

This is a classic Rock mainstay album. Xanadu is a must for any rock fan!

Of course is freakin amazing. You need to add a sixth star for Rush..

I love this cd Cygnus x1 is amazing as is every other song.

A Farewell to Kings is an album that is often overlooked by the casual prog fans, but is nonetheless essential to any Rush fan's collection. Farewell to Kings contains six songs, the most recognizable being "Closer to the Heart", Rush's first big hit single. The title track opens the album on a good note, but the album highlight is definitely "Xanadu". While not as polished as "2112", the title track from their previous album, "Xanadu" holds its own as a Rush classic, at times playing at a break-neck speed with many twists and turns along the way. In the song, the narrator is on a quest to find "Xanadu", a mythical place where he will find immortality. Also, it is the first Rush song to feature synthesizers. "Xanadu" truly is a triumph for the group. Another highlight is the closing track, "Cygnus X-1", a delirious thriller that leaves us on a cliffhanger. Fortunately, the song has a second part; "Hemispheres", the title track of their next album. While A Farewell to Kings is a little rough around the edges, and the "filler" tracks aren't as solid as other Rush albums of the era, Farewell to Kings is still a treat to any Rush fan.

got back into rush for awhile. liked it aftk but not as much as grace under pressure and 2112. 2112 is awesome!
