Well done. ;-) The song of the moment, though, is "The body electric": uuuuuuh, what a great track!

By the way, I find "2112" wonderful precisely because it's so pompous. ;-)

Mmm... I also think "The spirit of radio" isn't that cohesive if we look at it from this perspective. The last two tracks from "moving pictures" are absolute gems, just to be clear: I place them just behind the rest of the album, perhaps precisely because in a certain way they anticipate what the sound will be in the years to come. I absolutely agree on "Bastille Day" (I love that track); less so on "Circumstances": even though it's the shortest and least regarded piece from "Hemispheres", I might actually prefer it out of the four, with a killer chorus. But telling me that "A farewell to kings" (the track) is underwhelming... come on, that’s not right. ;-)

Partially, I agree with good vellutogrigio; personally, for example (and here I condemn myself, lol), I find the last two tracks of "Moving Pictures" to be "slightly" inferior to the immense rest of the album; on the other hand, "The Spirit of Radio" is beautiful, very intelligent, but "Tom Sawyer" and "Limelight" are brilliant. Having said all this, and essentially confirming that there is no debate on which among two masterpieces should be preferred ("The Camera Eye" vs "Natural Strings" I would say makes no sense), I say (assuming I consider "2112" their best) to good vellutogrigio that, in my opinion, he has overlooked the colossal "A Farewell to Kings," an album without flaws. Unlike this unreadable post. Regards.
