not the best from that record, but I like the whole album. 


I'm with you on that--this is the last album of theirs I could listen to all the way through without skipping any songs. You can definitely hear the direction they're going toward the pop-rock of Abacab, but they still had some prog cred at this point.
Let's get right to it.

these guys are serious musicians, look!


and I'm w Davefish: Another BOS to our Canadian friends.

Geddy's voice makes dogs' heads explode.

BOS from me too (but you knew that), and Alicat called me to ask me to vote for Althea for her (again, no surprise).

Not ponderous proggy lyrics on this one, it's another you could salute the Repubs with this morning:

But glittering prizes
And endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity


"Music is the Earth, People are the Flowers, and I am the Hose."

--Carlos Santana, 2010

Althea is always welcome.  It's the only place to hear it on the radio.
