⁣Другие альбомы Rush на Завалинке

⁣A Farewell To Kings - пятый студийный альбом в дискографии канадской прогрессив-рок-группы Rush (#33 в US Billboard 200, #22 в UK Albums Chart, #11 в Canadian Albums Chart, статус Platinum в США и Канаде), выпущенный 1 сентября 1977 года на лейбле Anthem. Альбом был записан в июне 1977 года в Rockfield Studios, Уэльс, Великобритания. Первый альбом, где у этой группы появился синтезатор.

В это время, в связи с возрастающей вокально-инструментальной нагрузкой, каждый из членов группы превратился в настоящего человека-оркестр. И басист, и гитарист перешли на монстроидальные двухгрифовые инструменты. Гедди Ли, к тому же, освоил клавишные и педальный бас, а Пирт значительно расширил свой арсенал ударных, введя туда колокольчики, темпл-блоки и прочую экзотику. В Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock этот альбом занимает #6 в списке "40 Cosmic Rock Albums". Вот что надо слушать, а не Uriah Heep для тинейджеров... В 2013 году Rush были введены в Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Здесь представлена переизданная ремастированная версия альбома 1997 года.
