Performance: Sonics: |
My favorite Rush title...have owned since it first came out on LP, a cassette tape for the car, then eventually the Mercury CD in the 80,s. I can pretty much sing along with every word.
I have compared my AF Hemispheres SACD layer to the old Mercury CD, and the AF is better, albeit only slightly. Improved detail in the low frequencies with Getty's bass...the SACD has more rock power. As what seems to be the trend with many AF SACD, the highs definitely have less prevalence, lighter volume in the percussion...less snap and shimmer.
I'm really enjoying the SACD, but feel it could have been better. It's not a "wow" difference over the CD and certainly not demo material. That being said, the album content is awesome...musically and lyrically. The SACD is the best available version to date and worth owning. Begs to be played LOUD.
