this song is so good... I actually have trouble drumming through the whole thing, and I'm pretty healthy. it's just... insane. and even then, I cannot play it nearly as good as the master, I simply buckle over at the "Powerhouse" section. such a good song.

I think between YYZ and this song, villa shows a broader scope of rush's diversity, but yeah I think they are both awesome

I'm still not sure if I like La Villa Strangiato better than YYZ. I admit, they are both completely awesome, nonetheless.

I know YYZ gets more love but this one is their best instrumental, in my humble opinion.
