Released in 1978, Hemispheres is the band's sixth studio album, showcasing complex arrangements, shifting time signatures, and a blend of hard-rock power and progressive ambition.

The album explores the tension between reason and emotion through its expansive “Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres” suite, continuing the story introduced on A Farewell to Kings.
