Our Review

The 1970s proved to be an era for hard rock bands to explore the further reaches of their ambitions. Canada’s Rush were among the groups who locked into a successful new formula that eschewed the conventions of the hit single for instrumental diversions and lyrical adventures that helped them stand out within the burgeoning scene. 2112 is Rush’s fourth album and the first to consistently capture their emerging vision. All accomplished musicians, the trio emphasized dynamics and thrilling trills to accentuate their epic musical vision. Arena rock was only beginning to find its place and Rush’s blend of progressive rock’s slow-building moods and their own anthemic powerchords proved to be an enlightening mixture. The title track is a seven-part, 20 minute epic where drummer Neil Peart’s Ayn Rand inspired lyrics are passionately expressed by bassist Geddy Lee’s shrieking delivery. The shorter selections that made up side two of the original album – “A Passage to Bangkok,” in particular – pointed up the band’s strengths as succinct writers as well. Rush became the exemplary power trio, every member finding their distinctive niche without sacrificing the collective power of the group sound.

Attention All Planets Of The Solar Federation, We Have Assumed Contol (5 stars)
The tune 2112 for years was Rush's opening song in concert and for good reason. Tha 20 min long epic of the found guitar, Too Cool. Every tune a classic.

Classic and Timeless (5 stars)
2112, the year, and the name of the first song, plays throughout the entire first side. Neil takes the listener on a Journey that parallels "Anthem" written by the great Ayn Rand. A creative and powerful explanation of the human spirit and the greatness of the individual over the collective. The second side contains 5 other classics; "A passage to Bangkok", "Lessons" "Something for Nothing", "T
