And, of course, there are going to be the haters who can’t believe that I would write about Rush at all. There are going to be Rush fanatics who read this - and the other posts in a month or so - and think that I was insufficiently appreciative of their amazing glory.
#2112 RUSH FULL ALBUM FULL#
All I know for sure is that I heard “2112” at the tale end of my prog phase, and while it didn’t blow me completely away, I really did like how Rush’s prog was full of hard rock guitars, and some crazy-ass drumming. I mean, 2012 was forever away, for fuck’s sake. Which seemed inconceivable when “2112” first came into my life in the mid-1970s. So let me start with this: right now, there is at least one kid in the world who will get to listen to “2112” in the year 2112. Especially since we’re only a month or so from Rush, anyways. I really believe if your a fan of rock music, this cd is a must have in your collection.Sorry, but if you know me at all, you’d know that there was literally no way I could resist doing “2112” as the 2112st Certain Song post. You won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes, no matter what your dreams might be." Simply put, this is one of the most stout releases by a band that has been playing for 35 years. On this last track Geddy implores us to realize this as a fact of life as he belts out the chorus lines."You don't get something for nothing, you can't have freedom for free. I personally tend to really enjoy the lyrics of Rush, I also appreciate what messages they are trying to convey to us, the music lover. This last track is certainly one my favorite Rush songs. After this we are taught "Lessons" and listen as the mellow, acoustic guitar tune with introspective and emotional lyrics "Tears" gives us the calm and zen pace that then picks back up on the finale "Something for Nothing".
#2112 RUSH FULL ALBUM TV#
After the title track the listener is taken on a journey through "A Passage to Bangkok" then onward through lyrical references of the old tv classic episode's of Rod Serling's "Twilight Zone". In fact, you may never hear any of the songs contained in this time-tested release on radio unless you have a local FM station that purposely fits them into their set-list (at least that is what I've noticed through the years out of my local classic rock stations here in Ohio). The songs that follow the journey that starts with 2112 are often overlooked too. This epic masterpiece is easily in almost every Rush fan's top 3 when asked to name their favorite studio performances. The vocals and bass lines are given forth by Geddy Lee in such a s trong and steady fashion while the lead guitar work is fashioned by perhaps one of the most overlooked guitarists of all-time.Alex Lifeson. The first track is also the title of the cd, 2112 is a 20 minute long epic journey that showcases some of the best conceptual lyrics of any album at any time in the history of rock music! The percussion provided by Neal Peart is stunning and flawless. 2112 is the band's 4th studio release, it first was released in 1976. If your a Rush fan (I've been for nearly 30 years) then you already not only know about this remarkable music, but you've probably owned it in some form, or currently do now. If you are familiar with the band because you've heard some of their more popular songs being played on FM radio then this detailed review is being written with you in mind. 2112: A must have journey for any Rush fan!
