2112

Seen by most as their best accomplishment from their beginnings, it sure is a wonderful album. But there are some weaker spots in the song writing (Twilight zone, Lessons) that bring down the average quality of the album. Also, not as a point of criticism but merely as an observation, this is still a hard rock album. Yes, there's a 20 minute title track but that's made up of 6 separate hard rock songs that do no interact much musically, only lyrically. 2112 is a strong album no doubt, but only for those interested in the hardrock side of Rush, the real prog rock years were lurking on the horizon.
