2112

The album that started it off for me on my prog adventure!

Everything about this record just screams 'listen to me!' ? for me it's always return to this album following all the keyboard-driven prog from other bands and listen to some guitar-driven prog greatness!

The focus of the album is the 2112 suite which is just full of boundless energy and can be listened to on loop on a long car journey without ever growing sick of it!

I suppose you always like your 'first' album from the band the most as you return to it with nostalgic fondness - but i really think this is where rush set the 'benchmark'.

Do yourself a favour and rush out (har har!) and listen to this one again ? a trip into the past via a trip to the future!
