2112

This was first introduction of Rush, and if anyone who starts out with Rush get 2112 first. This is the album that got Rush up there with the big Art Rock giants. Rush knew when 2112 came out it was something special. 2112 is probably my favorite epic of all time how can any body not like this song. Neil Pearts drumming in the temple of syrinx is like nothing i have ever heared, and Geddy's top notch bass playing, and Lifeson's beautiful guitar, he has some amazing solo's on 2112, a very under rated guitar player. The other half of the album has more short hard rock songs, there are some good one's like A passage to Bangkok, Twighlight Zone, and Something For Nothting. But of course the title track makes the album worth while and i give this album 5 stars mainly for the song 2112. This was the start of the great 5 masterpieces of Rush. Any art rock fan or hard rock fan should own the first Rush masterpiece. 5 stars
