This album, while not their best work, is indeed a Rush masterpiece, and is recommended for any prog fans.

The album opens with the 20 minute epic 2112, which tells a tale of a man who discovers an ancient miracle (It's actually a guitar), and decides to share this new wonder, but is rejected by the Priests, because it was another toy that helped destroy the elder race of man. Afterwords, the man returns to his home where he has a dream. In this dream, an oracle confronts him and reveals the fate of his world. He is also shown a better place that he con go to, but can only get there through death. When he wakes up, he realizes that his planet will be taken over (By the Elder Race of Man), so he kills himself to reach the better place that the oracle talked about. After this happens, his world falls.

After 2112, this album contains classics such as A Passage To Bangkok, and The Twilight Zone. It also contains the decent tracks Lessons, Tears, and Something For Nothing.

Overall, it's a good album, but not the best. It still makes a good addition to any prog collection.
