2112

2112 deserves its reputation as one of the best 70's prog-rock albums. The title track is untouchable. I don't even want to try and describe this highly influential, incredible "song;" it's best left for you to just listen to yourself and experience it in your own way. But I ALWAYS thought side 2 was weak, although, granted, anything would pale in comparison to side 1. "Twilight Zone" is a particularly goofy song, sounding like something a jr. high garage band would write. I'm sorry, but it's true! "Bangkok" has an underwhelming riff and I think it was written solely for the purpose of giving the potheads something to snicker at. "Something For Nothing" rocks, but sounds like a leftover from the 1st album. Still, you are NOT a Rush fan if you don't own this.
