2112

Best album of all time, i can think of no bad points for the lyrics, music, dynamics, in fact, the only thing wrong with 2112, in my opinion, is the sound quality of the guitars at 1 OR 2 places, and i would imagine this is only because of the fact that it was recorded in 1976 and was only their fourth album. so they wouldnt have access to the best of equipment and such.

the other songs on the album are also great. Passage to bangkok is a masterpiece in itself, covering the concepts of the drug merchans on their travels. The Twilight Zone also is a masterpiece. With tight fitting lyrics like "a pleasant faced man steps up to greet you, he smiles and says he's pleased to meet you" is an 'exact' way of telling a 'normal' story... then the next line "Beneath his hat the strangness lies, take it off he's got three eyes"... an excelent way of expressing such a simple story line, it truly show just how amazing neil peart is as a lyricist to turn the simplist of verses into a perfect opening verse... Lessons, written by Alex Lifson (not peart), the lyrics fit, it holds a 'fell good' tune and is always a great song to play for any accoustic set.
