I knew I was wrong as soon as I heard it the "proper way". I had that strange "man I'm dumb" feeling in the pit of my gut. Thanks guys!

I believe it's generally pronounced twenty-one-twelve. Named after Neil Peart's locker in high school, IIRC. My friend went to the same school (thirty-some years later) and says that it kept getting stolen. The locker, I mean.

I'm sorry, but that's pretty damn awesome. 
(And funny and ridiculous all at the same time)

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

 sorry don't mean to laugh at a fellow Urfahead but that's classic it's pronounced 'Twenty-one Twelve' (like the year presumably)

I never really though of this until today... because my dad's pal came over. We started talking about music, then Rush, then I brought up "2112". I told him how I really liked "Two One One Two", and he said "What the hell is Two One One Two?". I didn't know what to say, because he is the guy who introduced me to Rush... after a couple seconds he blurted "Oh! You must mean Twenty One Twelve!"
How do you pronounce this album's name? (even though I'm guessing Twenty One Twelve is the correct way). I went through years of ignorant bliss, calling it Two One One Two.
