 Topic: Album battle: 2112 vs Awake
Posted: July 26 2005 at 08:24 |
REMEMBER MATES, VOTE FOR THE ALBUM NOT THE BAND.
YOU MIGHT BE A DT FAN AND PREFERE 2112 THAN AWAKE AND VICE VERSA.

Why do you want to compare these two albums? I voted for Awake ... it's my favorite DT album and also the only DT album that I would really rate with 5 stars (Scenes gets 4 1/2 stars from me).
IMO it would be better to compare 2112 (the song) to Erotomania/Voices/The Silent Man, which really is an epic with three sections.

Is there a "song" called 2112?
Anyway I also don't understand why these two albums? I'd go for 2112 though.

2112 is also the name of the epic - at least on my cd. On vinyl it's probably just labeled "Side 1" ...

Even though I prefer rush to some DT albums, there's no question in my
mind here. Awake is a masterpiece that beats most albums in my
collection, including 2112.

Hmmm... gonna go with Awake. it's more consistently good than 2112, which has an amazing side 1, but side 2 kinda falls off a bit.

2112 easily. One of the greatest albums of all time.

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

Precisely my sentiment, and vote.
Which pains me, as I'm a huge Rush fan. But Awake was DT's best work,
IMO. Now if you had pit Hemispheres against Awake, that would have been
a lot tougher!

I voted Awake. Its without shadow of a doubt the best DT album. But like
Empathy, I'm a huge Rush fan, so its a was hard for me to choose. 2112
its a great album, but not Rush best work (as an album).

Awake is a complete album and 2112 only shines for me due to the amazing title track, even though A Mind Beside Itself on Awake is better. The solo on Voices= Sheer awesome.
