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. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

Is there a "song" called 2112? Anyway I also don't understand why these two albums? I'd go for 2112 though. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

2112 is also the name of the epic - at least on my cd. On vinyl it's probably just labeled "Side 1" ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

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. ------------- Currently listening to: - Andromeda - Pagan's Mind - Kamelot |

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. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

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! ------------- Pure Brilliance:

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. |

Both are stunning, but let's face it: 2112 is better, and I'm not even that big of a Rush fan.
