2112

Description

Features 20-bit digital remastering from the original
master tapes and enhanced packaging faithful to the original LP release.
Tracks include “2112,” “Overture,” “The Temples of Syrinx,” “The Dream, ”
“Soliloquy,” “Grand Finale,” “The Twilight Zone,” “Lessons,” “Tears,”
Something for Nothing” and more. Only Rush could have pulled this
off, and only in the ’70s. 2112–the title suite of the band’s 1976
breakthrough album–is a comically pretentious, futuristic rock opera written
by a nerdy drummer and sung by a whiny-voiced geek. It also happens to be a
great piece of rock & roll that lifts the listener through a variety of moods
and textures from genteel acoustic (“Oracle”) to thrilling metal (“The Temples
of Syrinx”). Perhaps realizing that they had taken conceptualism about as far
as it could go, even these guys backed off on the epic hero stuff for later
releases. 2112 still stands as one of the great signposts of the prog-rock
era. –Michael Ruby
