 ... instrumentals that predate and anticipate 1980s heavy metal. The instruments are all their finest here, the guitar, bass and drums giving it everything they can and creating a distinctive and recognisable melody, similar to what The Who did with ‘Tommy,’ Jeff Wayne with ‘The War of the Worlds’ and every 70s prog band did with their ambitious concept albums. Some nice, understated keyboards run underneath the other instruments for the most part, climaxing in explosive sound effects. ‘Temples of the Syrinx’ is where the...more

Premium Review 2112 - Rush: We Are the Priests (1409 words)
by - written on 05/08/06 (Very useful, 253 readings)
Rating:

Canadian three-piece Rush relent and enter the realm of progressive rock with their weirdly titled semi-concept album ‘2112.’ Still firmly entrenched in the band’s hard rock roots, the grand scope of the side-long title track and occasional, fleeting moments of contemporary influence make this Rush’s first truly impressive and successful release, and the start of their most creative period. The first half (that’s side one for vinyl owners) comprises the epic ‘2112’ suite, Rush’s sci-fi rock opera spectacular. Set in a bleak 22nd century dystopia where priests control the masses from their ‘temples,’ Neil Peart’s lyrics tell the brief but entertaining story of ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review 2112 reasons to buy this album (394 words)

Bands would never get away with releasing an album like this these days which is lucky because I don't know of any bands who would be capable of making such a masterpiece as this. Yes, it's weird and it was probably weird in 1976 when it was first released. The fact that the whole of the first side of the original LP was taken up with one song is something that would make me wonder what the heck it's all about. It's a story set in, believe it or not, in 2112. Quite simply, a man living in a controlled state finds a guitar, is amazed by it's wonders and presents it to his superiors, only to be ridiculed. That's basically it and ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review 2112 - Rush: An album very much of its time. (399 words)

This was Rush's breakthrough album and it came out in that most derided of years, 1976. Oh yes, the year of huge flares, swervy haircuts and hyper inflation. The group photo herein, with silver kaftans and at least one cape thrown over a shoulder, only adds to the general feel of the time. Bands were moving away from prog to a smoother technical sound in the studio in those days, and here we have a record that falls between both stools of prog and hairspray metal; don't let it put you off, it's still pretty good and every 14 year old boy should be made to listen to this. The centrepiece of the whole album is its 20 minute title track, the 2112 ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Enter the Tme Machine for the year 2112! (290 words)

First, I know that I will catch heat for this statement, but believe it or not, this album was meant to sound a lot like Led Zeppelin! At this point in their career RUSH was labeled(in the USA) as a Zeppelin rip-off band. Seeing that their influences were Zeppelin, Cream, and Hendrix could you really blame them?! Although every band that followed Zeppelin would imitate them in some way, in the States, RUSH would be critisized most about this fact. Well one of their promoters figured "Why not give the public what they want? If they think RUSH is a Zep rip-off, why not go with that?!" Peart is an avid reader of Science Fiction. He has expressed ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review 2112 - Rush: 2112 great music (201 words)

Rush is one of the most famous rock band from Canada. The Trio is formed by Geddy Lee(vocals and bass), Alex Lifeson(guitar) and the great Neil Peart on drums. 2112 is their most known album and was released in 1976, and it left many influences on the prog-metal scene such as Queenryche, Dream Theater and Symphony X. The opener/titletrack "2112" is a 20 minute suite divided in 7 parts I) Overture II) The Temples Of Syrinx III) Discovery IV) Presentation V) Oracle: The Dream VI) Soliloquy VII) Grand Finale the lyrics were written completely by Neil Peart and speak about a the reign ...  Read the complete review
