Bigbobby10 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Caress of Steel, I love it so much. But the Song 2112 blows away the whole album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonmistymemory Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Too tough for me to decide as Caress Of Steel I have a very personal affinity for, 2112 is also awesome! So I have to look at your question as if you were asking if light or shadow is better? When actually one could not exist without the other.

djflex Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 For me 2112. But no slight on caress , which is perhaps my second favorite. But of all the albums , by any band, i have listened to 2112 more than anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx_rush Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 This might be the first poll where I choose not to decide.....I cant pick, they are as close to equal as it gets. 2112 has the better epic, but the rest of CoS is stronger IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Not even the same ballpark. COS is Visalia, Ca. It's Midland, Tx. 2112 is Fenway Park, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DistantEarlySignals Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have nothing against Caress. I like it. Especially Bastille Day, Lakeside Park, The Necromancer... However, 2112 is a far more superior album. I love all of 2112 besides Tears. Caress, I don't like ITIGB or Panacea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 2112 at the edn of the day, mainly because the one side epic is much better.If they had 'necromanced' a little more on side two of COS I might have a different opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexMike Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I voted 2112 because the question was regarding epicness and the title song truly is one of Rush's greatest achievements. However, I probably listen to CoS more often because I love its innocence and sense of reckless abandon, especially on Necromancer and FoL.

EagleMoon Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 2112 by a mile. It oozes the most epicness. Holy of holies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Not even the same ballpark. COS is Visalia, Ca. It's Midland, Tx. 2112 is Fenway Park, etc. You hate 2112 that much? Wow! Comparing it to an antiquated, uncomfortable, poorly designed mini-stadium where drunks, cheats, and liars get together to under-perform is a scathing indictment. I like CoS more than 2112, but 2112 is still amazing, so I could never be that harsh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 2112 has 20 minutes of epic. CoS has 30 minutes of epic. The math is inescapable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I don't really listen to COS. Doesn't really matter though...2112 for the easy win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 2112 is a masterpiece, but in my always bashed opinion, Caress Of Steel has more barmy charm, and I would take Bastille Day, ITIGB, Lakeside Park and Fountain Of Lamneth on a date with my gran. And she would approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaris Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) I prefer 2112. CoS is inconsistent and the songs don't flow very well. The band sound ambitious but the songs get a bit stiff. Necromancer sounds like totally different songs compiled together with poor transitions. Going Bald is a terrible song. The rest are only decent except for FOL, the best of the bunch in my book.
