I'd put Clockwork higher personally but that's just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Don't get me wrong, HYF is a very good album, and for me the last of what I would term their "great" albums. But there is no way in a million years it can be compared to 2112 which is just magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I should be flogged for actually taking a moment to consider this. Side A of 2112 seals the deal but is Tai Shan really worse than Twilight Zone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I should be flogged for actually taking a moment to consider this. Side A of 2112 seals the deal but is Tai Shan really worse than Twilight Zone? See I agree so much! Some of the bands worst songs were from the seventies. Sure, saying they are all better than the worst of the nineties is hardly a surprise, but so many treat the seventies releases like they were top to bottom flawless! Passage To Bangkok is crud. Nice riffs but nope! Lessons? Great riffing but any band in the seventies could have done it. Something For Nothing? Per-lease. HYF might on the surface sound like a shiny pop album, but it hits emotional highs 2112 could only if dreamed of (discounting the title track, which I personally find to be deeply emotive).

New World Kid Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 2112 the song/suite is so good. The B Side of the album was very meh. 2112 B Side < Hold Your Fire < 2112 Suite In the end, the strongest material is mostly on 2112, so I'll vote 2112.
