HemiBeers Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) GUP was largely self-produced and it sounded like it. They really needed guidance to tell them that all the songs sound alike. GUP is middle of the road meh. 2112 is top 5 depending on the day.

blueschica Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 2112 all day long! I like GUP, but I agree with Hemibeers; it didn't have the best production. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) I think Grace Under Pressure better than 2112. 2112, the song, is epic. Overall, and I might get kicked out off TRF, but I think 2112, the album, is overrated. "Grace Under Pressure", on the other hand and in my opinion, is a more consistent album. Better songs, better sound and production.No way baby! 2112 is the ultimate metal document from RUSH. Elwood Peart delivers the monumental drum power!Alexander ZIVO brings in the HEAVY guitars featuring searing lead breaks and awesome riffs.Gary "Jeddie" Lee Weinrib lays down the intricate basslines and screams out the screeching Priest of Syrinx vocals GUP cannot come near this with it's reggae rubbish and dull robot stories.That's so funny! When "Grace Under Pressure" came out my friend, Dino and I used to call it reggae from space. Of course, we were high as kites at the time while playing ping pong. (Also, I like different Rush eras/albums for different reasons) Your thread started with which do you prefer. I love both albums but prefer "Grace Under Pressure".

The Cat 3 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I love Treeduck, but just like 2112. :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry1973 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Not a big stretch. Both albums are dystopian as hell. Both about freedom conceptually. Between the Wheels is better than anything on 2112, but 2112 is better on the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"My Rush" is "A Farewell to Kings" / "Hemispheres" for me as a sentimental result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 had 2112 not been a success, there would be no GUP Game over. *mic drop* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 2112 for sure. I do like GUP as a complete album...no songs really stand out on their own for me (maybe DEW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) I like 2112, but I'll play GUP a lot more often. If I want classic-era RUSH, I'll put on Caress of Steel. Fashion-wise...give me the new-wave mullet over the angel-wing bangs and camel toe... Edited March 2, 2019 by goose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure/Hopenosis Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 2112 is an epic journey but GUP for me is a more complete album. GUP is superheavy and erie sounding with the synth, guitar work and lyrical direction. It's a top three album for me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyndseyG Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 2112 for me but if wasn't an easy choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, since I once had a mullet and later the 80's rat tail, yet never wore a kimono, I'll go with GUP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
