    Hearing 2112,while spectacularly drunk,and finally getting it after years of resistance.In my weakened state I could no longer deny the almighty power of the opening chords of the Overture.And it was GOOD!

  • Musical Instruments You Play
    a little guitar,drums
  1. La Villa,Followed very,very closely by YYZ. The three on Snakes and Arrows are also rather splendid.
  2. Vapor Trails-for the sheer will and endurance of the human mind and soul it represents.Not to mention the great songs.
  3. Good News First-perfect.So is the rest.This one is just that much ''perfecter''. Also Main Monkey Business.It's hard making something like that sound so ''easy''.
  4. Summertime Blues-nice mix of the Blue Cheer and the Who's versions. The whole ep is fun,tho,you can sense the kick they get out of playing these ol' chestnuts.
  5. Vapor Trail-but I absolutely love the album as a whole.Everything about it. Songs,lyrics,the sound(YES!It's like that for a reason,people)and the no-solo-policy:a mature,selfless and well thought-out move.
  6. Totem-lately,one of my all-time,fave Rushes.Maybe the Viking references?I also like Immigrant Song and Kings & Queens by Aerosmith.Coincidental?
  7. Roll the Bones-the great,uplifting message about life and mortality,the chorus(one of their best,imo,the main part is pretty average)AND the rap,which caused a lot of you guys to hyperventilate,just admit it
  8. The Pass-and this is the other one.Great to have the guitar back(to some extent,but what a flatliner,soundwise)
  9. Time Stands Still-for the message,melody and Aimee's wonderful vocal. This is one of only two Rush-albums where I don't care much for the sound and arrangments.
  10. Manhattan Project-the lyrics. (Big Money is maybe a cooler song when it comes to melody)
  11. Between the Wheels-for the emotion and darkness.Love the lyrics on the album.
  12. Vital Signs-completely slaughters the Police on their own game.Is a billion times better,tho. But again,the whole album is spectacular.The rest of the album ties for second place,this song is just that bit more special for me.
