Texas King Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I can't believe theses two classic Rush albums were never pitted on this board. AFTK is a winner in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Nether are my favs. i picked 2112 for side 1. side 2 is very underwhelming for me though. and AFTK is WAY over praised. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 This is like the battle of side 2s, because side one of both are equal epics. There's not much I like about AFTK side 2 and Cygnus X-1 is annoying and cheesy to me. Side two of 2112 at least has Bangkok and Something for Nothing, so it's 2112. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Love both, love Side two of 2112, love Madrigal, Tears is Top 10 for me, and Cygnus X1 is the greatest shit ever recorded This is damn near impossible, but I'm going with Kings 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78jazz Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 IMO 2112 may have been the breakthrough, but the elements that made up the classic Rush sound start with AFtK. Also, I think most of side 2 of 2112 is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 AFTK is a wonderful piece of artwork. 2112 is even better. Its close but 2112 gets my vote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Nether are my favs. i picked 2112 for side 1. side 2 is very underwhelming for me though. and AFTK is WAY over praised. Mick2112 easily with me. I put AFTK in the bottom of RUSH albums. I find it disjointed and missing the mark more than most RUSH albums. Two good songs, really. One long, one short. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Overture/Temples/Discovery/Presentation > AFTKOracle/Soliloquy/Finale < XanaduBangkok = Closer to the HeartTwilight Zone > Cinderella ManLessons >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MadrigalTears/Something for Nothing = Cygnus X-1 (great moments, but also pretty face-palmy at times) Coincidentally, I was just about to post a very similar thing...except I was going to go track vs track in order... 1. 2112 > AFTK...too much firepower for the skilled Kings2. Bangkok < Xanadu...too much magic from Xanadu for the fun Bangers3. Twilight Zone < CttH...this is the closest battle4. Lessons < Cinderella...better in every category though I enjoy both 5. Tears > Madrigal...not crazy about either tbh but neither are terrible 6. SFN < Cygnus...two tough tunes but the Black Hole wins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Love both, love Side two of 2112, love Madrigal, Tears is Top 10 for me, and Cygnus X1 is the greatest shit ever recorded This is damn near impossible, but I'm going with Kings I agree...ridiculous to have to choose! As great as 2112 is...I’d still go with Kong’s, by the slightest of margins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
