goose Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 For this battle it makes sense to me to pit 2112 against Xanadu and Bangkok against Farewell. I give Xanadu and Bangkok the wins there. Closer beats Twilight Zone Lessons takes Cinderella Tears crushes Madrigal An ambitious but flawed Cygnus still gets the win over Something And that's a tie. 2112 is the better album, though.

I think Madrigal and Tears are pretty close as well, but Tears hits me a little harder, Madrigal makes me think a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With those matchups I’d go... XanaduFarewellCloserCinderellaTearsCygnus That’s 5-1. I had it at 4-2 in the track/track sequential battle. It doesn’t matter though. They’re both A grade albums for me and are just below the perfection of MP, PeW, and Hemis. In order, my favorites are MP, PeW, Hemis, AFTK, 2112. Sigs is #6. Album battles in order of tracks might skew how I actually feel about certain albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I would take everything on AFTK over the second side of 2112. I would have the title track and Xanadu and Cygnus as equal to 2112 title track. AFTK wins this for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something for Nothing is highly underrated. Well crafted with a powerful message. Cyg X-1 has always been too Spinal Tap-ish for me.

diatribein Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 2112 < A Farewell To KingsA Passage To Bangkok > XanaduThe Twilight Zone < Closer To The HeartLessons < Cinderella ManTears < MadrigalSomething For Nothing > Cygnus X-1 4 to 2 win for Kings over 2112. If it was just Overture & The Temples of Syrinx vs. A Farewell To Kings (song) it would have been a dead heat, but there is a reason why A Farewell To Kings is my favourite RUSH album released in the 1970s.
