_hi_water._ Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I spun that today because it's been a while since I've listened to it. I like "Lessons" a lot more on today's listen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 It made such an impression on me when it was released. #5 in my all time Rush album rankings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex’s Amazing Arpeggios Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 A very important album within the Rush CatalogueIt’s ranked at No.7 for me. The title track however is myNo.3 of their long epics just very microscopically behind Xanadu & Natural Science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weatherman Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 It made such an impression on me when it was released. #5 in my all time Rush album rankings.Me too, when I discovered it in the early 90s.It's easily #1 or #2 for me, tied with MP. And I like side 2 as much, or even more, than side 1. A non-Rush fan friend texted me last year, "I've been listening to 2112 this week. You were right. It really is very, very good."

ytserush Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 According to Google and other research, 2112 was released exactly 46 years ago today! That is the official accepted date but It it seems to have actually been released two to three weeks earlier according to Billboard advertising and chart dates in 1976. I looked for thread about it here but couldn't find it. I may not have posted it on this message board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall reading something like March 1976 but if that's the case it's only a month off which isn't that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I met this album when it still was fairly young. Made one hell of an impression. Still is epic. I still put it above Zep lV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be able to check the weather forecast for that period. May be able to narrow it down further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
