HereAgain Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Both of these side-long masterpieces are truly amazing. I feel that 2112 broke them into the big time while the musicianship on Hemispheres improved dramatically. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEEtheV Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I think 2112 blew it wide open for them (We have assumed control) but I never get tired of listening to Hemispheres (OK, maybe a LITTLE, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I love 2112, but Hemispheres has much more personal significance to me. Not to mention, a happier ending  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I love 2112 but I'm not a huge fan of Discovery. Hemispheres is perfect all the way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 "Hemispheres" holds together as a singular song, whereas, "2112" is really several songs strung together. I much prefer "Hemispheres". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hemispheres, love the story, love the message, it's immaculately put together both musically and lyrically along with how the two interact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmclark Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hemispheres by a country mile. Hands down, easy-peasy. 2112 has its moments, but Discovery is possibly in the Top 5 Worst Things They've Ever Done list, and given that it's right up front after Temples, it throws me right out of the song and I skip the rest. That said, Grand Finale is one of my all time favorite pieces of music they've ever recorded. "WE HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL" - indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hemispheres easily but 2112 is easier for first time listeners I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hemispheres. Absolutely. 2112 was written and performed by a band that was trying to get a foothold on what they wanted to do and it did the job. But Hemispheres realized the potential.

CMWriter Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I like "2112" better (primarily for the story) but "Hemispheres" is the better song. It's overall more impressive and obviously from a more mature band, even in the space of just those couple years. "2112" has the edge for me overall but I can't say it's better than its later counterpart. Â Come on guys... it inspired an entire novel from me (which I need to work on; gah). I'm going to be biased. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Utility Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'd say The Necromancer still blows these 2 out of the water, narration aside. For the sake of the thread Hemispheres I suppose; though I can't make it through the full song recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'm not a huge fan of Hemispheres. It's a great song, but I actually prefer Cygnus X-1 to Hemispheres. And I prefer 2112 as well. I love the edginess that 2112 has. I also love the way the whole song culminates in Grand Finale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
