SheriffJohnBrown Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Tears. Such a beautiful song. 2112 is great - but, I have to admit, it sort of loses flow after Syrinx.
defrushfan01 Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) I really like the whole album but tears and lessons, but other than that its great Rocks Edited April 22, 2005 by defrushfan01
DrumDragon Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 QUOTE (RushRevisited @ Aug 23 2004, 10:26 PM) What do you think is the best song from this album? Now the great epic 2112 is incredible no doubt but....... Twighlight zone is picked because of the Rush made the song feel as if it was part of the show. the music is strange and spooky!
vital signz Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 2112....My band once won a talent show playing Overture and Temples of Syrinx......It was one of those lifetime moments....
allhailtheprofessor Posted May 8, 2005 Posted May 8, 2005 Every song on there is a beast, but 2112 totally takes the cake. Presentation (my favorite part) is an uplifting, ass kicking esperience every time with it's emotional bass line and guitar part and The Professor's lessons on drum fills, Overature is so unike and powerful, and Grand Finalie is a mind blowing spiral into an amazing conclusion. I could talk better with a fellow drummer on my favorite aspects of the song, but heres what I think for you all to hear. If theres any drummers, contact me.
Lerxstforever Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 2112, not question, but I like Lessons and Tears alot.
rushgoober Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 i guess i have to go with the crowd here and give the award to the 2112 suite - it's somewhat of an unfair comparison since it really is more a suite of songs than just 1 long song, but it's power is truly amazing. if we were going for something shorter, i would have to say that overture is one of the most powerful things they ever did, but a passage to bangkok is undoubtedly also a classic, and cleverly disguised enough that parents at the time surely didn't know what it was really about...
Guest Xourque Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Yeah, Anthem is a great awesome book. And yes, 2112 has some awesome intrumentals in it. But do not forget Something For Nothing! Being a youth, I can appreciate the lyrical aspects of this song. Recently, I annoyed my girl friend with it because she is in that teenage girl "everything will come to me in time, so I don't have to make any efforts" mindset. You don't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes no matter what your dreams might be! (Hopefuly, she won't use my Rush enthusiasm as a reason to break up with me.. hahahahaha)

Slacker Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 QUOTE (slacker @ Nov 3 2004, 05:53 AM) You still can"t have something for nothing?...2112,tears, LESSONS O.K Still feel the same way
Daggy Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Best track? Well it has to be 2112 itself doesn't it. But lets be honest it's completely mental from start to finish, but completely awesome at the same time. An acoustic guitar found behind a waterfall, let there who knows when, not rusty, still in tune and our hero learns to play it in approx 3 minutes. Then knowledge of said guitar topples a government...wish i could find one like that here in Blighty!
Fox2112 Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Hmmmmm, I have to go with Passage to Bangkok. And do you know why??????? Because its all about sampling and smoking the best erb from the Near, Middle and Far East. Ah I love those Canadian Stoners.
neilpeartjr Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 (edited) 2112 is an obvious pick -- thats what initially put them on the map. But I've listened to it so many times, I started to listening to the other songs. Tears is pretty good, but a Passage to Bangkok sounds just plain awesome. Edited June 14, 2005 by neilpeartjr
sullysue Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 (edited) Passage to Bangkok. This song opens with that completely unique guitar, drifting in its Far East sound, and then the words... I'm sure they were drinking Deja Blue and high on Nicorette patches... Edited June 19, 2005 by sullysue
CanEHdian Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 I had a hard time to choose my favorite, because the WHOLE album is my favorite! I chose Tears after much thought. Tears was the first 'mellow/love' tune I had ever heard from Rush. Mind you I was 12 years old the first time I heard it, but it stuck with me 4 ever My second favorite is A Passage to Bangkok
namlaks Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Clearly 2112, but if I had to pick one of the other tracks from the album it would be A Passage to Bangkok. I love the tone of the guitar solo in it.
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 QUOTE (amrush @ Jun 28 2005, 11:11 PM) Title track... Next... AM Rush That speaks for almost everybody. This has to be the most lopsided poll of all the albums.
