savagegrace26 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Polar opposites stylistically. Signals is more consitently great and more powerful as an overall album. I go with Signals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbobby10 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Signals. As much as 2112 is a great song. Side 2 just doesn't live up to Signals Edited October 18, 2014 by bigbobby10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len(songs) Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Signals. I like every song on 2112 minus TTZ but I think the title track is quite overrated (though no doubt important). Signals just seems to hold up better to me, apart from the subpar Chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 the six albums after 2112 are all better than 2112, imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 2112 is obviously the best choice for when you wanna rock out, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cosmic Lawnmower Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Signals. As much as 2112 is a great song. Side 2 just doesn't live up to Signals I'll have to agree on that, Side 2 of 2112 just doesn't maintain the freshness of the title track Other then that It is still the quintessential Rush album :) Edited October 18, 2014 by The Cosmic Lawnmower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Signals. I could live without ever hearing 2112 again, but not Signals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Gotta go with 2112 for the title track and Bangkok alone. Some of Alex's finest guitar moments in those two songs. Lessons and Something for Nothing are also awesome, and Tears and Twilight are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disk98 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I can't choose! 2112 and A Passage to Bangkok or Subdivisions and The Analog Kid? 2112's only weak spot is Lessons, which isn't even all that bad. Signals has two (Chemistry and, yes, The Weapon—don't shoot me!!!) weak songs, but more generally good ones. Man, this one's tough. I'm not voting.

Rick N. Backer Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Signals is their third best album. 2112 isn't 1 or 1A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Overall, Signals is more consistent. But then again the highs on Signals sound mediocre compared to the best moments on 2112, both sides. So I go for 2112, not only because that title track is a complete smash. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The album that made their careers or the one that started the decline? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Pretty much what SG26 said. Consistently great minus Chemistry. 2112 to me is kinda like a sandwich with great bread and horrible filling. 2112 and SFN are awesome, among the band's finest work. Bangkok and Tears are alright, but Twilight Zone and Lessons are pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
