Day of Light Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Because I mentioned this in the other topic. I think it's a closer and more relevant comparison, as 2112 and The Astonishing share similar themes, while Scenes does not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day of Light Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Something tells me this poll may end up a little one sided It's very possible! The Astonishing isn't very well-liked. But then again I think it's an honest effort worth comparing. Even if it's a landslide victory towards 2112. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 :laughing guy: 2112. The Astonishing doesn't come close to DT's best work, even if I like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Is this a joke? At least there's a debate to be had with 2112 going up against Scenes. There is no debate here. 2112 is miles and miles better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dwarf Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 :laughing guy: 2112. The Astonishing doesn't come close to DT's best work, even if I like it. Agreed!The Astonishing is a good album,but that's it.It's good,but nowhere near at the summit of classic DT albums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 2112......though not really a concept album. TA had really high points to me.........but 2 hours is WAY to much jerkin' around for it's own good. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I've listened to Act 1 of The Astonishing twice. I haven't had an overwhelming urge to jump into Act 2....2112 owns in every way conceivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Alex's solo in "Soliloquy" is better than any Petrucci effort....he can do more with one note than Petrucci can do with twenty. Oh, and 2112 urinates all over The Astonishing from the highest cliff imaginable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 2112 is definitley a lot more concise than The Astonishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus 2112 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The first half of Astonishing is good, the second disc is blah, my vote goes to 2112. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The first half of Astonishing is good, the second disc is blah, my vote goes to 2112.That sounds like a bummer for me. I was hoping the 2nd part would blow me away....we'll see. Disc 1 for me is good, but I guess I was hoping for something more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) 2112 vs Astonishing. LOL. Come on now...... Maybe if DT had written a shorter, tighter record there would be a comparison.... I think the DT record is quite good, but it's a different animal than 2112, even if the story seems similar. Edited March 25, 2016 by grep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
