I remember when I went to the gym in my hometown I was using a machine, and not even two reps into my exercise I see out of the corner of my eye a man staring at me - I choose to ignore him. They obnoxiously grunt when they lift weights, they take up the entire area with their stuff, and you can't help but feel like there's at least one who's watching you - anticipating a mistake or "checking out" your form. It is Rush's first album that I can call a masterpiece. It has also influenced so many bands from Dream Theater to Porcupine Tree. I really enjoy 2112 and consider to be one of the best progressive rock albums of all time. This album took the sound and ideas from Caress of Steel and improved upon them in a huge way. Neil Peart's drum playing is fantastic and the lyrics he wrote for the record are among his best moments as a story teller.Ĭaress of Steel was a very good album, but it had flaws throughout. Geddy Lee has very good bass lines and energetic vocals throughout the entirety of this record. This album is one of Alex Lifeson's best albums and further demonstrates the elite player he is. While their last album had a complete stylistic shift to a progressive sound, this album perfects that sound. Rush's 2112 is the first classic Rush album. "Something for Nothing" is an excellent closer to a great album.

The whole song has a great message and is full of energy, I absolutely love it. I love Lifeson's solo, it may be my favorite on the entire album. Lifeson's guitar riffs are perfect for this style and Neil's drums really come through. Geddy's bass playing and vocals are great on this song.

Nothing comes free is the whole message of the song. It has a great message about needing to put in work in order to get rewarded.
"Something for Nothing" is the hard rocker from this album and is perfectly placed at the end of the album. "Tears" is the weakest song on the album, but it has certainly grown on me over the years. The acoustic guitar playing and the entire atmosphere of the song just further demonstrates Rush's ability to make varied types of music. His vocals on this track aren't very good, but they get the job done.
It has beautiful lyricism and I really enjoy the bass playing by Geddy Lee. Here are all of Rush’s albums ranked."Tears" is a really great attempt by Rush to make a different track than what we're used to hearing from the band. After nearly three years of an uncertain future, Lifeson reluctantly announced in January 2018 that the band was not going to continue. Rush announced plans to cease large-scale touring at the end of 2015, following the conclusion of their R40 Live Tour. In the early 1990s, Rush returned to a guitar-driven hard rock sound, which continued for the rest of their career. The band’s musical style has changed several times over the years, from a blues-inspired hard rock beginning, later moving into progressive rock, and including a period marked by heavy use of synthesizers. Rush is known for its musicianship, complex compositions, and eclectic lyrical motifs drawing heavily on science fiction, fantasy, and philosophy. Formed in 1968, the band went through several configurations until arriving at its longest and classic line-up when Peart replaced original drummer John Rutsey in July 1974, two weeks before the group’s first tour of the United States.
Rush was a Canadian rock band consisting of Geddy Lee (bass, vocals, keyboards), Alex Lifeson (guitars), and Neil Peart (drums, percussion).
