Rush - 2112 Review



  Our first music review, and it's on one of my favorite albums, 2112. The album is from the year 1976 and record by the talented artists in the band Rush. We will be reviewing each song by itself.


2112
 2112 is one of my favorite songs. It tells the story of a man in a strange futuristic society ruled by the Priests of the Temple Sierinx. The man finds a guitar  in a cave and brings it to the priests. The Priests saw that it is an evil machine and it "Doesn't fit the plan!". The man is crushed and wanders home in sadness. The man then has a dream about the people who built the guitar and says that they left our planet long ago and to "Learn and grow". The man then is then incredibly sad, and kills himself. Shortly after the"Elder Race" come back and "Take control". The story of 2112 is continued in Cygnus X-1, on the album Hemispheres.

                                                                       A Passage to Bangkok 
A Passage to Bangkok is about going around the world to smoke weed, that's really it. 

The Twilight Zone
  The Twilight Zone is a great song all about The Twilight Zone TV show. It talks about a couple episodes from the series. The song is one of my favorite Rush songs, right after Red Barchetta. 


Lessons
Lessons is a great song, I'm not sure what it about, but it great. It's a part acoustic guitar part electric guitar. A great song though and really worth listening to.

Tears
   Tears is a beautiful song, about either heartbreak or just being sad in general.  It's a great song but i don't have much to say about it.


Something For Nothing
Something For Nothing is another favorite of mine. Again not really sure what's about. And also Again i have almost nothing to say about other than it's great.
