Whereas Rush's first two releases, their self-titled debut and Fly by Night, helped create a buzz among hard rock fans worldwide, the more progressive third release, Caress of Steel, confused many of their supporters. The band knew it was now or never with their fourth release, and they delivered just in time -- 1976's 2112 proved to be their much sought-after commercial breakthrough and remains one of their most popular albums. Instead of choosing between prog rock or heavy rock, both styles are merged together to create an interesting and original approach. The whole entire first side is comprised of the classic title track, which paints a chilling picture of a future world where technology is in control (Peart's lyrics for the piece being influenced by Ayn Rand). Comprised of seven "sections," the track proved that the trio was fast becoming rock's most accomplished instrumentalists. The second side contains shorter selections, such as the Middle Eastern-flavored "A Passage to Bangkok" and the album-closing rocker "Something for Nothing." 2112 is widely considered by Rush fans as their first true "classic" album, the first in a string of similarly high-quality albums. ~ Greg Prato
2112 is archetypal high-concept heavy/art-rock, featuring an interconnected suite of songs and a futuristic science fiction-inspired lyrical theme (courtesy of drummer/sole lyricist Neil Peart). When it came to '70s sci fi rock epics these guys were capable of giving Hawkwind and Jefferson Starship a run for their money. The first half of the album features "2112" proper, a series of interrelated tunes that paint a portrait of a 1984/Brave New World-style future, where music and emotion are outlawed. Ultimately, our hero discovers a guitar and uses it to fight the powers that be, all to the accompaniment of vaguely Led Zeppelin-derived heavy rock riffs and daunting time signatures. The final five tunes are unrelated to the concept piece but continue in a similar musical vein, though a little balladry is mixed in towards the end. 2112 Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews 2112 will live on to 2112
one of thier best pieces of work.the whole side one (2112) blows you away with trashing guitar,drums ad screeching vocals and also shows the softer side of the group possibly thier best song.after the masterpiece the songs of side 2 take you into catchy and softer songs like tears and something for nothing but alltogether keeps the style for side one.i love it i can listen to it 10 times in a row,or at least side one.

Often regarded as a "Poor man's Led Zeppelin" in their own time, these hardy Canadians showed that Yes weren't the only ones capable of epic tunes-and doing them hard and heavy, too. It's amazing to realize even today that all of this wonderful, sometimes overblown sonic goodness came from just three guys.

Rush was the first progressive hard rock pioneers. Drummer Neil Peart is the greatest lyric writer in history puting the science fiction into metal such in this legendary album. This was there major break through the epic track "The Temples Of Syrinx" is half the album!

Prior to one of Rush's first U.S. tours, original drummer John Rutsey split from the band, since he wasn't prepared to commit to the band's rigorous touring schedule. And it proved to be a blessing in disguise, since his replacement was to become one of the most respected rock drummers of ...

When Rush finished their third album, Caress of Steel, the trio was assured that they had created their breakthrough masterpiece. But when the album dropped off the charts soon after its release, it proved otherwise. While it was Rush's first release that fully explored their prog rock side, it did not contain the catchy and more traditional elements of their future popular work -- it's quite often too indulgent and pretentious for a mainstream rock audience to latch onto. And while Rush would eventually excel in composing lengthy songs, the album's two extended tracks -- the 12«-minute "The Necromancer" and the nearly 20-minute "The Fountain of Lamneth" -- show that the band was still ...

While such albums as 1980's Permanent Waves and 1981's Moving Pictures are usually considered Rush's masterpieces (and with good reason), 1978's Hemispheres is just as deserving. Maybe the fact that the album consists of only four compositions (half are lengthy pieces) was a bit too intimidating for some, but the near 20-minute-long "Cygnus X-1 Book II - Hemispheres" is arguably the band's finest extended track. While the story line isn't as comprehensible as "2112" was, it's much more consistent musically, twisting and turning through five different sections which contrast heavy rock sections against more sedate pieces. Neil ...

The Partridge Family don't get much respect from the standard history of rock from the early '70s. Much like their fellow made-for-TV brethren the Monkees, their contributions are written off as pre-fab concoctions that are too trifling to be bothered with. If you fall in line with that kind of thinking you are going to miss one of the best pop acts of the era. Utilizing the cream of behind-the-scenes songwriters from Neil Sedaka to Hot Chocolate's Errol Brown, and the lush vocal harmonies of the uncredited (at the time) background singers, the Partridge Family's songs ...

Brad has been playing music, in some form, for most of his life. It started in Miami, Florida as a teenager playing at parties and singing. He discovered he had a real gift as a musician, songwriter and performer. When he moved to North Carolina he got his first paying gig in a house band at 20 years old. His original band moved to Southern California to pursue their dream of rock stardom. After a few member changes the band became Daddy Warbucks which was one of the most well known and hottest bands on the LA circuit. Eventually, Brad fell in love with Northern California and decided to relocate. From there he toured Europe with a country blues band for two months. He also did a lot of recording,performing, and played with numerous other musical projects. Finally his dream of creating a solo recording was realized. Walk with the Elements was born. And here it is Now! Brad performed all of the vocals and instrumentation except the drums which were played by Chris Krotky. Chris also engineered and co-produced the project. Brad is very pleased to be able to share ...
