Oh,by the way the record lable told them to go for radio cuts short and have a hook. This was their answer.

I've watched so many 2112 reactions. They never get old and this was one of my favs. As a 40 year Rush fan here's something I only learned a few years ago sadly. The ending....Attention All Planets of the Solar Federation (7 words repeated 3 times = 21). We Have Assumed Control (4 words repeated 3 times = 12). 2112.

This is the album that changed everything for me musically. I have pictured a movie of this song in my head for over 40 years now.🔥

This song which took up one side of the album 2112 was a screw you to their record label who didn't like the direction they were taking in their music.
They wanted shorter radio friendly songs. The label didn't support their previous album. They decided that if they were going out they were going to do it their way and they wrote this masterpiece! The album was a huge success and the label never bothered them again. Rush took control.
Sci-fi was really popular in the 70's . Reading Lord of the Rings was a right of passage. LOL I read it three times. Neil Peart was an avid reader and he wrote the majority of the lyrics including this song.
He has written a number of books. I have read one of them. Geddy Lee has written two books. On on the bass guitar and he just put out his autobiography My Effin Life which I am reading right now and I am really enjoying it.
Bytor and the Snow Dog
The Necromancer
The Fountain of Lamneth
Xanadu
Cygnus book 1
Cygnus book 2 (Hemispheres)
are a number of their other longer story telling songs.
Xanadu from Exit Stage Left is amazing. Even better than the studio version.
Cheers

There was no other band like them.

Rush makes incredible sound and music with 3 amazing musicians. Neil Peart drummer and writes all the lyrics,his nickname is the Professor.Best 3 man band ever.
They play progressive rock and I seen them live 3 times and grew up with them as a teenager. So glad to see another generation embrace such fantastic music.
Enjoy the Rush ride. Rush is Timeless.

Great reaction, Saeed! Heh, there was no chance you weren't going to like this, given your interests. Still fun to see you experience it for the first time.
You'll get a lot of good info on this track/album, but I'll give you a shorthand version. The band got an ultimatum from their record label that they needed to start putting out more radio-friendly music, or they were finished. They decided if they were going out, they were going out on their own terms. So, they produced this epic track that took up the entire first side of the album by the same name. It was a giant F-U to their label. Not only in terms of being about as non-radio friendly as you can get, but despite it being a proper sci-fi piece if taken literally, it's really about the music industry, with the priests representing the music industry suits.
And the cool thing is, the album really took off, especially in the States. It really put them on the map, and started the extremely successful rest of their careers. They never again had to worry about pressure from their label, and were able to do what they wanted in all the years that followed. It's really a crazy story how it all worked out. And to think their F-U led to such an epic masterpiece, that is still revered to this day.
Once you get more background, you should check it out again, because you'll get even more out of it. Also, there is a lot of text in the video that is not lyrics, that would be good to pause to read, next time. It brings the story even more to life.

Based on a short story "Anthem" by Ayn Rand. Neil was always reading and therefore wrote all the lyrics and eventually books and comic books too. Very much into sci-fi, but his writing matured as he did, philosphically and spiritually. As my high school music teacher once said; "Rush is always worth a listen"

This was a most epic production! An entire generation of metal heads were enthralled and so supportive of the band and music! I hadn't heard this in more decades than I care to admit, and it all came rushing back (no pun intended). Thank you for this journey. Great reaction! Now process andngo re-listen. 😂🤘

Neil Peart got the inspiration for 2112 after reading "Anthem" by Ayn Rand. It's a story of a dystopian future where individuality has been suppressed in favor of the collective. Personal achievement is abolished if not criminalized and there is no individual identity. Then one day the protagonist of the story discovers a trove of lost inventions and a library full of old books and art; creations of the previous society that had thought to have been destroyed under the rise of the current regime. The novel ends with the protagonist discovering the word, "I".
Not only does 2112 parallel the story arc of "Anthem", but it is also a personal statement for the band who had been under pressure from the record company to produce more "radio-friendly" cuts that were shorter in length and had mass appeal. The response was an album whose opening track was 20 minutes long and was a defiant statement to the record company that they were not going to conform to the collective wishes of the industry, and they were going to make the music THEY wanted to make!

Great reaction, brother! It's great that you are a writer and a Sci Fi fan! You will LOVE Rush! Neil Peart, the drummer, is an excellent lyric writer and he was a prolific writer of books! He wrote mostly non-fiction, travel-memoirs, and observations of modern life, along with some fiction. Rush is going to take your brain and heart to the next level, sir! Keep going!

🎼♦️♦️♦️ 2112 !!! I was hoping this was coming soon Saeed. THIS is my favorite song of all time, of any genre , of any Era. Thank you so much for allowing yourself this amazing moment for you. RUSH is simply unlike any other Rock band, ultimate creativity and ultimate musicianship !! 💜💜💜💜🎼🔥🔥🔥🔥 I can't tell how much it means to me to see another music lover discover this song. TY ♦️♦️♦️🎼

The drummer, Neil Peart, was a massive reader. He ended up writing most of the lyrics for the band and even published 4 books. In the early years, most of the songs where stories with real things to say about the world. If you listen to the music, it usually is developed around what is needed to fit the intent of the lyrics. Lots of expansion and contractions to create an emotional effect. Welcome to the deep rabbit hole of Rush! 40 albums over 40 years! 3 guys that will never happen again! Master musicians that because of their fan base, did not have to compromise their music. Check out their documentary, "Beyond the lighted stage". Beware, if you follow the white rabbit down this rabbit hole, you may never leave wonderland!

This was SO cool in the 70's. Buying that album at the record store, getting home, unwrapping the celophane, dropping the needle on the 'HI-FI'!!! HAHA. AND........ This album was one that 'opened-up' like a book, so that was cool - cracking it open reading the story, credits, lyrics along with every new note! (and of course, using the album cover to clean some DOOBIE!!)

What I love about 2112 - and also Cygnus X-1, Book II from the 1978 album Hemispheres - is how Rush incorporates elements of classical music and opera in their compositions, beginning with an introductory overture that previews the musical themes before launching into the story their music will tell. The albums from Fly By Night through Signals are, when taken together, are the greatest outpouring of musical creativity of any band ever. Period. The best way to listen to them is sequentially. It really shows how they evolve.
