About this album

2112 is Rush’s breakthrough statement, the album that turned the Canadian trio into prog-rock heavyweights. Released in 1976, it paired the side-long title suite with tighter songs such as A Passage to Bangkok and Something for Nothing, balancing hard-rock punch with ambitious storytelling and intricate musicianship. Produced by Rush and Terry Brown, the record captured Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart sharpening the dramatic, high-concept style that would define their career. Its success helped secure Rush’s commercial future and made 2112 one of the most influential albums in hard rock and progressive rock.
