    Alex's solo at the end with Geddy just raw and intense on the bass underneath is one of my favorite Rush moments ever.

    Is there anything so spiritually satisfying as turning someone on to a band and seeing them just dive in headlong? Years ago, this guy I worked with asked me if RUSH was any good, because he has the chance to see them live. Of course I enthusiastically encouraged him to go. He came in the next day completely hoarse and eyes still bugging, just raving. It really felt good to help someone discover RUSH

    Finally someone is giving The Camera Eye some recognition it deserves instead of all these requests for Tom Sawyer or Red Barchetta. Perhaps some day the both of you will listen to other rarely requested songs from this group called "Vital Signs" or "Witch Hunt".

    This was meant as a description of Neil's time while living in New York and London in the early 70's. I've always considered this as Rush's musical version of A Tale of Two Cities (without the tragedy). Just a side note but the final guitar solo was done (as was the entire album) at LeStudio in Quebec, Canada and while recording Alex tried 5 times to nail that lead lick, couldn't get it so he set his guitar down, went outside the studio for a beer and cigarette, came back in and nailed it in one shot!
    As for the marathon Rush listen...HELL YEAH! Love to hear 2112 in one session! maybe after you could do Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves, etc. Just let us know and we'll be there with headphones at the ready! Peace and Thanks Greatly!

    The Rush “Rabbit hole” is deep. The journey is life changing and it’s a pleasure to be along for the ride. It took me forty years to get through their entire discography, but I had to wait for them to create it. You have the entire catalog at your fingertips and I can see you want to hear everything. I suggest you pace yourself and take time to thoroughly appreciate each track. I completely understand that you want to focus on the music and that will always be enjoyable. But with Rush understanding the Lyrics improves the overall experience exponentially. Maybe try reading the lyrics through before reacting. It will allow you to understand without being a distraction.
    TBH just do this however you feel most comfortable, you are going to get a million suggestions on what and how you should react but at the end of the day we are all gonna still be watching, commenting and liking, because it’s Rush and that’s what we do. Thanks!

    Rush is like a fantastic car ride through the mountains. They pull up in your driveway, you get in the car, and off you go. Their music takes you through highs and lows, twist and turns, and then brings you back home. You stand in your driveway, watching them drive away, wondering what the hell just happened?

    Love your sincere joy and smiles, guys! On, Nick's observations about Neil's intentional note choices - It's really, more than anything, what he strength was. Sure, he had chops, but above all he was a composer. Particularly when you're in a three-piece group, using the drums as a *melodic* instrument brings so much. No one wrote drum parts like him - what an amazing gift he was to us.

I've been following them since 1975 and have seen about 90 total concerts only missing the vapor trails tour and test for echoes tour. On the final tour my wife and i seen them in Tampa Fla then Alpharetta GA and finished in Greensboro NC. Watching you two remind me of my wife and I. I wish you could have seen RUSH in the 70s and 80s those were the best times to see RUSH in concert. I subbed to your channel and ENJOY you guys getting into RUSH...What puzzles me is the number of fans that don't have the STAR MAN as an Icon like me for their channel.

    One of the greatest things about Rush is the ARRANGEMENTS. When they put together a song, it seemed to be a group of musical snippets, combined with really deep lyrics often with literary references (Grace Under Pressure is one) a real storytelling insight (read Neil peart's books) and amazing technical chops PLUS dynamic range and tempo changes and composition, and finally the arranging with slight variations with each chorus or a repeated section. All the components came together on this album.

    2112 Was my favorite Rush album for so long. That's their hard rock album, that one really is for the stoners and when I was a young wasted youth skater, that album was definetly a big part of my soundtrack! Really really good, but later I found so much more to love about this band!!! Once they did Permanent Waves they really began to speak their own language man. The songs just became so much more touching and sincere as they matured into the 1980's.

      @@Musiquesaecouter Not necessarily. It's down to the same synth being used in both songs, the Oberheim OBX. The distinctive "sample and hold" LFO feature is used in both songs and was a staple sound of the Oberheim OBX. It was used in other songs by various artists, the ending of "Mr. Roboto" by Styx leaps to mind.

    So there's a couple moments on this video that I fell in love with. 1st, he very quickly recognized that Neil Peart drum parts were in fact very intentional. He is often referred to as the Beethoven of drum parts, so rest assured their assessment is correct in that there was nothing superfluous about neil's drumming. So good job by them noticing that.. the other thing they mention is Rush's superb ability when it comes to song structure. Nobody forms a better song structure than Rush and they both noticed that... the other moment that I really appreciate in this video is he seems to get emotional at one point in the song from being overwhelmed by the impact of the creativity of this band, and she reaches over to rub his shoulder as if to say "I understand and we are in this together and I see you, and I feel you." That was such a beautiful moment between these two. Well done!!!

    This came out when I was in high school. We have carried our enthusiasm for RUSH for decades now. Its was mostly guy music then and most concerts were mostly guys. We watched as more women started coming and then children and even taking our children over the years. Dont be too hard on us older folks. We have carried the thrill of RUSH for so many years. Its impact on us has been amazing. In the chaos of today's daily living, its great to see that you take time to enjoy the music that has come before you by RUSH and so many other talented people. Each review is like a new gift. Keep having fun.

    That is the beauty of Rush. There is 40 years of music to listen to. Their catalog will always have something to offer the listener whether young or old. I have never tired of listening to any of their songs. I even appreciate their song “Tai Shan”. It is supposedly their least favorite song and most fans agree. However, I disagree. It tells a story and conveys mood and feelings like any other Rush song. Keep listening. Cant wait to hear what you both choose next (hint- “The Garden”).

    Geddy made a point to enunciate every word because Neil's lyrics were such a mouthful, again they're songwriting abilities had reached a point where they're were able to weave in and out within tunes so seamlessly.
    You're idea of doing complete album reactions is a super great idea, again I feel you need to get to a chronological order to get a sense of how the boys developed as time went on, the reason Moving Pictures became such a mainstream success is a culmination of what preceded this album, the SEVEN albums released before set the stage for this incredible piece of work!

    "The Camera Eye" was borrowed from writer John Dos Passos which was a technique used to illustrate and describe characters and situations in his U.S.A trilogy. Neil used the same "point of view" to describe New York City in the first verse and London in the second verse. Neil lived in London 1970-1972, he never lived in New York City. The song is a homage to two great international cities. I just discovered your channel and subscribed. I LOVE that you love Rush. They are my all time favorite....you won't be disappointed.
