Rush is a very talented and creative progressive band, but

one of the main reasons for these 3 stars is Mr. Geddy Lee's vocals here. His trebles were ugly here and sometimes distuned.

If you think I'm telling an absurd , listen to Permanent Waves or Moving Pictures to see what I mean and share the differences. I'm not telling Geddy is a bad singer , but he didn't control  the high-pitched voice here correctly in my opinion.

The side-long track has good instrumentation and cool bass lines as in many Rush's albums, some intelligent guitar parts in the first half. However,is far from being as embracing as Cygnus X-1 book II/ Hemispheres.

A Passage to Bangkok has a congenial riff , but it's only ok.

I don't like Something for Nothing very much because of the repetitive melody which sometimes tires me.

The best song here is the ballad Tears. Beautiful and decent, Mr. Lee sung better here.

I listened Moving Pictures, Hemispheres and Permanent waves too.

2112 was the recording that I liked least. If you're new to this

excellent prog band , try any of the three albuns I mentioned . It's better.
