There seems to be a fascination with making album covers that look sort of Sci-Fi in the 70s. Rush though knows how to make an epic album with great guitars, and vocals to match though. It's very monumental rock music. Actually, the band was being pressured to not do another concept album from their record label after the previous failure of Caress of Steel, but the band did what they want, and proved them wrong. This is definitely one of the better concept albums out there.
The first of the album is "2112", which is compiled of songs into one. This really showcases some of the best moments of the whole album. The way it picks up and slows back down creates a great vibe. Geddy Lee does lead vocals, and honestly I haven't heard anything like his voice so far on the list. It's definitely bringing in more of the vocal sounds you'll here in the 80s too. These guys though have proven me wrong so far on my hesitance about prog rock though.
