2112 is one of the best rock albums ever.

Hemispheres would outrank 2112, in my opinion, save that it's spoiled because the first part of the story, "Cygnus X-1, Book One: The Voyage", is on the album Permanent Waves instead.
OTOH, I'd nominate Moving Pictures as their best to date - haven't had a very good chance to listen thoroughly to Snakes & Arrows yet.
(Why, yes, I'm a bit of a fan - why do you ask?)
Trivia moment: In one issue of Justice League, Green Lantern John Stewart has drawn monitor duty, and the Flash (Wally West) is keeping him company. GL is reading a book of Neil Peart's published poetry. The Flash notes that Rush is sometimes called "math rock", for their habit of changing time signatures within a song. He also says they're his favorite band, because when you have a hyperaccelerated metabolism, plain old 3/4 or 4/4 time gets pretty boring after a while.

| Rush is one of the greatest bands ever in my opinion. All 3 of the members are so amazingly talented. |

im taking my dad to go see them
he's been several times but this will be my first rush concert so it will be awesome
they just released a new album but i hope they play some of their early stuff like the cygnus's
and i agree that hemispheres is better than 2112 not to say that 2112 isnt an absolutely amazing album which it is
and im pretty sure that cygnus x-1 book 1 is on farewell to kings not permanent waves

| Everyone should check out the Snakes & Arrows album. It has very profound meaning, as all of their albums do. Easily one of my favorites, if not most favorite. |
