What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it gives forth a sound.
It has wires that vibrate and give music, what can this thing be that
I've found?

The priests praise my name on this night.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture little Average	#1 by little emo at Mar 2, 1970 at 6:40 PM EST
	This song is about Geddy Lee and his father's drinking problem. It is also about how Geddy and his grandfather used to rustle up black people and drag them behind their pick-up trucks. Alcoholism, and Racism, are my two favorite "-isms" yeah! Rush! high five

No Picture simon Average	#2 by simon cody simon at Jul 19, 1984 at 6:30 PM EST
	I could never think that any song would be good for 21 minutes and 12 seconds but they did it

No Picture John Wanna Be	#3 by John Merritt at Apr 10, 1997 at 9:59 PM EST
	how could anyone not like 2112...i've only seen Overture and Temples of Syrinx live and thats enough to make you piss yourself...i hope they play it full length on their next tour

No Picture jordan Porreca Lead Player	#4 by jordan Porreca porreca at May 24, 2007 at 5:31 AM EST
	I agree with Frank - fantastic band, my favorite hands down. I must say, however, that Caress is a great album. The necromancer and the Fountain are great songs - great guitar work, good storyline (the fountain is based on an Ayn Rand book of the same name about a quest for the fountain of youth). Bastille day is great, and lakeside park is fun and reminiscent. In comparison to 2112, and to may of their other albums, Caress is not a staple. But the album as a standalone is a good piece of work. I think I'm going bald is rockin' and funny as well, a refreshing departure from the typical deep thinking tune.
