2112 (album)

A 2112 album by the Canadian progressive rock band Rush . The album appeared in 1976, the fourth studio album from the band. The first side of the LP was completely filled with the title song "2112," a 20-minute epic work in seven parts. It is based on the novel Anthem by Ayn Rand . The record company would rather not new epic song on this album, because of flopping Caress of Steel containing two such long numbers. The band went ahead and wrote one of their first masterpieces. The album was their final breakthrough in the United States .
