#SongOfTheDay: Hand Over Fist by #Rush because it’s #RushDay #2112. One of the least-loved songs from possibly their least-loved albums, Presto, yet it keeps impressing me after over 30 years. Neil’s lyrics invoke rock/paper/scissors as a loose metaphor for communication, its hazards and rewards. From an angry “I swear you don’t listen to me” to greeting a passing stranger in some exotic land. “Feel the strength in his hand / Feel the world expand.” Presto deserves a play on a good system.
2112

2112 is the fourth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released on 1 April 1976 by Anthem Records. Rush finished touring for their unsuccessful previous album Caress of Steel in early 1976. The band was in financial hardship due to the album's disappointing sales, unfavourable critical reception, and a decline in attendance at its shows. The band's international label, Mercury Records, considered dropping Rush but granted the band one more album following negotiations with manager Ray Danniels. Though the label demanded more commercial material, the band decided to continue developing its progressive rock sound. 2112 was recorded in February 1976 in Toronto with regular producer Terry Brown. Its centerpiece is the 20-minute title track, a futuristic science-fiction song that takes up the entire first side of the album. There are five individual tracks on side two. 2112 was released to favourable reviews from music critics and quickly outsold the band's previous albums. It peaked at No. 5 on the Canadian Albums Chart and No. 61 on the US Billboard Top LPs & Tape and was the band's commercial breakthrough in the country.
