For a long time I was not a fan of Rush,I didn't like Geddy Lee's voice,but people kept telling me how great a band it was. So I actually started listening to the lyrics on some of their songs and started to like them. The bulk of the story is the A side title track to Rush's 2112 album. Most of the dialogue comes from the lyrics, but some things come from the album linear notes and the introduction, which gives the background, seems to be original to the comic as far as I can tell. It is about a dystopia,where music is banned. The rest is taken up by the B side songs from the album which take up 1-2 pages each. It is best to listen to the songs while reading.
