Clockwork Angels Tracklist
Clockwork Angels is a concept album made in 2012 by the progressive rock band Rush. It is the first and only full-length concept album that they’ve ever made, where previously they’ve only made side-long concept suites (2112, The Fountain of Lamneth, and Cygnus X-1, Book II: Hemispheres).
The album’s story revolves around a man living in a clockpunk/steampunk-inspired alternate universe of Earth, one who decides one day to explore the world and learn all he could from it. Along the way, he runs into several hardships that test his faith on who and what he believes in.
A novelization of the album was written by science fiction novelist Kevin J. Anderson, which was released 3 months after the album. In 2014, a graphic novel adaptation was released over six issues, also written by Kevin J. Anderson as well as drummer Neil Peart.
