Still The Camera Eye. No problems with length but I don't think the arrangement was done as well - it could flow a bit more fluently. This is the most damning criticism I could find.

And just because one hears a track too often is NOT the fault of the track.

Pretty good follow up to the immaculate Permanent Waves.

Camera Eye is an experience in and of itself. Put on the head phones, lay down, close your eyes and just melt into it. It's my favorite song on the album with Red Barchetta a close second.


Agree with you on Camera Eye!

Vital Signs for me but it's still pretty damn good

I voted Camera Eye - because it lacks any real dynamic for me.

But I still like it - the weakest track is still decent - great album.

Moving Pictures reminds me of Going for the One - a great album but the last great one after an impressive run of consecutive masterpieces.

I actually love every track. If I really have to name one track I like a little less than the rest it is Witch Hunt

Limelight. That's why it's on the radio more often than the others.

I believe that my esteemed colleague Jose is referring to the OP's question.  As in there isn't a "Worse" song on Moving Pictures because they are all excellent because it is the best album ever recorded in the history of mankind.

Limelight is "winning" really? That's one of my favorites from that album. I never get tired of that one because it's catchy as hell. Yeah, it's been overplayed but for good reason. I chose "vital signs" because it's just boring to me.

Totally agree. They are still great songs though.

Maybe I need to hear "vital signs" 100 more times to appreciate it and then again maybe not. I wouldn't say it's a great track. I wouldn't even say it's a good track. In my opinion it's an ok track. Not good not bad just ok. It is the weakest link on the album though(at least for me). Witch Hunt I like a lot because I like the synth break and I like the fake mob scene in the beginning. It might not be as good as "Camera Eye" or "Tom Sawyer" but I still think it's a pretty strong track. I actually probably like it as much as "Red Barchetta" if not more so.
