MOVING PICTURES

Although earlier Rush fans probably seemed disappointed that Rush itself had started sounding a little more mainstream than their earlier albums, this work nonetheless is a masterpiece. The punch at the beginning from "Tom Sawyer" already gives the impression that Rush is coming along strong and will stay that way throughout the album. Other themes such as "Red Barchetta" and "Limelight" reveal a more passive side. "YYZ" and "The Camera Eye" make clever use of instrumentation and reap the fruits of songs that have taken careful time and effort to create something phenomenal.

Any progressive rock fan that's looking deeper into the genre should definitely download/buy songs from this album if they can't find the CD itself on shelves. This is a true testament to what Rush is all about and what they would be in the future.
