MOVING PICTURES

While this is not my favorite Rush album, it certainly deserves the overall rating of masterpiece that it has recieved on this site. When I started working through the top 25 reviews on this site, this album was barely in the top 20. Now, it has jumped to number 8. Well deserved. Besides the radio hits (Tom Sawyer and Limelight) this album has no bad songs. In fact, the only one I don't like is Tom Sawyer, and that is mostly due to having heard it WAY too many times. Side 2 is where the really interesting material is, that most people are not really familiar with. The Camera Eye is one of the best Rush songs ever, and Witch Hunt and Vital Signs are well worth hearing. A great album, though I don't consider it a true masterpiece (a matter of taste really). A solid 4.5, but I'll have to round to 4.
