MOVING PICTURES

I really like 2112, Hemispheres, and even A Farewell to Kings. However, unlike those albums which include some amazingly unique and progressive tunes such as 2112, La Villa Strangiato, and The Trees, Moving Pictures is nothing more than a collection of tedious pop songs with some rather boring prog-like songs thrown in. In my opinion, it is the most overated album reviewed on this site. And Tom Sawyer could rank among the most annoying songs ever recorded. Maybe this is due to having been overplayed to death on the radio, or maybe it is because it is just a bad song. But I simply cannot listen to it. As much as I like Rush, I just cannot see why this album is so popular.
