PROGRESSIVE ROCK AT IT'S BEST
BY FAR, THIS WAS THE BAND'S GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT. EVERY SONG IS WORTH LISTENING TO, MOST ARE WORTHY OF AIR GUITAR AND DRUMS (EVEN AIR BASS!). THIS IS THE ALBUM THAT MADE RUSH A POWERHOUSE BAND THAT CAN SELL OUT THE BIG ARENAS. ALTHOUGH THE SONGS ARE VERY TECHNICAL FROM A MUSICIAN'S VIEW, THEY ARE ALL VERY EASY TO LISTEN TO. IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD THIS CD, YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON SOME GREAT MUSIC!

It is a more abundant item than the auction site of Japan. I am using what I thought always because a price is cheap.

Classic RushWhen you think of the classic Rush, you think of Moving Pictures. Modern bands try to immitate the liveliness of Limelight, Red Barchetta and YYZ but never come close. It's a great mix of the younder Rush and the albums that were to come in the early 80s. A Must for any classic Rock, Rush or general Rock collection. I can listen to this one for days! (and have!!)

RUSH - Moving Pictures... The gateway for RUSH addicts!Review created: 06/30/07

RUSH - Moving Pictures is like the gateway album into the greatest RUSH music of the early 1980's. Songs like Limelight, Red Barchetta, YYZ, Tom Sawyer, Witch Hunt and Vital Signs are just down-right great songs which are very well written. I believe that this is the album that REALLY put RUSH on the map. This gateway album is what made more RUSH fans go buy other previous albums. Tom Sawyer is the hit they are most famous for. Once people heard Tom Sawyer it was all over. You just HAD TO go out and buy the previous albums. I have listened to this album for over 20 years and NEVER get tired of it. This is one classic album that is SURE to make history. Enjoy!

This is defenitly a classic.THE breakthrough album for RUSH with the radio hits "TOM SAWYER" and "RED BARCHETTA",but i think the true RUSH genius is in the continuing sci-fi fusion of "WITCH HUNT",CAMERA EYE AND "VITAL SIGNS"and of course maybe the best instrumental of all time in "YYZ".And i can't forget "LIMELIGHT" a kind of auto biography.i bought the record of this way back in 1980/81 and listened only to 2112 more in my youth.I'm a huge RUSH fan and i'd say this cd/album belongs in any rock collection.30+ years together, that speaks volumes.

Note: This review is part of a re-writing process I'm going through on my earlier Rush entries. Some of them clearly needed a little more polish so I felt obligated to do so. Rather than delete the original and re-submit a new review, I felt it best to simply modify the original and add a notification of the updated review in PTiemann's Notification System.

Rush has been called the thinking man's rock band ever since they appeared on the scene in the mid 1970s. A lot of their early efforts fell firmly into the prog rock camp, with the complex lyrics of Neil Peart coupled with the singing of Geddy Lee and the wailing guitars of Alex Lifeson. Many of the lyrics have a foundation in sci-fi and philosophical themes (specifically those of Ayn Rand) After releasing complex conceptual works for much of the 70s; Rush began to move into simpler song structures in the early 80s (without sacrificing lyrics or musicianship). Moving Pictures was the second...

Rush's best album!Review created: 10/21/02

Moving Pictures is my favorite Rush album and apparently the favorite of many others as well. It is Rush s best selling studio album. While more commercial than the string of art rock collections of the 70 s, this album stands on the legs of seven strong tunes that are still far from mainstream. They are all linked by theme and it s a blast figuring out how they all relate (I won't rob you of that experience). The sound of this album is a perfect marriage of psychedelic synthesizers and growling guitars, utilizing the strengths of both without compromising the identity of either. Throw in...

"A modern-day warrior/mean, mean stride/today's Tom Sawyer/mean, mean pride" With these four lines, Rush kick off their most well-known song, "Tom Sawyer," which still receives regular radio play 22 years after its release. It has endured for so long because of its unique sound - those who remember it recall its heaviness, moodiness, and the way it combined synthesizers and head-moving riffs with thought-provoking lyrics. This potent sonic blend is the result of Rush being in something of a transitory period. Over the course of three releases - 1980's Permanent Waves, 1981's Moving Pictures,..
