Free Music Review: another effort from Rush
Hit: 4 Stars
Not their best album, but close to it. I've never been a fan of "Red Barchetta" because the quiet vocals that build up in the beginning just pass by harmlessly, but not really excitedly. Almost like the band wanted to open the song with mellow vocals without caring a whole lot about making them interesting to the listener. I guess when the song gets going and the rocking section comes in, it improves. "Tom Sawyer" is a classic as well. What makes the other songs memorable is the fact that, this is an 80's album, and the band still had the spirit of the late 70's prog rock movement on their minds, because many of these songs could be from the 70's and I wouldn't know the difference. Great album.
Moving Pictures Poster
With Moving Pictures, Rush's complex songwriting and musical virtuosity reached new heights. It's that rarest of creatures, a highly listenable progressive-rock album; even the all-instrumental "YYZ" is of interest to listeners besides musicians. The highlight of the album is "Limelight"; like many progressive-rock bands, Rush writes songs about the experience of being on-stage. The result is impressive, with almost orchestral arrangements that never overwhelm the actual music. "Tom Sawyer," another classic, is on this album, as well as the science-fiction-meets-road-movie "Red Barchetta," the epic "The Camera Eye," the cautionary "Witch Hunt," and "Vital Signs," which takes advantage of the budding digital sound technology available at the time the album was recorded. This is probably Rush's best album; it's definitely their most accessible. --Genevieve WilliamsPop Music CDs
