Album Review:
Not only is 1981's Moving Pictures Rush's best album, it is undeniably one of the
greatest hard rock albums of all time. The new wave meets hard rock approach of
Permanent Waves is honed to perfection - all seven of the tracks are classics (four
are still featured regularly in concert and on classic rock radio). While other
hard rock bands at the time experimented unsuccessfully with other musical styles,
Rush were one of the few to successfully cross over. The whole entire first side is
perfect - their most renowned song, "Tom Sawyer," kicks things off, and is soon
followed by the racing "Red Barchetta," the instrumental "YYZ," and a song that
examines the pros and cons of stardom, "Limelight." And while the second side isn't
as instantly striking as the first, it is ultimately rewarding. The long and winding
"The Camera Eye" begins with a synth-driven piece before transforming into one of the
band's more straight-ahead epics, while "Witch Hunt" and "Vital Signs" remain two of
the trio's more underrated rock compositions. Rush proved with Moving Pictures that
there was still uncharted territory to explore within the hard rock format, and were
rewarded with their most enduring and popular album.
