A Rush Masterpiece...

By:	FerrisBueller
Date:	14 Aug 2010
Rating:

"Moving Pictures" represents Rush's biggest commercial success to date, with more than 4 million copies sold. Tom Sawyer and Limelight mark highlights of this album, while Witch Hunt represented something of a new trend for the band: a track devoted to social commentary, which would reoccur on future releases. Red Barchetta was more of a throwback to the sci-fi themed tracks of earlier Rush albums, while YYZ (the airport code for Toronto) is a nice instrumental. With "Moving Pictures," synthesizers dominate future Rush albums, so that from this point in their career forward, Rush is firmly established as a New Wave/Progressive Rock band, more than a Heavy Metal group in the mold of Led Zeppelin that they started off as. A superb effort from an expert group of musicians not contented to limit themselves to any particular musical genre.
