Editorial Reviews RUSH Moving Pictures CD With _Moving Pictures_, Rush’s complex songwriting and musical virtuosityreached new heights. It’s that rarest of creatures, a highly listenableprogressive-rock album; even the all-instrumental “YYZ” is of interest tolisteners besides musicians. The highlight of the album is “Limelight”; likemany progressive-rock bands, Rush writes songs about the experience of beingon-stage. The result is impressive, with almost orchestral arrangements thatnever overwhelm the actual music. “Tom Sawyer,” another classic, is on thisalbum, as well as the science-fiction-meets-road-movie “Red Barchetta,” theepic “The Camera Eye,” the cautionary “Witch Hunt,” and “Vital Signs,” whichtakes advantage of the budding digital sound technology available at the timethe album was recorded. This is probably Rush’s best album; it’s definitelytheir most accessible. –_Genevieve Williams_
