Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording:
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 Williams

I bought this when it came out in vinyl as my first album. This is classic; I can't believe my taste was that good back then. Not a bad song on here. Even the instrumental YYZ is well worth a listen. If you haven't listened to Rush, then I have to warn you there is often something to get you thinking in the lyrics. I personally think this is their best album overall, but I have probably listened to The Trees off Hemispheres more than any other single Rush song.

This item came just as described. Sleeve is in great condition. Record has minor scratching, and caused it to skip a little, but description mentioned that, so all is satisfactory. Keep up the good work!!

"Moving Pictures" marks the equilibrium synthesis of the proggy late-70s era of Rush and the 80s analog-synth heaven that is the 80s era of Rush. This combination makes for one of the best Rush albums ever, and a must-have for all lovers of progressive music, 80s-synth rock, and of any type of rock music in general.
1. Tom Sawyer 10/10 - Proof positive that a catchy radio hit can also be proggy as hell. Delicious smorgasbord of catchy radio rock, prog-rock, and 80s synths. Awesome

On this record Rush solidified its status as one of arena rock's biggest and best bands. What I like most about this album is that it's loaded with hooks, but it doesn't actually become a pop album. And there still aren't any traditional pop songs on here. (Well, maybe "Vital Signs" comes close.) I am sure that you don't need to read again that "Tom Sawyer" and "Limelight" are great tracks (they are). There are so many other highlights here:
