Classic Album Review: "Moving Pictures (Anthem Records)" - 1981

It’s been twenty-six years since Rush reached new heights, creativity and sheer rock brilliance with their 1981 release, “Moving Pictures.”  With this album, Rush became an AOR-Radio staple with the songs “Limelight”, Red Barchetta and, arguably their most famous song of their career, “Tom Sawyer.  Geddy Lee’s piercing vocals and aggressive bass playing, Alex Lifeson’s powerful and distinctive guitars and Neil Peart’s multi-percussive, monster-drumming allowed them to collectively become rock gods forevermore. This album combines classic hard rock and the budding digital new wave sounds of the early 1980s to perfection.  Many fans regard this production as Rush’s best work and at almost five million copies sold, and continued airplay to this day, they are probably right.
