MOVING PICTURES

Rush never sounded better than they did here. Not only with the actual music, but the recording quality is excellent-all the instruments can be heard crystal clear, and they're mixed so powerfully. The first side of this album is one of the best first sides of all time because each track is so good yet so DIFFERENT than the others. The opener, Tom Sawyer, isn't my favorite track off this effort, but it's so undeniably 'in your face' and perfect for an opener. I also found TS it to be such an mix of musical styles, with the head- bobbing funky beat, the screaming guitars, and the dare I say psychadelic sounds of the keyboard and Geddys vocals when singing 'The world is the world is love and life are deep'. This album was so many people's introduction to Rush, including mine, and one the greatest albums in rock history.
