I'm going for Witch Hunt. And it's on-par with the last track - but because the tracks before it are insanely brilliant, I take those last 2 tracks as a winding-down (as opposed to a let-down). The immaculate production (to my ears, especially for the time) saves it from being anything less than a wonderful album.

Hmmm, definitely one of the ones off of side two. If I remember correctly, I found The Camera Eye the least interesting the last time I put it on, but I'd have to hear the album again to be sure.

I'm going to have to say The Camera Eye. I love the whole album, and I think it's flawless. However, The Camera Eye is a bit too long imo.

Which hunt?

Vital Signs, if there is any track to give such a vote. Witch Hunt is my favourite.

Never cared much for Limelight.

Witch Hunt, on the other hand, is awesome!

Limelight. Whitch Hunt is somehow one of the few moments of Rush that can move me emotionally.

I'm not sure why so many think Witch Hunt is weak, it's always been one of my favorites. It's got such a sinister and lonely vibe to it. Removed the few though, as I'm moved by Rush with quite a few songs.  Wink

Witch Hunt is actually pretty good. It's between Limelight and The Camera Eye, and I'd rather listen to the shorter song just to get it over with, so The Camera Eye is my vote. There's nothing fundamentally bad on the album though.

None. They're all equal in my opinion. Vital Signs however is my favorite so I suppose everything else is behind that.

Totally agree. They are still great songs though.

Limelight. As a 35+ year Rush fan, it's one of those tracks I've heard so many times that I never need to hear it again. Tom sawyer is like that as well.

Camera Eye is an experience in and of itself. Put on the head phones, lay down, close your eyes and just melt into it. It's my favorite song on the album with Red Barchetta a close second.
