MOVING PICTURES

I admit that I find most of Rush's albums a little bit boring at the second listening. For example, in "2112" I like only the first track, and in "Hemispheres" I like all the album only sometimes (a part from "La villa strangiato", one of their best tracks ever).

Well, "Moving Pictures" is the only Rush work that I love to listen always completely, and without boring me. Why? 1) It has SHORT tracks, except for Camera Eye (that is not too long, luckily, because it could have ruined the whole album if it had been more than its time); 2) They're not heavily prog, but more rock n' roll; 3) It has tracks like Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta and the amazing YYZ (wow, I simply love that track, almost perfect!); 4) The riffs are studied and intelligent, and the lineup is really ok.

In the end, this is my fav Rush ever, because it's not pompous like the others, but more sincere and essential.
