Description
Eight albums into an already monumental career, Canadian prog-rock godhead Rush delivered a masterstroke with their complexly twisted, yet still airwave-dominating 1980 full-length, Moving Pictures. Opening mind-smasher “Tom Sawyer” is an all-time epic driven by jazz-freaked backbeats, Escher-spiraling synth melodicism and bassist-vocalist Geddy Lee’s iconically theatrical banshee wail — while he self-described the hit as Rush’s “defining piece,” this album also surges with moments of instrumental metal dexterity (“YYZ”) and heavy reggae-wave experiments (“Vital Signs”). Catch the myth, the mystery and the prog-tastic drift of Moving Pictures now on classic black wax.
