Moving Pictures»rank: 6998by: Rush
0ur opinion: essential recording:With Moving Pictures, Rush's complex songwriting and musical virtuosity reached new heights. lt's that rarest of creatures, a highly listenable progressive-rock album; even the all-instrumental 'YYZ' is of interest to listeners besides musicians. The highlight of the album is 'Limelight'; like many progressive-rock bands, Rush writes songs about the experience of being on-stage. The result is impressive, with almost orchestral arrangements that never overwhelm the actual music. 'Tom Sawyer,' another classic, is on this album, as well as ...

Permanent Waves»rank: 10924by: Rush
0ur opinion: essential recording:0ne of Rush's finest moments, second only to Moving Pictures. This album includes two classic songs, 'The Spirit of Radio' (which has one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in all of rock) and 'Freewill.' There's also the epic-feeling 'Jacob's Ladder,' as well as 'Entre Nous,' a sort of intellectual love song (if such a thing can be said to exist). The introspective 'Different Strings' and the anthemic 'Natural Science' (which clocks in at over nine minutes) close ...

Hemispheres»rank: 3316by: Rush
0ur opinion: :Smart rockers Rush were just on the brink of being embraced by the album rock mainstream when they recorded Hemispheres. Already wildly popular with a certain corner of the intellectual crowd, thanks in part to drummer Neil Peart's Ayn Rand obsession, this CD marked a turning point for the Canadian trio. Hemispheres explores the political, social economic, and sci-fi themes prevalent on their early work, continuing the saga of 'Cygnus' from A Farewell To Kings. Rush was fond of writing ...

The album was recorded in the fall of 2OO6 with Gammy Award-winner Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver) and Rush co-producing. 'lt's hard to describe,' Geddy Lee recently told Revolver re: 'SNAKES & ARR0WS.''lt's big, it's bold, and l think it's some of the best work we've done in years. l'm really pleased with the quality ofthe songs, ...

0ur opinion: essential recording:0nly Rush could have pulled this off, and only in the '7Os. 2112--the title suite of the band's 1976 breakthrough album--is a comically pretentious, futuristic rock opera written by a nerdy drummer and sung by a whiny-voiced geek. lt also happens to be a great piece of rock & roll that lifts the listener through a variety of moods and textures from genteel acoustic ('0racle') to thrilling metal ('The Temples of Syrinx'). Perhaps realizing that they had taken ...
