Lorraine Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I would have done a poll but no one goes into Feedback. I'm listening to Moving Pictures. And I must say that listening to Queen for a week has given me a new and better appreciation of Rush. Not being disparaging of Queen, but after having listened to them, I really do appreciate Rush all the more. Anyway, back to the subject at hand! :) Listening to Moving Picture and there is not one bad or mediocre song on the album. It is a 7/7 win. No wonder it got them out of debt. It could almost be my favorite Rush album. Which album do you think is better? Does everybody have mixed feelings? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 MP is a stronger album. Better songs, better sound, MUCH better singing. However, Clockwork Angels beats them both 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemispheres is perfection through and though. MickI agree about the last two songs on the album, but I thought to myself that it isn't easy having an album with seven winning songs on it, and that's what Rush did with MP. Hemispheres is on another level and it almost didn't seem fair to put it and MP alongside one another, but I was wondering what others here thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just like builds to the camera Eye. which sounds like it could have been a closer. then the last 2 kinda just sit there. also when i feel i might warm to Witch Hunt.......it ends. kinda abruptly. i know a lot will disagree but what else is new, lol Mick Edited April 14, 2016 by bluefox4000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 "Hemispheres" by a country mile. Of course, I love both albums, but "A Farewell to Kings" and "Hemispheres" are Rush inspired and influenced by Rush. "Moving Pictures" is where the band began incorporating external influences such as The Police into their music. Not a bad thing, just a different approach to making music. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemispheres is perfection through and though. MickGeddy's voice isn't perfection though. It hurts much of the vibe. Musically no doubt it's great, but if you're singing too high, you're singing too high. The band admits they missed it. However, I respect your opinion and genuinely care that you have it. America--what a country!

Not a bad thing, just a different approach to making music.That's what I meant when I said that I thought Hemispheres is on "another level," but I didn't know how to put into the right words. I chose those two albums because I think, if I remember correctly, they are the two most fans like the most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
