PermanentMovingSignals Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 For me, Moving Pictures is the best rock album ever made. It is perfect in every way. Hemispheres is great, but it's not their best. Cygnus X-1 Book 2 was just taking the prog thing a bit too far. Hemispheres might be the best album for prog-rock fans but in my opinion, albums like Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and Power Windows, are just better. After Hemispheres, Rush figured out how to put more emotion and more perfection in a 5-minute song, than they used to do in 20-minute songs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClashWho Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hey, if it's your favorite, it's their best. It's not my favorite, though. Side one doesn't do much for me. Not too impressed with "Circumstances," either. "The Trees" and "La Villa Strangiatto" are both superb. I'd say that A Farewell to Kings is their best album. I love every second of that one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course AFTK is EPIC. But nothing on the planet touches "Hemispheres." The bonus poster inside is beyond amazing! Even Japan made a mini replica poster inside the Japanese cd cardboard pressing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I did a music video shoot with the band I'm in and of course I'm wearing a "Hemispheres" tee. Duh! LOL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tks95747 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 In my opinion, you can't beat Moving Pictures. The songs, the sound quality... It's just a perfect album.Most of the world agrees with this. People, who haven't, and maybe, don't have all of Rush's c.ds, and albums, and listened to all of their music, and are only familiar, with "Moving Pictures" might say it's "Moving Pictures".As would people who have been fans for nearly 40 years.It's definitely their best 80s album but Hemispheres and Permanent Waves are better.Two '70's albums! :)Were you referring to PeW as a 70's album? PeW was released on Jan. 14, 1980. That was the root of my confusion. It was my impression that he said that MP was their 'best' 80's album, but then goes on to say that PeW is better.. Both MP and PeW can't occupy the same space as 'best' at the same time (both being 80's records) and if MP is the 'best' 80's album, then PeW necessarily could not be "better" than MP... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na na na Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hemispheres is one of their best albums. I feel the same way about Power Windows, but I can't compare those to albums and say one is better than the other. Two brilliant incarnations of Rush at their best...in my world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnoble Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 He's right about CA's mix and sound. Its a giant mush of layered guitars basses and vocals. If you love the songs that's cool but no way is it a better produced album than almost anything before it. Original VT is maybe worse. Or RTB for gutless pop tinnyness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hear how anyone can disagree with this. I have days when I can enjoy it, but I often need to skip a good five or six once they get halfway through (it really is repetitive!). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
