<p>Rush was a Canadian heavy progressive rock trio that formed in 1968 in Toronto, Canada. They disbanded in 2018 after Neil Peart announced his retirement due to health reasons. In January 2018, Alex Lifeson confirmed in an interview that Rush's career had come to an end. Tragically, on January 7, 2020, Neil Ellwood Peart passed away at the age of 67 after battling glioblastoma for three years.</p>

with 'moving pictures', rush's complex songwriting and musical virtuosity reached new heights. it'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 the science-fiction-meets-road-movie 'red barchetta,' the epic 'the camera eye,' the cautionary 'witch hunt,' and 'vital signs,' which takes advantage of the budding digital sound technology available at the time the album was recorded. this is probably rush's best album; it's definitely their most accessible.
