Moving Pictures by Rush

Rush never clicked with me back in the 80s. Although I was partial to a bit of prog, their mix of twiddly-diddly keyboards, earthquake level drums and a weird Canadian bloke singing Ayn Rand inspired libertarian sci-fi songs in a high pitched voice didn’t exactly appeal. 

I listened to the Dolby Atmos remaster of this and while the musicianship is undeniably impressive, especially Neil Peart’s drumming on the instrumental track YYZ, there are still far too many notes for my taste and the whole thing feels a bit cold and clinical.

Atlas Shrugged-tastic!
