I find your lack of faith... disturbing.

This is Rush we're talking about.  They do not "screw up".  Search your feelings.  You know it is true.

Listening to Moving Pictures in 5.1 right now.

Wow, "Red Barchetta" (one of my favorite Rush songs) has never sounded better!

Unfortunately I don't have a 5.1 system (kids and an odd shaped room!) but I would think AFTK would make a great 5.1 mix. But I guess you could say that about most of the catalogue.

Been slow on this as the trip took lots out of me, but by Tuesday night I promise a review.

It took me a second to figure out why you were posting that in this thread.  :lol

I got some of my tax money so I think I'm gonna be ordering my blu ray of Moving Pictures.  :biggrin:

I know this has been probably done here, but I wanted to ask:

What's your favorite Rush album? Mine is a tied between Signals and Permanent Waves.
