[edit] Prog Rock?
Is it really right to call this a progressive rock album? Certainly some of the songs have a prog rock feel (Witch Hunt, YYZ), but the three popular tracks (Tom Sawyer, Limelight, Red Barchetta) don't really seem to be prog rock at all. The review linked to on the page (the rolling stone link is broken, by the way, can anyone find that review?) calls the album hard rock. It seems to me that the album should just be labelled "rock," but I'm hesitant to change it without posting here due to the recent debate on the rush page on this topic.

- We can always do both, since it did have a LOT of progressive influences (keyboards, sound effects, lyrics, etc.). Deckiller 22:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red Barchetta
This page's description of Red Barchetta is way off. The protagonist doesn't "borrow" the car -- the crime is driving itself, which is now illegal. Also, the car is specifically described as "preserved," which contradicts "disused." The uncle deliberately did this for the protagonist, so that he would know the joy of driving. I'm reluctant to just change the existing text because my interpretation is clearly POV and "original research," but then again so is the current version. 70.95.220.131 07:44, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think anyone could reasonably have an objection to your interpertation of the song, so I for one wouldn't rv such changes, however, just to keep everything above board, this thesis, which is linked on the main Rush article, should be justification enough (see page 167) --KaptKos 09:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- KaptKos knows his Rush. Interpretations of lyrics can be tricky because..as mentioned..it's OR. But in this case it would be a good thing. Anger22 10:50, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- I wrote that bit. You're right. It's not a very accurate description of the song (sorry, I was working from memory at the time). I've removed the offending OR remark. Raygun 01:54, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Singles
I was under the impression that Red Barchetta should be included in the chart with the other singles. Being new here, I could be wrong, but I don't see why it is included below the chart, rather than within it. Psychiccheese (talk) 22:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
