Another RUSH album! OH BOY! This album is probably my most favorite album they put out in the 1990s. The style has changed with the times. And the music is just AWESOME! Good listens on this album are Dreamline, Bravado, Roll The Bones, Where's my thing? Neurotica and Ghost Of A Chance. The band has not lost their touch or talent after all these years of playing. And the Roll The Bones album mad in 1991 proves it. Sure the musical style changed with the times. But it is STILL some GREAT music. I highly recommend it for any RUSH fan!
My favorite song is Roll the Bones.Rush got better as they got older.The singer had a girly,whinny voice in the earlier days.But they really got better.I went to two of there concerts when I was younger.
With singles like "Roll the Bones" and "Dreamline" you can't go wrong. Rush moves forward in their muscial style and still holds true to it's roots. Another great example of the musical prowess that Lee, Lifeson, and Peart have, "Where's My Thing" is yet another amazing instrumental. If you are a long-time lover of Rush, you already own and love this album, but if you're new to Rush this is a great album to get knee-deep in the legacy that Rush continues to lead.
Had the tape back then when it first came out, so just remember about this cd. and this was a cheap way to go. the delivery was fast and didnt have no problems with anything. would do business again if ever need a cd to buy.

The Guitars are Back, But the Songwriting Isn't

Pros: There are some nice moments in here... and I like that they improved their sound.
Cons: Too many of these songs are lifeless and boring.

Lastly and most importantly, this review is not necessarily written by the point of view of a Rush fan.) Overall Score: 2/5 Best song: Where's My Thing? Worst song: .....I don't know. So many of them seem so alike Review Body: A new decade = a new sound. As soon as the '80s were over, the rock 'n' roll...

Rush rolls a Lucky Seven with Roll The Bones
Review created: 06/29/01

Pros: Back to basics with a 90's flare.
Cons: Some may interpret the rap session incorrectly.
Enter the 90's and enter the continuing evolution of the progressive power trio from Canada known as Rush. Wanting to begin their third decade of music making with a bang, Rush took a look to their past to include something on their latest album that hadn't been present in 10 years - an instrumental. In addition to that nice surprise, Rush began their 'Back to Basics' motto that would be clearly evident in their forthcoming album Counterparts. Roll The Bones is a great example of a rock group clearly having fun and enjoying what they're doing. Rush have always taken their music making very..

Where is my thing???

Pros: More guitar work, better composition than 80's work.
Cons: Not awe inspiring (can you believe that's a con?)
Roll the Bones Rush moves into comfortable territory, consolidating a style they ve cultivated for at least three albums. The band has found its niche and plans to stick to it with only minor adjustments to their sound. And it is a worthy sound, rich with catchy guitar licks and creative rhythms, topped by Peart s thoughtful lyrics. The band has made it their goal to break pop clich s with their innovative musical twists. What is best about this album? The keyboards have been put back in their proper place, as a backup instrument to emphasize the mood. Don t get me wrong, I have nothing...

Their best album since Signals.
Review created: 08/05/03

Pros: Bravado, Where's My Thing?, and Ghost of a Chance.
Cons: A few weak songs and a horrible production.
"Honey, when you're done with that chicken, can you roll them bones?". This was said by guitarist Alex Lifeson in a radio interview to promote the album Roll The Bones that I had the pleasure of listening to the day before the album came out. Geddy and Alex were in a very relaxed and funny mood and seemed very excited about the album. After listening to it, I can understand why...it is easily their most enjoyable album since 1982's Signals. There is a sense of looseness and playfulness about the album, though it has it's share of serious songs also. Rush really seemed to enjoy themselves on..

A good effort from Rush and much better than 1989's Presto.
Review created: 06/07/02
by: alan-smithee -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Lots of vibrant energy throughout. Typically great musical performances. Great lyrics.
Cons: 2 weak songs. Production is too thin and takes away from the album.
Rush's 1991 album Roll the Bones was their 2nd release for their new label Atlantic. This album represented a vast improvement over 1989's Presto and marked a return to form for the Canadian power-trio. While Presto seemed very bland and lackluster (with the exception of the terrific "Show Don't Tell") with a production sound that just came across as puny, Roll the Bones seems to just be much more alive and aware as well as boasting an energetic feel that had been missing on their last couple releases. Even though the album shares the same thin sound (though not quite as bad) as Presto, it...
