Album Notes Rush: Geddy Lee (vocals, synthesizer, bass); Alex Lifeson (guitar, background vocals); Neil Peart (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Rupert Hine (keyboards, background vocals). Recorded at Le Studio, Morin Heights, Quebec, Canada. Many Rush fans were pleased to see the band return to a more straightforward approach with 1989's PRESTO, and break out of their "synthesizer rut" of the mid-to-late-'80s (after all, Rush had made a name for themselves with technically proficient hard rock). Cut from the same musical cloth is their follow-up, 1991's ROLL THE BONES, which was the second consecutive Rush release co-produced by the band and Rupert Hine. Easily their most rock-oriented album since 1984's GRACE UNDER PRESSURE, ROLL THE BONES contains several of Rush's best-known tunes from the '90s. The title track is a natural extension of their 1989 single "Show Don't Tell," which boasts more prominent funky rhythms and guitar work, and a surprising "rapped" section in the middle (a first for the band). Another funk-rocker is "Where's My Thing? (Part IV, 'Gangster of Boats' Trilogy)," which was Rush's first instrumental since 1981's classic "YYZ." Other highlights include the melodic pop of the album-opener "Dreamline" and a coming-of-age love song, "Ghost of a Chance." Although ROLL THE BONES contains a fair amount of filler, it's one of the better progressive rock albums of the '90s. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews Review created: 07/01/07 by: 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. 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! Review ID: 10000000003871703 Was this review helpful?

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.
