Hi! Welcome to my homepage!

A page dedicated to Rush's Great Album: Roll The Bones (1991)

Musician name	Instruments played
Alex Lifeson	Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Backing Vocals
Neil Peart	Drums and Cymbals
Geddy Lee	Bass Guitar, Vocals, Synthesizers
Rupert Hine	Additional keyboards and vocals

Although more pop oriented, this album is one of Rush's finest! On this particular album, Rush explores melodic songs and even rap. I know that this sounds unusual for an "art rock" group, but it is definitely interesting to meld so many different styles together into a cohesive whole!

Roll The Bones is Rupert Hine's best production! Quite simply, this is Rush's third best album! Almost every single song on this cd is superb! "Roll The Bones," "Ghost Of A Chance," "Bravado" and "You Bet Your Life" are second only to "Mystic Rhythms!" "Heresy," "Where's Your Thing?," "Dreamline" and "The Big Wheel" are also quite superb! "Neurotica" and "Face Up" are also quite good! A superb work of craftsmanship!

7.	HERESY	5:26	A song concerned with the fall of the Iron Curtain, which poignantly points to the inherent problems of emerging democracies

9.	NEUROTICA	4:40	Slightly schizophrenic, but interesting nonetheless!
