Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind We marvel after those who sought The wonders of the world, wonders of the world Wonders of the world they wrought
Rush, 1991:

3.5 great | Deadwing2112 | June 3rd 20 | With a little less keyboard and a bit more amped up guitar production, Roll the Bones provides a welcome return to its fan base yearning for 70s power trio rock. Neil Peart's lyrics are more statesman, reflecting upon what once was and perhaps more importantly what now is. Resignation of self mortality is rather recurrent and perhaps suggestive to simply enjoy and live in the present moment. The exaggerated ballyhoo over a few stanzas of spoken word a.k.a rap during the album's self title track is retrospectively rather comical.

3.5 great | Jared Floryan | October 17th 14 | I never thought I would find myself hearing a Rush album until now; this soundoff might get a lot of shit, but there's something about progressive rock which sort of turns me off... Of course this 'something' might just be the track lengths going over seven minutes and whatnot. With that said, Roll the Bones is a very enjoyable release with quite a lot to like and a bit to detest. The second half becomes slightly tiring, but as a whole, this record finds itself making some points. Geddy Lee's vocals and Neil Peart's snare drum in particular are appropriate for this offering.

4.0 excellent | LokitheTrickster | December 15th 11 | Ghost of a Chance is a good song, and the rest are largely all right. You Bet Your Life has some interesting lyrics.

3.0 good | Staker | November 24th 10 | Some really great tracks here. The first 3 are great. But the quality drops off. Too transitional, not quite there with the powerful new-hard-rock sound.

3.5 great | EatThatPhonebook | May 19th 10 | Not bad at all. Rush's Roll The Bones has some surprising melodies, very catchy and hearable. Songs like "bravado", "Dreamline", "Ghost of a Chance", are amazing, very intense and enigmatic (the last two at least). Of course other songs are mediocre, but always fun to listen to. Great!

3.5 great | CrazyFool84 | December 27th 08 | Though I seem to find myself becoming more and more partial to the 80's style of Rush, there is still a place in my heart for 90's Rush. Roll the Bones was the beginning of that transition, moving away from synth-heavy songs and putting the focus more on the guitar and convential instrumentation. This style definitely still works for Rush, though it does feel a little more mundane at times. I still find this release incredibly enjoyable, though I find it hard to not enjoy an album from these guys. With some standouts like Dreamline, Neurotica, Roll the Bones, and Where's My Thing? make the disc pretty memorable amongst fans, and should be a pretty easy listen for new comers.
