thpblpblft . . . to some extent. I quite like some of the songs, but am disappointed over all. Roll the Bones gives me a rash.

I voted "good" even though I only like three songs on it.

 

Dreamline, Ghost Of A Chance and Bravado make up for what all the other songs on the album lack.

Those are exactly the songs I'd pick, and I also don't mind the instrumental. (Thing 1)

Song by song:

Dreamline: Great song, though the glossy production hurts it a bit.

Bravado: Good lyrics, but quite boring otherwise.

TT: Good song apart from the rap; more specifically, the lack of good music behind the rap section.

Face Up: Horribly cheesy.

WMT?: Good instrumental, but the CA tour version elevates it to new heights.

 

The Big Wheel: The verse is alright, but the chorus is... yuck, especially with the production

Heresy: Waaay too preachy.

GOAC: A bit of a snoozer, though a great solo. Main problem: overrated

Neurotica: Don't even get me started on this one.

YBYL: Almost as boring as The Speed Of Love.

Dreamline is fantastic. Roll The Bones, Bravado, and Where's My Thing? are good when played live. Ghost Of A Chance is okay. The rest of the album is some of the worst shite I've ever heard. The album also sounds like Presto part 2 with that lame production at the hands of Rupert Hine.

 

It's better than Presto and the debut but nothing else.

It's good. I really enjoy it as a solid pop/rock album. It is far and away my favorite of the 90's trilogy. Sure the production.....like another fav of mine Presto......is terribly weak. But hey to me it's got the tunes to overcome that.

If they took the songs I listed from RTB, plus The Pass, Presto, and Red Tide and put those on an album together and made its sound similar to CP or T4E such that it has balls I'd greatly enjoy listening to it.

Dreamline is great great

Bravado is gorgeous

The title track is sweet

Face Up rocks

WMT? Is a pretty good instrumental

Big Wheel is nothing special

Heresy is beautiful

GOAC is also beautiful

Neurotica is a cool song with a good message

YBYL is kind of goofy but I dig it

Dreamline in and of itself pushes this up to OK. I enjoy RTB too. Never listen to the rest of it.

Most of this album is so bad that it doesn't even need ME to desecrate it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I probably will eventually. It's just the album is SOOOOO horrible that it's even boring making fun of it.

 

 

 

"Dreamline" is good, "Ghost of a Chance" is one of my faves, and "Where's My Thing" is somewhat OK.

 

As for the rest of the album, let's just say that THIS girl keeps her copy in her bag. That's truly "fitting," no pun intended:

It's okay.

 

It has five truly solid songs in Dreamline, Bravado, Roll the Bones, Where's My Thing, and Ghost of a Chance.

 

The rest totally drags, some of the least inspired Rush songs in the catalog.

It's okay. I don't listen to it much and it's not one I'd pick first, but it has some good songs on it. The songs are better to hear live in my opinion.
