Analog_Bro Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Face Up, RTB, Where's My Thing, Bravado, and Ghost of A Chance all get my vote Why do so many people hate this album!?!? So many songs with great grooves on this album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sawyer Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yeah I don't have the full album yet, but I'm liking RTB, Dreamline, Bravado, and Ghost of a Chance. Bravado might be the most emotional song in Rush's catalog along with The Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I like the following songs to varying degrees: "Dreamline" "Bravado" "Ghost of a Chance" "Where's My Thing?" "The Big Wheel" Everything else is pretty much forgettable to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scars Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The only songs off the album I really don't like are Heresy and You Bet Your Life. The rest range from good to great in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Dreamline, Bravado, WMT?, TBW and GOAC are my favorites. Even though a lot of people don't care for the rap in it, the title track is a solid tune to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellarJetman Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 "Dreamline", "Bravado", and "The Big Wheel" are my top three, in that order. I could live without the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowItIs Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 This is one of my "lost albums" which I have only even heard in the past several months. It took me awhile to warm up to but now it's one of my favorites, on heavy rotation. In order: Bravado, Dreamline, GOAC, RTB, TBW, Heresy, WMT?, Face Up, YBYL and Neurotica.

drbirdsong Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I liked it the day I got it. It slows down a bit at Heresy and The Big Wheel, but then it ends strong. Bravado is my favorite. I don't know that folks hate it, but a lot of fans agree that the production is a bit thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tick Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Ghost Of A chance and Bravado are awesome. Roll The Bones was catchy in its day, but sounds dated now. Here is the one that will have people scratching there heads. I performed Dreamline in my band and now I can't stand the song anymore. Its my least favorite from the album.

JohnnyBlaze Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Just in regards to lyrics, Bravado and Ghost of a Chance are great but it's hard to listen to Face Up and YBYL [i don't think I've heard the latter 2 songs in years]. Though there are some cool musical moments on this album, most of it is simply tolerable...mainly due to its lack of muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I like Dreamline a lot. If they could edit out the rap, I would like RTB almost as much. Ghost Of A Chance is good. The rest I could do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) The first song, "Dreamline." That's it. A truly excellent Rush song, but the only one on the album that's any good. QUOTE Why do so many people hate this album!?!? For me, it's because one great song isn't enough to make an entire album great. To repeat a baseball analogy I've used before when discussing this album, Roll the Bones is like starting a baseball game with a solo homerun but then losing the game, 9-1.

trenken Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (ReRushed @ Jun 8 2011, 08:58 PM) I like the following songs to varying degrees: "Dreamline" "Bravado" "Ghost of a Chance" "Where's My Thing?" "The Big Wheel" Everything else is pretty much forgettable to my ears. Same ones here, well minus Where My Thing. What a lazy instrumental. Sounds like a normal song thats missing vocals. Dont like the other songs on the album. Edited June 9, 2011 by trenken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 "Bravado" and "Dreamline".. I like the others but these are the two that really stick out for me. I also enjoyed "Heresy" lyrically but it's kind of forgettable. Not a "skip" song for me, though. I thought it was a pretty decent album and a good stepping stone to Counterparts (which was from what I've heard so far of that one about 110% better ). I consider it a "transition" album.
