Silas Lang Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The great songs are Dreamline, Bravado, the title track, Heresy & Ghost of a Chance. Neurotica, Face Up & YBYL are pretty good too. Overall my least favorite album but I can still dig all the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 The best song on the album and the best song since then is Dreamline. It's the last of the old Rush imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good,bad,andrush Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Bravado is and will always be my favorite song of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeaveMyThingAlone Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 RTB along with Presto has about half the songs that are really good and half the songs that just aren't up to Rush standards. In fact, here's my new album...I call it Roll the Presto Dreamline Show Don't Tell Bravado The Pass Ghost of a Chance Presto Where's my Thing War Paint Roll the Bones Available Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubla~Khan Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'd have to agree, Dreamline is pretty good... although, Ghost of a chance still brings back memories of me jamming with my headphones on while I was on a ship in the NAVY floating around the Atlantic Ocean.

Drummerrobin Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My faves are Dreamline, Bravado, Where's My Thing? and Ghost Of A Chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psionic11 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I like this album. Don't like TBW, Heresy is solid except for the chorus. I like RTB, Neurotica. Face Up's ok. Bet your life is clever and likeable, Bravado has its moments but can get old. Dreamline never gets old. Ghost of a Chance is a wiser, mellower Freewill, lyrically. Great melody, great main riff, great Lerxst solo. Think I'll put this album on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Favorite SONGS off of RTB? More like favorite SONG. Pretty much RTB for me exists for one song only, and that's DREAMLINE. The rest of the album goes from decent to pretty bad. I'm glad Dreamline is the first song as it makes it easy to skip the rest of it: Disc goes in. Dreamline gets played. Disc comes out.

Rush Cocky Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 QUOTE (Analog_Bro @ Jun 8 2011, 09:51 PM) 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 Because it is amazingly mediocre music. Or garbage, by Rush standards. Ponder this.....Roll The Bones was the ONLY album in the documentary that got absolutely NO mention whatsoever. That speaks volumes to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druid13 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Underappreciated Big Wheel Overappreciated Bravado I hate to admit it now but Where my Thing definitely falls into the category of not really being an instrumental but an unfinished song without lyrics. I remember thinking that at the time, then blinding myself with Rush Kool-Aide convincing myself it was really great. I do remember doing a drum transcription for fun of that tune though.

druid13 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 wait actually they did discuss the rap though...right? I think I am going to write lyrics for "Where is my Thing?"..might go something like this... yeaaaahhh Baby!! I losta losta lost a thing Ohhhhhhhh Honey Gonna help me find it Yeeeeah Baby!!

So many songs with great grooves on this album Amazing this "taste" thing isn't it? I would say that "Face Up" is easily my least favourite Rush song. I think it's dreadful yet you love it.

New World Kid Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Face Up, The Big Wheel and You Bet Your Life are meh to me. Everything else Is of good to excellent quality for me. I'm a little sad that Heresy isn't getting more love. One of my favorites off that album after the obvious favorites of Deamline and Bravado.
