Rush - Roll the Bones Reviews

Friday, June 19, 2009

Rush’s return to progressive hard rock continued with Roll the Bones, though there’s still a bit of synth work (notably on the title track). The music flows like a well-oiled machine, and with Rush, that’s an asset, particularly when the material is this good. The songs are mostly up-tempo, with the intellectually oriented [...]

essential recording With Moving Pictures, Rush’s complex songwriting and musical virtuosity reached new heights. It’s that rarest of creatures, a highly listenable progressive-rock album; even the all-instrumental “YYZ” is of interest to listeners besides musicians. The highlight of the album is “Limelight”; like many progressive-rock bands, Rush [...]

Already wildly popular with a certain corner of the intellectual crowd, thanks in part to drummer Neil Peart’s Ayn Rand obsession, this CD marked a turning point for the Canadian trio. Hemispheres explores [...]
