(1993)"Roll the Bones" is the fourteenth studio
album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1991 (see1991 in music ). The album also won the 1992 Juno for best album cover design. "Roll the Bones" became Rush's first US Top 5 album since 1981's "Moving Pictures" peaking at #3 on The Billboard 200. The album went Double Platinum according to Atlantic Records although the RIAA has it listed at Platinum.tyle
"Roll the Bones" marks further change from the 80s Rush to the 90s Rush. The roles have generally been reversed; guitar is beginning to creep to the front of the song arrangements, while bursts of keyboard and organ are played in the background. "Dreamline" and "Roll the Bones" were popular radio staples of the early 90s, with the former reaching #1 on
Mainstream Rock Tracks , while "Where's My Thing?" became the band’s third instrumental. The musical style of "Roll the Bones" paved the way for the "alternative" style of 1993’s "Counterparts".Track listing
