Hey, what do you guys think of the album Roll the Bones. My friends laugh at me for liking it but I think it's the best post-1985 Rush out there. What are your opinions?

Its one of the poorest albums in the whole Rush discography, in fact the late 80`s and early 90`s were a terrible period for the band.

Well I'd agree, but I think it is probably the best album from that period. I'd even argue it is the best post-1990 Rush album.

I voted for "Hemispheres".

I actually prefer "Natural Science," and the "The Camera Eye" as songs, and I do consider them epics, but I think of "Hemispheres" as more of a true epic because of length.

Yesterday after returning home from visiting relatives in West Virginia's foothills, I drove through New York City, and the drive was just long enough where I could play the camera eye all the way through. It was a perfect 11 minutes of my life.

I like Rush. Not a big fan, but I really like Alex's guitar work.

had to give it to 2112, though Xanadu and Cygnus X-I are also some of my favorite songs of all time.

Has anyone else seen the new documentary Beyond the Lighted stage? I bought it when it came out a few months ago.. it was so good, seriously- to anyone who enjoys Rush, you should watch it. one of the best done musical documentaries I've ever seen
