I always loved Tom Sawyer when I was a kid but it wasn’t until I heard Ghost of a Chance that I decided to buy my first Rush album, so Roll the Bones is where I officially started with Rush. At the time I thought it was okay, loved Ghost of a Chance, Dreamline and the instrumental, the rest didn’t really wow me. After going through their catalog afterwards and then going back to RTB it was clear to me RTB was rather inferior to most everything else.
I popped it in the CD player for a road trip recently and was really stunned how much I didn’t like some of the songs.
