Roll the Bones is the fourteenth studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released on September 3, 1991, by Anthem Records in Canada and Atlantic Records internationally. Produced by the band and Rupert Hine, the album continued the shift away from the keyboard-heavy arrangements of the 1980s toward a more guitar-oriented sound, a transition that had begun with their previous release, Presto (1989).
