Could listen to an album of that noo problem, different but really fresh and vital, like you up on stage with em

Yeah very interesting. Another reminder of quirks of fate and how the stars sometime conspire

Jacob's Ladder 

 

Awesome, of course

 

 

He IS 70 of course, only gone in the physical sense for us ❤️ 

Cut to the chase

A truncated CA would have a shot at my top ten.  In its entirety, nope.

They wrote the half of the album that was great before going on tour then the other half that was kind of sub-standard after the tour, as if taking a break and going on tour had sucked all the creative zip outa them

 

Could've been their very best in entirety but as you say, unusually falls short for this band

 

Occasionally vies for no.1 with me but has to compete with Waves and 3 or 4 others

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel

Enemy for christs sake.

Never Said I love You my goto Lifeson track right now

That guitar entrance to Look Inside

 

Alex Lifeson of Rush

 

Today

 

After this first attempt they really need to pull out another album sooner rather than later to seal it

 

Great stuff

superb album i love how Al doing his evolved stuff without standing out TOO much

three tracks us rush heads should be ALL OVER Look Inside Liar and Never I Said I Love you this is Alex EVOLVED 

struggling with about half of the album but the other half is fantastic, where Al was born to evolve into, Enemy, Look Inside, Liar, Never Said I love You, have a few drinks you'll see why they so cool, western sunset a lovely tribute to neil

look inside, when Al first comes in with guitar. christ.

i'm embarrassed by my first impressions to this album, got Al all over it LOOK INSIDE reminds me of BU2B thought what the f*ck is that became one of my fav rush tracks this is the guy who did the Necromancer now in 2022 his sh*t is all over the place i love what he doing here is all over the album is what he was born to evolve into i cant wait for their next album

Loving Liar, look inside and Never Said I Love you. Great stuff and Al's influence really stand out

Ok, Never Said I Love You quite catchy, could listen to that again. Enemy seems ok without hitting too many heights

Not too keen on that particular female voice to be honest, sets a monotone undercurrent through the whole album, spy house suffers badly for it, better as instrumental imo. Western sunset grabbed me a bit but can't see me going back to album

It isnt lifeson of rush so judging it on own merits as separate band and not feelin it really

 

His solo album was defo lifeson of rush just being a little different at times

 

Totally get his need to diversify mindyou, good luck to the great man

Shuffling off the old Rush baggage. It was a thing. It was a great thing. Done.

Did Massive Attack in the 90s and this a poor imitation really

The guys coulda done a tour not performing as Rush but performing Rush music with guest percussionists, woulda been great nothing too heavy or expected, more like a party or celebration while Al and Ged could still do their thing together, can't see the problem they'd make a fortune the fans happy and everybody has a great time, just get it on

Cant decide with those three, all on a par really, just a little bit below their glorious best but still great
