toymaker Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Yeah, lots of easter eggs there, along with the suspended chords or whatever they're called. I don't care for the sound of those toms, though. The oversized 80s Geddy Lee glasses are amusing Edited March 11, 2021 by toymaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thizzellewashington Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) They've got potential for sure. Would love to see them find their own sound and not outright imitate Rush like they are here. But I'll definitely be keeping an eye on them.

RushFanForever Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I also posted about Crown Lands last year on this thread here. Below is the band's recent single. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr-sq55Au8s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA2cK9FbLdQ Edited March 12, 2021 by RushFanForever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thizzellewashington Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I listened to their debut album today and musically it’s really good. Vocally it kinda rubs me the wrong way especially when he gets up into the higher part of his register. He’s going for Geddy/Plant but it ends up sounding more like the Greta Van Fleet guy. Like these guys way more than GVF though. Still think they’ve got a lot of talent and it’s a good thing that a band that sounds like this is getting some buzz/attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Nice Kinda crazy how they worked with 3 different rush producers. https://www.loudersound.com/news/watch-crown-lands-absolutely-epic-star-wars-themed-tribute-to-rush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Duos are cool! White StripesZOMBICrown Lands Oh and the project I was on with my nephew Hunter. We recorded a four track cd ep under the band name THE COLOR SIX. He laid down all the vocals, guitar, bass, keys and then I came in the studio and nailed down the drum tracks. So fuckking fun!!! RUSH ON! Edited March 13, 2021 by RUSHHEAD666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just listened to both those videos. Quite good, limited by being a duo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Just listened to both those videos. Quite good, limited by being a duo? Yeah - what's their deal live? I'm a bit confused by one "live" video I've seen which only shows the two of them, but plays in slow motion with no sound...?

thizzellewashington Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I agree with the person who said they don’t line the sound of the drums. They’re way too compressed. With that said, I’ve still been listening to these two songs the last couple of days and they’ve grown on me a lot. One thing they nail about Rush that a lot of bands who imitate them don’t quite do is the energy. These *feel* like ‘70s Rush in addition to sounding like it. I still don’t love the singer but I’m all the way in and will definitely try to catch them live whenever concerts are allowed to happen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) To those who don't like the sound of the compressed drums. The Rolling Stone article does state that the duo worked with Nick Raskulinecz. I'm aware that a lot of RUSH fans don't like Raskulinecz's production work on Snakes & Arrows and Clockwork Angels. In the bigger picture, the loudness war scenario and the sound of MP3 files have altered people's listening habits. I've said this before, wouldn't it be great if every record of every genre had Steely Dan listening quality to it? There would be no complaints. We all want analog sound but like the benefits of living in a digital world where things are more convenient and faster. Sometimes I think the human race needs new ears, just sayin'.
