Jag2112 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Well, it certainly is different... http://news.cygnus-x1.net/2022/01/alex-lifesons-envy-of-none-project.html Can't really "hear" much of Alex in this first song, at least not in an obvious way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 The name of the project is dead on because absolutely no one would envy a trash song like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I think it's ok actually...not brilliant or groundbreaking but quite decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I think it's ok actually...not brilliant or groundbreaking but quite decent. Yeah didn't mind it, it might have been groundbreaking over 30 years ago but there was a load of stuff sounding like that in the early 90s.

Rushman14 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) I dig the vibe but doesn't showcase Alex. I expected at least some moody guitar lead. Edited January 12, 2022 by Rushman14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Pretty much the same sound all the way through, once you hear the first 10 seconds that's it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_World_Man Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I just listened to it. It's ok but nothing I would need to own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 The only reason I listened to it all the way through is because I felt obligated to given how much I admire Alex. Not really my cup of tea at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastillePark Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 The music was okay but the lyrics not so much. Interested to hear the rest of it but if it's as schizophrenic as "Victor" it won't be part of my music library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Ok.. kinda better on today's listen.

grep Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I'm picking up NIN and a mid 90's alternative vibe. I like it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemistry1973 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) I love the hook. And the production. This is definitely more enjoyable than anything else non-rush he has been futzing around with these past years. This sounds focused and interesting. I’m sure that the album will offer more variety. And this is a band, with a collective statement, not a solo album dudes! Edited January 13, 2022 by chemistry1973 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is a band, with a collective statement, not a solo album dudes! Agreed! I enjoy it. It's got a strong late 90s vibe, which is okay with me. It reminds me of Roland Orzabal's solo album, Tomcats Screaming Outside, or Emiliana Torrini's first album. Alex feels absent. That honestly coulda been any guitarist. Even me lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love this band, it suxxx that Lexxi Foxx quit the band. They are trying out new bass players now. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
