Envy of None - Alex "Zivo" Lifeson - A simple poll - Are you buying a copy?

[Laurabw]

My cd came today. I've only heard it all once but I like it. I like her voice a lot. And I like their sound. Not what I was expecting.

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's not her voice that does that. It's the boring, lifeless music that sets the monotone undercurrent.

For ONE THOUSAND dollars, you get an autographed vinyl and a 30 minute Zoom call with the band. If I had the extra cash I'd pay, just to talk to Alex.

For $1000 I’d want a BJ from the singer.

You normally go for the £10 ones in Bolton don't you?

I have zero doubt Tony has to pay for sex. They probably take one look at him and double the rate.

All three of these responses are :facepalm:

Is this a point where I should post a random guitarist in mid-shred?

That would be better than the current direction this thread is going in, yes.

How about this?

Not the heavy metal or hard rock mayhem that we want from Lifeson then? He stopped doing solos, now he's stopped doing riffs!

[toymaker]

I like it. This is going to be great for long drives.

Oh no! Don't do that. Stuff this dull could make you fall asleep at the wheel.

You know how sometimes during the synth era Alex would just play some more atmospheric stuff to help enhance what was going on in the rest of the song. So, he was still there but not really there. That's basically what he's doing on this. The only problem is that Geddy and Neil aren't here to make up for that. So, Alex being atmospheric on his own without any help is pretty lame.

Maybe he wants the synth era back, only there's no synths and no music. He should have done a kick-ass metal album with a supergroup or something, anything beats this. He just hasn't got the fire anymore.

I listened to it thankfully before I bought it so now I won't spend any money on it.

[lifeson90]

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

[Babycat]

Doubt it.

[treeduck]

I'll have to re-evaluate how I compile polls in this new format.

[ytserush]

Still haven't cracked it open yet. I'll dig in this weekend. Liked the music I heard during the interview. Interesting to see the touring band they put together for this.

[EagleMoon]

As of right now, not interested.

I'm more interested in how Alex is going to adjust to playing clubs and living off a tour bus again. He's not going to have the same luxuries he did during Rush's last few tours.

They're not touring, are they?

I don't know the other post brought it up. I would imagine Alex wouldn't want to tour with this that way he can avoid as much public embarrassment as possible having his name attached to such drivel.
