lifeson90 Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 look inside, when Al first comes in with guitar. christ. 1
lifeson90 Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 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 2

Alexmai Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 I really like it! Put in heavy rotation in my car to listen to it as much as a new Rush release, it grows at every trip! 3
Alex’s Amazing Arpeggios Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 Yep if we can all get over the fact that Alex isn’t carrying on with his usual Rush style riffs & solos , which has been , I admit , difficult for me , and is trying something a bit different , then with repeated plays it does indeed grow on you ! 1

Alex didn't play "Rush" on his other projects even when he was still in the band. 1
ytserush Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 One of the better interviews...... Really explains what this is about. 1
Rush Didact Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I really enjoyed the album. It's different and creative and really well done. It feels very much like a full band effort, rather than a solo album, like Victor did. 1

ytserush Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Not sure if it's because it's the way I first heard it or not, but I think I prefer Kabul Blues as an instrumental. It's still good with vocals, but I like concentrating on the music too. 1
Charlotte7598 Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) It's not for me, to be honest. I've definitely heard worse but just not really my style. I'd probably like it more if Al's guitar playing stood out more. I am happy that Al is still making music though. I do like Western Sunset however, a very touching Neil tribute. I will revisit this album another time and maybe it'll grow on me more. Good for Al for branching out. Edited May 15, 2022 by Charlotte7598
H to O Posted May 16, 2022 Posted May 16, 2022 I’m really enjoying this album! I posted previously, but it got deleted during the recent upgrade. It’s a nice diversion for Alex, and I really like Maiah’s voice and the rest of the musician’s playing. There seems to be some sneaky powerful parts hidden in the generally mellow vibe. Example for me is the descending guitar line coming from the break back into the chorus on Never Said I Love You. I just love that part!!!

Although good, they sound “added” to me. In contrast, I thought Maiah knocked it out of the park on Kabul Blues. Very soulful and really added to the song on that one for me. Anyway, I’ve been listening to the iTunes version, and I bought the cd, so I’m looking forward to spinning it on a better sound system! 1

Kabul Blues is probably my favorite on the album. I love the Middle Eastern feeling! 1

I've listened probably 30 times now and I'm still discovering things in it that I didn't hear before. Maiah's vocals are great. She seems to know just what to do. 3
Rush Didact Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 It really is an excellent album. Never Said I Love You is an incredibly catchy song, an immaculate piece of broody, atmospheric pop songwriting. In a different world, it would be a huge hit right now. 3
ytserush Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 Never bothered to check because I really don't listen to the radio anymore, but has anyone heard a song on the radio. Has WMMR, Q104.3, of WDHA played anything from it?
