Just checked - £25  ;)

And a bit of audio fidelity.

Well, I really like it! I suppose that, without the Rush connection it would have passed me by but I'm glad it didn't. I'm not entirely sure what I expected this to sound like but, whatever it was, it's nothing like it and all the better for that  :)

bit wishy washy for my liking, and they dont seem to know how to end a song properly

That's an interesting point Jonners, a lot of Rush tunes had a beginning, middle and end and most reached a natural conclusion, even if they faded out.

It's ok, not terrible but not something I feel warrants multiple listens.  I suppose it's biggest strength and weakness is that it sounds nothing like Rush. As others have said, Alex's presence is quite hard to decipher.

Reminds me a little of How to Destroy Angels - Trent Reznors project with his Wife.  Maybe a little bit of Curve from the early 90's.  Not as good as either, though.

Had a listen through some of the tracks via YouTube. 

First impressions not great.  :-\

This is now on YT music. I'll be giving this a spin over the next few days.

Played it twice now. It makes nice background music but nothing exciting and won't warrant many replays on my part. Not awful though.

How's the proper way to end a song ??always hated fade outs.. always seemed very lazy to me.. you go thru the hard work of writing a song but don't put in the extra little bit of effort to end the song ( but not in a lazy fade out kinda way)
