Tempting, but I couldn't get into the first album enough. Didn't feel that Alex was a major force in the music, could have been any guitarist based on what I was hearing. [I'm also a Rush fan] Putting Alex's involvement aside, the songs, singing, musicianship are all fine just not in my personal wheelhouse. I suspect some of the hype helping to support the band is Alex's involvement and not the astounding character of the music or members themselves.

This is a nice release by SDE regardless, anytime they can get a 'known' act for a new surround release is a good sign they have some momentum in the music space.
I felt the same about what I heard from that first album. But it is curious to see just how enthusiastically Paul is announcing this - and given that this will sell out anyway, he wouldn't need to do that for marketing reasons. So at least he seems very convinced.
