The Canadian duo open their sophomore release with 'Starlifter', a hefty 18-minute space opera that serves as a tribute to Rush's 2112. Granted, in its majority, Fearless offers spacy soundscapes and upbeat tempo tracks which bring vintage Rush into mind. The album closes with 'Lady of the Lake' and 'Citadel', two tracks that lean towards a Zeppelin mode. Technically solid and artistically convincing, the duet delivers a nice effort but still far from a comprehensive result. Recommendations: "Dreamer of the Dawn", "Citadel", "The Shadow".
