Envy of None is the latest project by Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, but if you are expecting progressive rock, you are in for a surprise. Rather than creating a band that simply capitalizes on Lifeson?s established fanbase, Envy of None delivers something entirely different. Stygian Waves crafts a rich, immersive experience that thrives on atmosphere, melody, and mood. It?s an album that rewards patience, pulling the listener in with its delicate intricacies and dreamlike textures ? all executed with remarkable finesse. At the end of the day, you may come for Alex Lifeson, but you?ll stay for the strong songs and capable vocals of Maiah Wynne.
