Review: Although this CD is the solo album by Alex Lifeson of Rush, it is nothing like that band's efforts. There is an even harder edged sound on Victor than Rush's Counterparts album, but like that album, the common theme is one of relationships. "Start Today," with Lisa Dalbello, and "I Am The Spirit," with Edwin, formerly of I Mother Earth, have somewhat positive views of relationships, while the rest are fairly angry, or sombre. This leaves all interpretations of the album as a whole, with the listener. A concept album for a break-up or a mid-life crisis, if you will. Mrs. Lifeson handles the vocals on "Shut Up Shutting Up," as well as the lyrics it seems. The title track, puts the poem of the same name by W.H. Auden to atypically eerie music. "Strip And Go Naked," is my favourite instrumental from the album, with a hint of Celtic-influence, in a wash of keyboards, and some shredding guitar work. Not as deep as Peart, but a lot less pretentious for it. And certainly not so typically left-wing as some Toronto artistes! Track List: 1.Don't Care 2.Promise 3.Start Today 4.Mr. X 5.At The End 6.Sending Out A Warning 7.Shut Up Shuttin' Up 8.Strip And Go Naked 9.The Big Dance 10.Victor 11.I Am The Spirit
