5 stars Beautiful album and one of my favourite of 2023. A big surprise of mine by discovering it after reading the Prog Magazine awards.

Crown Lands is a duo that heavily inspires from Rush and Led Zeppelin with a more "comtemporany" approach. The Vocals are a mix of Geddy Lee, Robert Plant, Roger Hogdson and Ozzy (mentioned by my wife haha), but despite the influences they do sound good. It reminds me a bit of Gretta Van Fleet, but the components in Fearless are more ambitious, offer much more substancy and are more remarkable. The instrumentation in itself is also more original and it does sound really skilled. The production is fantastic, having a cristal clear sound without going retro. Also, the guitar tones and synths are great with lots of textures and colors, showing great taste from Kevin.

Favourite tracks are the both the epic Fearless tracks, The Shadow - such beautiful melancholic track, the single Lady of the Lake and Penny - a lovely acoustic guitar instrumental piece which is mesmerizing. IMO, as mentioned by Mellotron Storm, it's a really fun and easy album to listen. 4.5/5 stars
