SECOND LIFE SYNDROME

This is such an exciting band and album to listen to. It's great to see that original, quirky, excellent music is not dead in the new millenium. There are no weak points on this album. There are quiet pats and then there are even a few growling vocals but everything flows so well it is pretty hard for me to come up with any negatives at all. The vocals are mostly very emotional and very well done. It is hard to belive sometimes that this band is from Poland, because the English is pretty flawless. If you have never heard Riverside before and dismiss them because they are Progressive Metal, then you are missing out on a great band.
