4 stars Riverside are always so heavy and profound.

When you listen to their music you feel pathos, sadness, melancholy, but mixed up with power.

This new work has more "metal" elements than in the past albums. Though sometimes the "growl" voice is a bit irritating to my personal opinion, Duda is a great singer and he has power of feeling and great interpretation ability... and Grudzinski is a true inspired guitar player! The solos are so touching and enriched with feeling, the riffs are captivating and he gives to all the musicians the possibility to give their personal contribution at the highest level.

ADHD is the natural evolution of the Riverside sound, even if I prefer their melancholic side to the heavy one.

But in any case their merit is to be able to mix these two different moods in the best way I ever heard.

Three point five stars. Not four for the growling vocalisms.
