I'm a huge fan of Riverside, but with this album, the first time I listened to it I wasn't convinced at all. But after a few times listening to the album, I understood it better. Conceptually and lyrically, a great proposal and critic about society.

Musically, it's like a mix of all their albums; you find some dark metal moments as you would see in their first records, and some fresh and soft rock as in their album "Love, Fear and the Time Machine", which is my favorite one. I think this time, you enjoy it more if you listen to the entire album, all the songs work well together as a unity.

However, if we had to choose a song or two, I would definitely go with "Friend or Foe?" (I know it's really melodic and pop but it's a nice tune), "Self-Aware" (more classic hard rock, very Rush-ish) and with the longest track "The Place Where I Belong".

Not my favorite album, but a great job by the guys from Riverside!
