SECOND LIFE SYNDROME

Enough with the long and boring reviews we are all used to that are full of musical spoilers and stuff like that. This is just my opinion on the band...no details, just the basic facts. This is the best album i have listened to all year. I enjoyed it more than Dream Theater's Octavarium...and as Dream Theater is a top band i consider 5 stars should do to express how much i like this band. They may not be Spock's Beard or the Flower King's but they are really good at what they do. Riverside has a really unique sound with a very interesting and deep story line that spands over the 2 albums released until now and will probably continue on the next record...please let it be next year...Furthermore, the instrumental is great...the lyrics are nice...the lyrics are wonderfull...especially when Marius starts doing a little of them harsh vocals \m/. All that i can say i don't like 'bout this band is the way Marius pronounces some words ...makes you have a really hard day understanding what he says...but hey, same was with bigger bands(Weird All's Smells like Nirvana comes in mind right now)...and they weren't polish. But still, enogh rubish bout nothin' ... you should listen to this album, it has all what it takes to be a great addition to any prog metal fan and not only. You just can't get enough of it...and it really helps you mentally to listen to a preety nice story like that of Second Life Syndrome...helps you be a better person through the emotions of others.
