Incredible debut album and performance. You can count on the fingers on one hands such a devastating debut. After listening to this
tens of times I could say that is one of the landmarks of the new wave of progressive rock. Aggressive parts, slow parts, beautifully
crafted interludes, inspired guitar and keyboards solos all over the place. The album from the right beginning creates a dreamy
atmosphere. The radio tuning from the first song makes me think of somebody waking up in the morning and continue to have lucid
dreaming through music. I will not go through a song by song review because I would like to think about this as a whole and there
isn't any weak part.If we are going to talk about influences one can feel a large spectrum of styles and bands but don't think about any kind of bad copy or something. They managed to take all the good from various areas of progressive music and add an important amount of originality. I could say that Riverside managed to have their own distinguishable sound from the very start. And that's something not easy to accomplish. When I'm writing this review this album has 10 years already. I believe they managed to pass the test of time also and their next release is at least at the same level if not even greater. I'm glad I've discovered this band and to enjoy their accomplishments in the last years. Highly recommended.
