Major Band Riverside Enters Progressive 4th Decade; after debuts in 2001 they create expanded and dynamic original music. An 8th album on the madness of the world, big companies in search of quick profit at the risk of destroying our planet.

'Friend or Foe?' 80's vibe for new wave and pop rock tunes, go A-Ha for the freshness, the nasty and surly Riverside sound in the background, dynamic, full of life and dancing with a prog ending to perfection .'Landmine Blast' characteristic sound with bass, riff, percussion and bass-keyboard latent phases; playful and furious like an explosion. 'Big Tech Brother' sampled horns for a singular intro and different from what the group usually offers; a solo coming from nowhere, plaintive or melancholy, enjoyable in any case, gives way to Mariusz who has a very beautiful voice, don't forget it; NNN's guitar plunges this title into ecstasy, contemplation while keeping a dynamic, immense rhythm and makes you forget the voice. 'Post-Truth' metallic riff, heavy sound with Mariusz tempering his voice; fresh air, rock above all where the riff moves without worrying about the musical label; crystal clear piano changer final break

'The Place Where I Belong' title river highlighting the Riverside sound, fresh vintage keyboards, nervous bass, clubbed dry drums and furious guitar in the distance which gradually shows; the halfway break leads to a melancholy pastoral digression-ballad where the music has this power to contract time to the point of forgetting it; the finale is intended to be softer in the sense that the ballad expands with the incorporation of all the musicians. 'I'm Done with You' dark ballad, reverberating guitar, based on aggressive percussions, title which rises and makes me think of the first titles of nervous, metal and dark Riverside, a fair throwback with a more airy rhythm. 'Self- Aware' for the adventurous title, with dynamic rhythm, rock and AOR, the thing that played in the stadiums and made everyone move, disconcerting with this FM chorus with reggae air and this so characteristic rushian sound; the vibrant atmo-dark break is breathtaking and confirms that music no longer needs labels to dive into.

Riverside never stops offering an evolving sound so as not to remain in progressive shackles, so as not to hit its audience too quickly. Riverside continues to innovate with the perpetual search for recent sounds bathed in flavors of yesterday; a musical association confirming that sound can evolve over time, pleasantly.
