Riverside once again put out a masterpiece and proves there are one of the best prog band working today. I was a bit worried when I heard the band talk about it on social media, saying it was very different. I was afraid we would get another "Future Bites". There sure is a couple of 80s/pop oriented song in here, like the first and last track, but the sound of Riverside is still here.

While I liked the previous two albums, this is to me the best Riverside album since Shrine of New Generation Slave. The fifth song, The Place Where I Belong, which is probably the best song on the album, sounds a lot like a song that could have been on that record. The album as a whole is very diverse in style and the band still manages to innovate while maintaining the core of their sound.

Highlights: Friend or Foe? , The Place where I belong, I'm Done with You
