RISE

I had never heard of this band when I read a review of this album, rating it 10/10. Always in for a surprise, I ordered the cd and was rewarded with a great album. One album? No, even better, two albums at once! Of these two, I prefer the first one, containing six individual songs including the masterpiece Mimosa. The second part, the epic The land of no groove, sounds great, offers a lot of musical diversity and has funny lyrics. The only question (yes, there is a but) that remains is whether the funny lyrics will stay funny in the long run; I surely hope so. 5 stars is a bit too early for an album that I've only heard ten times at max, so 4 stars for now (though 4,5 would be more accurate).
