Description/Reviews
More than 50 minutes divided into 8 songs, which don’t just clearly reflect a further developed, modern take on the band’s charismatic trademark elements, but also effectively adds further vibes of the Classic Rock segment as well as jazzy art-rock bits to the ever-challenging mix that Riverside has always stood for, maybe just less standard metallic and also less complex, without meaning less progressive. Conceptually, it is an album as intense and introspective as ever before with Riverside, but there is also a strong and very obscure social component to things this time around, as Duda explains the record’s theme and title: “It’s based on the fact that we all hear almost everyday from friends and close people how unhappy they are, how they hate their jobs, how they don't have a time for this or that, how time flies and how they actually feel like slaves in their lives. I thought it was a good option to write about that kind of unhappiness and this “new generation slavery”, where people seem to be unable to take control over their own lives”.
