“Is it possible to be yourself these days without being interested in what is happening in the world? Is it possible to live among people without being interested in the social changes that are taking place at an ever-increasing pace? Riverside, on its latest album, says it is not possible. And it stresses that in order to survive these difficult times, we need self-awareness, empathy, community, and both the support of the other and a break from all those who inject venom into our lives, divide and antagonize us. Many of the important issues raised on the latest album make ‘ID.Entity’ not only a solid musical and lyrical start to Riverside’s third decade, but also one of the most important albums in the band’s entire career.”
