The new Riverside album Second Life Syndrome is absolutely amazing. Even better than their much appraised debut disc Out of Myself, I think their new one is darker and better written with a big focus. Also, it is less derivative. Gone are the obvious Anathema, Opeth and Porcupine Tree influences; the band is opting for a more defined sound of their own.
Here's my long review of the concept and music on Second Life Syndrome:
