Critical reception
Riverside's debut full album Out of Myself was met with critical acclaim among progressive rock and metal reviewers. The album was described as "a rare thing of beauty" by MetalCrypt reviewer Bruce Dragonchaser.[3] Boris at Metal Reviews stated that he was "lucky" to have "stumbled" on the album.[4] "...one of the most treasured pieces in my collection", noted Ivor at Metal Storm.[5] In 2024, Loudwire elected it as one of the 11 best progressive metal debut albums.[6]
Album style
Out of Myself has been described as an "emotional musical journey",[1] "powerful in a subtle way", with "slight elements of metal, arena rock, grunge, and even dub."[7] At the same time, the album has been termed "the band's gentle first outing."[3] Built on the strength of Mariusz Duda's bass guitar, the music also relies on a soaring atmosphere of Jacek Melnicki's keyboards [5] and "long, weeping, long stretched high guitar notes" of Piotr Grudziński's lead guitar.
