riyl is really messed up. this is not even close to 80's hair metal with screamed vocals. this is rehashed, overdone, forgettable scene breakdown garbage. side note, i have no idea how bands like these are satisfied with cramming the same breakdowns time after time in every song.

i agree. i actually enjoyed their debut somewhat, and i thought that the band had the potential to mature and improve on their next full length but the early release of breathless squashed my expectations. they still insist upon empty breakdowns and the same synth additions. this release is so forgettable it's nonexistent.
