With The Work, RIVERS OF NIHIL have crafted an album that is both indisputably them but also hits very differently to its predecessor, without sacrificing any quality or creativity along the way. It’s a monument to their refusal to be pigeonholed, to be reduced to any one genre or scene, as well as to their relentless desire to push the envelope creatively, with the end result an album that is incredibly rewarding – if you’re willing to do the work.
Rating: 9/10
