Rivermaya started itself as well deserved in more credits to work with Filipino classic rock in 90s.
The first album of Rivermaya is pretty decent
Revolution (70)
This song is a basic Rock and roll song with basic lyrics. Is it the best song? No. Is it a great opener? Yes.
Bring Me Down (84)
The second track is sung mostly by Rico Blanco with some parts sung by Bamboo. This song might sound basic at the beginning but damn it grows on you. It is a big mood-switch but is very appreciated.
Ground (72)
This imitation of grunge sounds forced. Ignoring that, it's an alright song.

Revolution (75) not really something i’d look back on. Is it a good opener? Meh. For the album? Not really, did it wake me up for the album listen? Definitely.
Bring Me Down (82) such a low standard for an 82 but i really did enjoy this. The mood switch, the writing and composition is really good, Beatles-esque even. Not amazing, wouldn’t wow you, but it is good.
Ground (69) trying to be soundgarden? Creed? I mean, it’s okay? Was it necessary though?
