Riverside: Jesus, they are brilliant!

[Spawnof84]

I dont care for them IMO this album is not even close to being one the best of '05

 

[Sadpoet]

Who are these fruitcakes?!

 

[Verano]

The vocalist sounds just like Mikael is some ways...just listen..

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Who are these fruitcakes?!

It's Riverdance, every time someone says Riverside I think of Riverdance.

 

[Sadpoet]

LOL
Just imagining those Riverdance fags singing and playing prog music like this is fucking halarious!

 

[Evan84]

I think the Out of Myself EP is their best work to date. The Time I was Daydreaming has got to be their best song, by far.

That's the Voices in My Head EP

 

[Alcapoth]

Hmm, well, over at the prog archives site, people can't get enough of this band. I guess, to each their own man, but I think they are one of the most talented bands I have heard. I knew the band won't cater to everyone's tastes (especially since many here bash ghost reveries for its progressive/clean sound) but at the same time knew some would be interested in this.


Out of Myself is impressive from what I heard, but SLS is better I think.


Both albums have some of the most top-notch production I have heard. It's on par with Steven Wilson's work with Porcupine Tree I'm listening right now as I write this with headphones and can't get enough of the crisp sound. Good stuff.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Worth checking out, then, right?

you bet it is. Both albums and the EP

 

[insidethefall]

The debut is close to perfect, production and all...just a very serene warm feeling to that album with a healthy dose of darkness. Second Life Sydrome, in my opinion, doesn't quite live up to the standards of the debut. I don't think that it's bad but it's a bit disappointing when compared. Th EP was really good though, 'Stuck between' was a very nice experimental piece.

 

[batmura]

The new album is much better than the debut, IMO.

 

[Nitronium Blood]

Riverside Jesus?

 

[Liquid Tension]

Riverside is one of my favorites and if you are really into the vocals then you need to check out Indukti where he sings on a few of their songs.

For me the Indukti is better!

 

[Evan84]

Yeah, I'd recommend checking out Indukti as well.

 

[Alcapoth]

Awesome, on my way to checking out some Indukti.

 

[JoeVice]

i didn't super-dig what little i heard...but i'll definetely check them out, just based on how excited you are...these guys must have something going on...have you ever heard dredg? this guy's voice reminds me of the dredg guy's voice.

 

[Sinistas]

Second Life Syndrome is in my top 3 of 2005 with GR and Deadwing.

Agreed. Voices In Your Head was awesome too, "Acronym Love" is probably my favorite Riverside song.

 

[Yoda]

Where's Michael Flatley? (I THINK he's the riverdance head honcho).

 

[Ayr]

Riverside Jesus?

lol

 

[Kenneth R.]

Yeah, I'd recommend checking out Indukti as well.

it's good but lacks Riverside's amazing instrumental work.

ps dredg RULES

 

[hibernal_dream]

This band is super average. I wouldn't call them brilliant by any means.
