Riverside vs. Porcupine Tree

i disagree in every single point you mentioned! terrible vocals? i'd rather listen 24/7 to their vocalist than 2 minutes to S. Wilson! no expression of feelings? you just don't get them. i receive lot's of feelings from their music. well, to each his own.

Ya rly, opinions are like assholes, you don't have to agree with me...
 
I think that Opeth would be a more appropriate comparison to Riverside than PT TBO....I hear more similarities between Opeth minus the growls and Riverside than I do PT...esp in the clean vocals and the middle-eastern flare to some of the passages....SLS is pretty damn good but some of the songwritting is a little pedestrian....and has sort of a "been there done that" feel to it...I think they warrent watching as I think they have the capabilities of putting out a masterpiece or they could fade into obscurity....
