Presto-digitation Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I've heard a few clips and am intrigued. Worth the price of admission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Owl Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Riverside is a great band.......... Kinda like Tool meets Porcupine Tree....... I think I like their latest (Anno Domini High Definition) the best, but you cannot go wrong with this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godeater2112 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Checking out some of their stuff right now, I'd never heard of them before. Listening to Hyperactive right now, it sounds pretty promising! I can see as much Dream Theater influence as I can TOOL though. Polska! Polska!

Presto-digitation Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Oh....I'm DIGGIN' this kids: Ordered two of their discs off of previews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missedexit Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I have 'Rapid Eye Movement' and it is, imho, 1 of the best prog/metal releases of all time. I hear so many influences, but they still retain their own sound. Outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Awesome...! I ordered the latest based purely on recommendation and their second album just off surfing about. I'll snap up the other two if it resonates with me and I do suspect it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompers Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Their latest release is excellent. If you haven't, check it out: http://www.last.fm/music/Riverside/Anno+Do...High+Definition If you are into the singers voice, listen to a band called Lunatic Soul where he is the lead singer: http://www.last.fm/music/Lunatic+Soul And these two cuts of the AMAZING Indukti - S.U.S.A.R. http://mp3bear.com/indukti-shade http://mp3bear.com/indukti-cold-inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anno Domini is on its way to me from Amazon on the recommendation of Steevo. (The unrelenting recommendation, I should say. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I don't have the most recent one yet or the bass player's solo album, but I really dig the rest. Fantastic live band. I saw them in New Brunswick a few years back. The bass player is has been influenced by Geddy. I can't wait to see them back in the states again.

rummut71 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Riverside is f*cking awesome... Wasn't a real big fan of 'Rapid Eye Movement'... Out Of Myself is the one that hooked me for good. ADHD was one of the best records of 2009, but it is pretty brief with only 6 tracks. They play in Europe regularly, but do not make it here (USA) very often at all... If you live anywhere in the northeast area of the country, I strongly recommend you get to NEARFest this year in Pennsyvania as they are playing at that weekend prog festival. (Along w/Steve Hackett, The Pineapple Thief, and others!) Progski = Awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been obsessing on ADHD lately. It's crazy good. I've listened to the samples on Amazon from the other CDs. I'm leaning toward Radpid Eye Movement. But, it sucks having to decide based on those lame song clips. Second Life Syndrome sounds a little tame from what Amazon has up as samples. Out of Myself sounds good, but not as polished as the others. Hopefully, they'll gain enough recongition to play more North American dates. I'm curious why they would make the trip all the way to Pennsylvania with all of their crap and have that be the only gig in the U.S. They may as well test the waters while they're here. Doesn't make sense to me. I would LOVE to see them live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 I still need to get the other two. I think Rapid Eye Movement is next, if I don't get the first album with it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
