I simply thinks it's the material itself, not enough fire there. They were never very complex or having the songs change every minute but Shrine is even more straight forward. And yes I agree about the Night Sessions being better I even prefer the EP Memories In My Head.

Love Memories In My Head. My second favorite, next to their debut, actually. Maybe it got my hopes up too much that Shrine would be more in that vein!

I guess I really like their early stuff the most the debut and SLS. Love Out of Myself. But ADHD is wonderful too!

Glad to see ADHD getting so much love. It's in my top 10 albums ever  Also warms my heart to see it on the top 100 albums list! I was glad, though, that they did release SONGS when they did. I never like a band to try re-releasing a masterpiece. IMO the contrast was needed to show they're maturing as artists. Maybe I'm biased in saying that because I actually like SONGS a lot, but an artist that repeats themselves only succeeds in diluting the effectiveness of their best work. At least that's what I've always believed.

I wouldn't have liked them to repeat ADHD or any other album. I just don't feel SONGS was the best they could have done.
Still, they have the strongest run of quality albums from any band in this century, that I can think of.

Maybe a 'dumb' thing to say, but it's generally the longer cuts that deliver the most on 'Shrine'. Something has really grabbed me with these Poles and I can't let go. The dbl LP edition has 2 lengthy 'Night Sessions' on side 4 which are superb but not part of 'Shrine' per-se. |
Right, forgot about those. Love Night Sessions more than anything on the first half of the album proper. Rare to have "bonus tracks" of such high quality (TFK I'm looking at you)!
|
The "Night Sessions" really elevates this album, although tbh I do love SoNGS as much as any of their other albums. These guys never sit still style-wise and yet can turn out stuff of such quality, they are so ridiculously consistent over their career. "Weaker" is just relative. :) New Lunatic Soul will be fall 2014, new Riverside 2015 but not sure when.

I knew about the new Lunatic Soul album for later this year, but I didn't know about a new Riverside album, where did you hear that?

I pay attention to interviews and announcements on the Facebook pages. It's easy; anyone can do it. ;)
Riverside are doing one of the Prog cruises in February, playing European gigs in April, and then taking a long break to work on the next album, slated for 2015.

The Riverside Official facebook page, pretty sure you can find that.
https://www.facebook.com/Riversidepl?fref=ts
There is an update on Dec 3rd, another on Nov 27th basically saying the same thing. I did see an update that said the new album will be in 2015, which is perfectly reasonable since two years between albums is the norm for them.
You can yell at me next year if I am wrong.

It doesn't say on the facebook page that they're gonna make a new album though. So I checked with a friend that gave me some inside information and yes Riverside will probably make a new album sometime 2015.

Uh...it *does* say they are going to make a new album though. Do you need a direct quote? :-)
At any rate (shameless self-promotion time) I run this page, which is officially sanctioned, if not "Official". Sometimes I get insider info too.... ;-)

K...from the Dec. 3rd update on the official Riverside facebook page: a list of April 2014 tour dates followed by the statement:
"Small
reminder - these shows will be the last ones before a longer break.
After them weŽll hide in the studio to work on the new album"
From the November 27th update (Riverside FB page):
"Riverside Live 2014
We are very
pleased to inform that the "New Generation Tour" is not over. Due to the
huge interest and the success of our latest album šShrine of New
Generation Slaves", and also due to the fact that some people are only
getting to know us, we are going to play for you in a few more places
in April 2014. Obviously, there will be changes in the setlist and lost
of surprises. Those shows will be the last ones before a longer break.
After them weŽll hide in the studio to work on our sixth album."
