One of Riversides' best. An album that takes a few listens to full appreciate, so don't give up Horizons!! I'm sure many fans are shocked by the transition from heavier stuff to calm, almost Porcupine Tree-like resemblance. After Anno Domini, I thought they'd get heavier and heavier.. This was a welcomed change for me!! Gotta get some variety in sound, right? I can't help but listen to the album on a daily basis.. I only wish it was longer!!

I'm not liking the sound of some of the opinions on the new album. This was my first anticipated album of 2013 (while still trying to catch up on 2012, and even 2011 still). But, I enjoyed Memories In My Head that came out after ADHD, is that any indication of the feel of the new album?

Don't sweat it Darkshade, I've given it a few runs on Spotify over the past couple of days and really like it. Based on the Spotify listens, the real deal should be in the mail in a few weeks. It's not as heavy as . . . well . . . anything else they've ever done, but it really works.

New album is fantastic! Listen to it ASAP if you haven't already!
Thanks progger7.
All the bashing here from the headbanging kids who play MP3s on youtube tell me that this Riverside effort probably
has a fair bit of dynamics and outside the box compositions. Sounds great to me!
Looking forward to it.
I love Mystery's - One Among The Living, and that is also one that the young headbangers crucified, kinda like the
same vibe here.
Cheers!
Get off your pedestal there.
Sorry if we think the album is boring/not as good as you think. The hype doesn't seem to have us going "BEST ALBUM 2013".
Eh don't let DennisMoore get you going, he's a good guy, just a little out there. Try to imagine a drunken combination of Liberace and Randy the Macho Man Savage and you get Dennis. He's mostly already forgotten the comment and gone off to tell someone about how great Air Supply's Greatest Hits sounds in his new 13.1 surround sound system complete with smell-o-vision.

Ah, my handsome young friend Horizons,
I thought my little remark about "headbanging kids who play MP3s on youtube" would draw you out from your mom's basement. Nice to see you, been a while.
You really must upgrade from those cheap plastic PC speakers and youtube, this is after all a "progressive" forum. ...for $150 bucks you could really upgrade your soundscape:
Ok, all kidding aside..., it is true when you and your fellow headbangers crap on some new album, I tend to love it. So I am excited to maybe have some fresh meat to sink my teeth into.
What was your take on Mystery - One Among The Living?

Liberace??? Holy smokes. I did not see that one coming, at all.
And Air Supply??? I have never even seen one of their albums.
I think I will stay back at The Flower Kings thread. You guys play too rough here.
Oh, the "13.1 surround sound system complete with smell-o-vision." comment was brilliant.
Excuse me while I go fetch M27Barney. When he & I come back here some people are gonna be really sorry!
P.S. @ Roland, I guess you have never recovered from me calling you "fish face", but from your avatar.....

I'm not sure how boring compositions will be fixed with sound quality.
The two are completely separate. Sound quality is kinda like: Having good manners or dressing well. Those are always good to have going on. But yes, any music has to be interesting regardless of the quality..
You say "boring compositions"? Who is on the high horse now???
You didn't tell me if you had checked out the Mystery record.....

Dennis . . . pffft Twas all meant in good fun. The infamous 'fish face' comment just allowed me to open up a little more to you and give you the honor and pleasure of seeing my true maniacal and chaotic self . . . muhahahahaha
