ID.ENTITY

The pinnacle of modern prog. The mixture of absolute virtuosity, musicality and deep philosophy could only end up at this. With this record Riverside proved that they are not the usual heavy prog metal act, all through a varying, versatile gamma of beautiful sounds. Keyboards change from a techno-ish vibe to a vintage hammond organ in a span of a few seconds, just as Mariusz voice travels through every emotion a human is capable to sense.

+ The basslines are just out of this world.

+ The new guitarst soloes just fucking well.

+ "I'm done with you" features one of the best melodies i've heard in prog in a good while and "Big Tech Brother" climax is just absolutely tearing.

Nothing else to say gentlemen, this is top notch prog, and every thing that goes unmentioned in this review is still there in the record, so go listen.

Best track: Big Tech Brother / I'm Done With You

Weaker track: The Place Where I Belong (not bad, just goes on for a little too long)
