Wow, I was just about to create a thread about them
awesome band, the first one that managed to remind me that there are also other bands than DT
(after like a year of DT-ism) I love the way they're progressing and trying new things with each album. Though they're good at ballads and calm songs, my favourites are the songs where they can combine atmosphere with heavier playing - they're really great in that. Just listen to Ultimate Trip, Beyond the Eyelids or Hybrid Times. (Though still... for some reason Second Life Syndrome holds the title of my favourite Riverside song ever.)
It seems that here I'm also in the minority
- my favourite album is Rapid Eye Movement. The most mature, the most atmospheric, the most varied, the best-written. Atm I still feel I haven't listened to the new album enough (I know, if 10 listens is not enough, then I'm probably a bit weird), but I can say it's
at least equally good.
