7. Riverside – Anno Domini High Definition
I love being tricked when I listen to music. And that’s just what ADHD does. What starts as a subtle piano tune quickly turns into one of the most active records this year. From Opeth-esk melodies to keyboard riffs straight from Floyd, Riverside has created an odyssey for the ears, (there’s also a fair bit of Tool and Porcupine Tree sprinkled around as well.) The performances of the musicians should also noted. Guitarist Piotr is really the star of the show, (the whole record is basically one big 44 minute solo), and singer Mariusz can convey nostalgia for the past better than any other singer I’ve heard recently. ADHA is one of those records that needs to be listened to from beginning to end – if you don’t then you’re missing out on something beautiful. This IS modern prog at its best.
