In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm returning to the music of Polish progressive rock band Riverside with Big Tech Brother from their 2023 album ID.Entity. This band always challenges my ears and my mind, and this was no exception. I hope you enjoy!

Absolutely love this album. The entire alum is influenced by sounds of the 1980s, yet done with a modern prog style. But then at the same time is built around the concept of Big Brother of 1984 yet spun with the social commentary of modern times. Has the world around us really changed that much since those times? For the better? Will we ever learn. It's about time we learn our own Identity and think for ourselves (I.D.).
Let's all meet each other 1st of June in Warsaw on the biggest Riverside gig ever planed
Riverside is a truly under-rated band... Live shows are amazing, Mariusz brings ALL the emotion, and no one loves to perform more than Michal... band is SUPER tight
Not in the least underrated by the fans.. little known among the rabble, true, but underrated? Nope. All I hear is near worship among the fans..
@@ulfingvar1'Underated' is oft used and wrongly so. They are rated very highly by their fans.
"The place that I belong" should be next. Those songs make me proud of Poland!
I've been a Riverside fan for 15 years..... solid album throughout. " The Place Where I Belong" is the highlight of this album for me....
Doug should play 'Back to the river' by Riverside. It will make him shine on
riverside lost (why should i be frightened by a hat ) is a must listen Doug, greetings from Poland.
X2, beautiful song.
My favourite also. One of the simplests (from harmony & structure perspective) of their catalogue, but overwhelming
Great choice. I've owned and listened to this album since it's release. I've been working backward thru their catalogue. Great band with some very interesting instrumentation. I'm really digging them. I'm currently listening to "Shrine of New Generation Slaves". Stunning album! I see you've already reviewed Escalator Shrine. I'll have to look for that video. Excellent job. Keep on keepin' on!!!
You absolutely NEED to hear "Found (The Unexpected Flaw of Searching)". Pretty Pink Floyd vibes, especially from the guitar solo, but one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Hi, long-time Riverside fan here. It is just pure joy to see someone enjoy their music so much. Especially when it comes from clasically trained musician. Loved the video. Many thanks from Slovakia (neighbor of Poland)
I just saw them live last month. They had such a powerful energy on stage, it made me respect them even more as musicians and performers. Thank you for your insight as always, Doug!
Every Riverside album is a true masterpiece.
From Poland, Collage and Quidam , two fantastic bands.
I didn’t realise those were books, your breakdown has just given me a whole new understanding of the song, and maybe life too, thankyou
Thanx very much for reacting and analyzing this great newish track from Riverside, Doug!! I find your assessment of Riverside to be spot on. I had the good fortune to see (twice) and meet the guys on CTTE (Cruise To The Edge) a few years ago. Their shows are amazing and they are great guys to chat with. Go see them if you get the chance!!
as a longtime fan of Riverside and all things Steven Wilson, I thank you for helping spread the word about these 2 geniuses.
My favorite song from the album. That's why I love Riverside and what makes them "progressive" - they balancing between heavy moments and semi-acoustic fragments, where's only singer and piano or guitar alone heard. This contrast between heavy and soft sections makes it interesting and dramatic
Time to tune in! Synchronicity I guess - I listened to the album today for the first time in quite a while. The Universe has spoken. 😜
So fun to watch someone else enjoy one of my favorite bands!🎉
I really like this album, as well as all their other albums. Probably my favourite song off this album is the bonus instrumental track Age of Anger.
Agree
This song keeps you on your toes. Dark stuff and complex. Love this band!!
I saw them live twice last year supporting this album. This band really loves their fans, and they are a tight, closeknit unit. My favorite song off ID.Entity is Landmine Blast, which has an earworm bass lick that pervades the opening and closing sections. This band has never made a mediocre, never mind bad recording, with the one I listen to most often being ADHD. Try Egotist Hedonist off that one: Amazing Hammond organ and some really tasty guitar licks in the last couple of minutes of the tune.
I was supposed to see Riverside a couple years ago at Progpower in Atlanta and wasn't able to make it, but I was able to catch them here in Whittier (Los Angeles)a couple months later so that was cool. They were excellent.
Fantastic Album!! Finally saw them live for the first time on this tour here in the US. Landmine Blast is the standout for me, but only by a hair.
This was so much fun! Loved all your double takes into the camera. 😂 I have always loved the albums Second Life Syndrome and Rapid Eye Movement…some of my very favorite music, and I can’t believe I never explored further. I had no idea they had so many albums! Thank you for awakening my curiosity to explore more. The lead singer’s voice is just magical and mesmerizing to me. The music itself is divine. I love this band so much! I learned a lot from this Daily Doug, and am taking notes from all the comments. Gentle Giant has always been my second favorite band since the 70s, but Riverside does give them serious competition. You made this prog chick very happy with this video! Thank you!
As soon as I saw the thumbnail of you reacting to big tech brother, I knew I had to watch. I love the way you react to all the changes, big and subtle. I've been a Riverside fan for about 15 years and I could list so many songs for you to react to. Instead, there's too many, so I'm gonna patiently wait for the next one haha. Loved it.
Doug Helvering, I really enjoyed watching this, so I hit the like button!
Chills on the body :D
Riverside is an amazing band. Not a single dud album in their catalog, it's all great.
This is the sickest reaction I think ive ever watched. This song goes so hard and this album is sensational. Youre a bunch of fun guy!
Loved it ❤❤❤❤
Just...
WOOOOOOW! ❤😂😂😂
I should get this album and go backwards in their music...
Youre awesome doug
No time to watch on break but I have been a loyal riverside supporter since the first time they came to the US circa 2003 when I was just out of high school. They have only improved

I love Riverside, it's one of my favourite band and I like so much your reaction Doug, I'm not so expert of music but you are very clear explaining every songs. So now I have to ask you another reaction video, I'd like to know what do you think about the band "NANOWAR OF STEEL", start with the song "VALHALLEUJA", I'm sure you will enjoy it!
You nailed it! World changed so much last decades! We all hoped after Covid, World would be a better place 😶. It isnt. Youngsters are worst than then... Always thinking about themselves... No one helping no one. Sad world we r living in 😑 Btw I do love the album. Thank u so much for sharing👌
I see Riverside, I click. Lots of good songs on that new album.
When someone is "air drumming" like that, you know it means something. Congrats Doug, you've got taste !!!
Doug, you definitely should listen to other amazing prog rock bands, such as BAROCK PROJECT (Italy), MOON SAFARI (Sweden), RPWL (Germany), SUBSIGNAL (Germany), CROWN LANDS (Canada), LIGESIGNS (England).
Here are suggestions of songs of each group for you to analyse:
BAROCK PROJECT - Voyager (latest single);
MOON SAFARI - Teen Angel Meets The Apocalypse (incredible epic);
RPWL - Give Birth To The Sun;
SUBSIGNAL - The Passage;
CROWN LANDS - Starlifter: Fearless Pt. II (great epic that seems like 70's Rush);
LIFESIGNS - Altitude (tittle track).
All those bands are increadible. BAROCK PROJECT and MOON SAFARI are my favourites, by far.
Thumbs up for Barock Project!
Really need to revisit some The Who on the channel. To really understand the band should check them out live. A Quick One While he is Away from the Rollin Stones Rock & Roll Circus or Young Man Blues from 1970 Isie of Wight would be great choices.
Hello doug!, would love to see you react to king crimson's epitaph!
Doug has done KC quite extensively, but Fripp blocks on YT, so it is only available through Doug's Patreon. See the link in this video's description to the Directory of Doug's reactions.
Alright, Day one of asking for a react to the Port Sulphur Band, music for video game Hunt Showdown, the band is actually devs from the game creating a full band (playing live and selling vinyls) around the game they created.
"They are talking about dystopian novels. Are they coming true?"
Well yes, yes they are.
Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno please
Just for fun... Read a book by Michael Moorcock called The Elric Saga. Next, listen to a Hawkwind album called Live Chronicles. You'll thank me later.
Recommendation for your next metal moday. Either "Lost It All" by Black Veil Brides or "Leave a Light On" by Papa Roach. Keep up the good work
try to react FALLING IN REVERSE - WATCH WORLD BURN
kerry king residue reaction please
Riverside is just great. The last album is not my favourite one.
We got used to us is their song I keep going back to. A simpler tune with powerful lyrics.
Yes, you can pronounce Polish names quite correctly... But I still prefer your assessment and opinions on musical matters 🤣🤣
Regards!!
Please react to “La Poderosa Muerte” by “Los Jaivas”, I send you an email with some interesting info about the track and the translated lyrics 🙏🙏
Hi all! I wanted to share a folk-metal band from Ukraine called Geneza (ua: "Ґенеза"), that takes Ukrainian folk songs and makes them metal.
They have some unique traditional instruments in some of their song as well, e.x. Sopilka (ua: "Сопілка").
For now, they only have 1 album Obrii (ua: "Обрій") and a single, they are all great.
Happy listening!
This sounds alot like early King Crimson. Just not as complicated.....
Not a lot of prog with horns. There should be!!
Big big train!
Kinda boring. But I guess that's "prog" metal for you.
