Periphery Megathread: Everything Periphery

[bulb]

I think the Sentient Glow debate must be based on what you heard first, because to me the new SG is a stone cold banger. The older one doesn’t do it for me. I’m a huge fan of Spencer’s vocals on the new one (but I’m just having fun with it, so take that for what it’s worth).

This is often the case with music in general. With that said I’m glad that the majority of people who hear Sentient Glow will hear it realized in its best light with the P4 version.

Man, this is definitely your strongest album so far IMO. So much variety but it all flows together nicely.

Reptile and Crush are my favourites so far.

 

[Lianoroto]

Reptile, and Crush are total bangers. Crush just grabs you by surprise when it appears on first playthrough, and had me loving it by 45 seconds in.

For me, I don't think there is anything I dislike in this release when looked at as a whole. It's just, once again, exactly what I wanted. Totally in love with this album!

Heres to hoping it ages as well as P2 and Juggernaut. P3 got bland real quick, imo.

Two listens and I got a damn earworm already.

Awesome job gentleman. Cya Thursday.

@bulb This album is excellent Misha. You can really tell the effort and care that went into the writing and the production.

I’m actually surprised to see so many people dig Crush, that one is really out there as a Periphery song and as much as I was super proud of how it came together I was also ready for the hate hahah.

Have you been listening to Muse?

(I'm enjoying Crush too)

 

[bracky]

Any chance of getting my Invective faceplate signed Thursday?

Man such an amazing album I did a piano jam on Satellites. Happy Saturday peeps.

I get really strange Hagar-era Eddie Van Halen guitar vibes off of some of the riffs in "It's Only Smiles." The opening riff especially. That could be on 5150.

The new album is a production masterpiece. I’m not sure it’s their best (safest?) songwriting, but it definitely grabbed me and was a needed change. P3 was just meh to me after such a strong outing on P2. P4 sounds like everything firing on all cylinders, and did I mention “It’s only smiles”?

Did Crush start out as an ENDUR track?

Yea I’ve always gotten that with a lot of Mark’s riffs!
Put the intro to the song ‘5150’ on a lower tuning, modernize the tone a bit, and it wouldn’t be out of place between the more melodic Periphery songs.
And as you said the other way around as well, do a higher tuning, slap a chorus pedal on that chain and you got yourself some Eddie

The bad thing, marigold, garden in the bones, blood eagle, mark zero and close with Masamune I believe.

 

[Flappydoodle]

Songs are hit and miss IMO. Very varied, so I expect that people will find things they like and dislike.

The production is incredible though. Guitar tones, bass, drums, vocals - all absolutely incredible.

Ugh it’s always hard to watch games on the road.

 

[Ben Pinkus]

Really liking the new album. I've got into it off of the bat alot quicker than P3, where whilst I dug a few tracks, the whole thing was more of a grower.

This album is a great continuation of everything Periphery imo. Crush is the track that took me by surprise which is cool.
But everything is really really well done. Blood eagle was a great lead in as a single too.

Keep up the amazing work folks.

Just finally got around to watching the documentary, and is that the Guthrie Govan sig that Mark is jamming on?
