Periphery Megathread: Everything Periphery

[Albake21]

I still remember seeing a video of what I believe was the first time Racecar was played, the solo comes and the camera is on Misha assuming he's playing it, and Misha is pointing at Jake basically "No, dude, over there! Jake's playing!" Good times.
I guess I'm basically saying I really wish Racecar was back in the set. Even like a Dream Theater thing where play like the first half early on and then close with the second half or something.

Anyway, did Jake learn that solo from Loomis or did he figure it out on his own?

I'm assuming you're talking about this video? Ahhh good times. Man have they improved their live performance lol. The part you're talking about is right after Misha's solo around 9:05

 

[Ralyks]

Yup, that's the video.

Man, to hear that track with Spencers voice now would just, well, just swell...

Hey, not sure if I can post this here but I'm always stoked to hear Nolly's playing. Their new GGD library sounds very good, too.

 

[soul_lip_mike]

Damn Nolly is fuckin good on guitar.

Damn Nolly is fuckin good on guitar.

He was the best guitar player on Periphery. The irony.

 

[ChugThisBoy]

He was the best guitar player on Periphery. The irony.

Yeah, sweet irony. Rest of the guys can play for sure but Nolly's skills and phrasing are just magnificent. It always bothers me, really. He's great with playing, engineering, mixing etc. and I wonder how his mind didn't explode yet Years of experience and studying for sure.

Just Getgood son.

He's basically music Jesus.

Perfect, now if I could just get the download I paid for, I can go carry on with my day and listen to this in my car rather than being tethered to a laptop

Sounds dope tho.

Loving it, a great evolution from P3, there’s something in here for everyone, even though it’s leaning a bit more towards the heavier side.

Crush is taking my top spot for favorite right now in terms of the songs as a whole, although I like some seperate sections in other songs better, for example the second half of Follow Your Ghost which slays.
Reptile is a huge accomplishment imo, it’s done really really well, I think it's the best from their set of longer songs.
As I always liked their softer side as well It’s Only Smiles scores a lot of points with me too.

Hell it’s just all good, congrats to Misha and the guys, great stuff, will be spinning this many many more times

You do realize this is out early right?

I'm a little indifferent on first listen, but I think it's a great album in terms of the general music. Maybe it's just time and tastes changing, but I think all the previous albums hit harder when they first came out for me than this one. Doesn't mean this is a bad release in any way, but I'd rank their other albums higher for sure.

It probably sounds harsh but I think this might actually be at the bottom of my list or on par with Clear in the spectrum of all the albums.

I'd give it an overall 7/10, with my favorites being Sentient Glow, Follow Your Ghost, and Garden in the Bones.

Anyone catch the final seconds of the final song?

 

[Kaura]

So is The Focus Hour on the album or not? I remember seeing clips of the guys recording it last year.

The opening riff from Bulbs’ “The Focus Hour” is featured within the opening track, “Reptile”. On the note of Bulb, it’d be great to see “Füf” show up in some future Periphery material!

 

[Avedas]

Who put Mikee Goodman on Reptile? That's awesome

 

[M3CHK1LLA]

was listening to a couple of the older albums and its cool see how great they still hold up after all these years...
