Well at least if they're going back to regular single albums there won't be so much filler rubbish amongst the good tracks!

Hopefully it's a lot better than Jugg. Don't let me down again.

"There is a lot of speculation in here so I'll just clear it up in the hopes of damage control on misinformation.

We are extremely happy with and proud of Juggernaut, and it far surpassed our expectations in terms of response and sales, especially considering that it really was something that was more about scratching an itch for us than anything else. Alpha/Omega are personally my favorite things Periphery has put out.

Unfortunately, beyond the initial release, our general approach to the album cycle was completely mismanaged. This left us with a lot of downtime, and we made the most of that time by writing new material. We parted ways with our old management, signed up with new management, and we were already in the mood to tackle a new album.
We have no specific goal for what this next album needs to be, we are just writing things that put smiles on our faces!"- Misha Mansoor on why Periphery is back in the studio so soon.

It's gonna be another 3.5/5 album probably.

I don't know what it is about Periphery, they're amazingly talented but they do nothing for me.

It'll probably be a 3.5/5 like their last few. They are very talented, but they need to cut down the filler tracks.

"Do nothing" as in I can appreciate their talent and I find a few of their songs catchy but I can't see myself revisiting their stuff very often. I enjoyed their previous albums but I never think to myself "damn I'm in the mood for some Periphery".

Juggs is good but I would also love to see a little more diversity. A lot of Juggernaut was a similar tempo, so I'd love to see some more blistering riffing like on "Graveless".

Speaking of Deftones, Steph needs to learn how to djent. He should go to one of those bandhappy classes that Periphery usually provide on their tours, and djent master Misha can teach Steph how to djent. They can call their next album "Deftones IX: Not Eros"

given the band's statement and changing in manager n' stuff, there's no reason to assume things will go in the way they went with alpha & omega

AlexKzillion

Periphery I and II were both originally intended to be the Juggernaut albums, but they had to scrap those plans for whatever reason and just do a traditional album. Now they finally got Juggernaut out of their system, and they didn't try to write a huge double disc concept album this time. So in a way, they are going in a completely different direction that they haven't ever gone before.

Misha perfected the art of internet PR. No press is bad press, right? While other bands rail against internet trolls, Purrfurry feeds on them.

It's true tbh. I wasn't really on any music forums or anything when periphery 2 came out and honestly the reason I heard about it was from elitists bitching about the name. I listened expecting something shitty and a bit of a laugh but found something decent instead.
