The guitarists for this album had it so easy. Lmao. Just come in and … lol

Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off

Sleepwave wasn't well received either lol

Album Rating: 3.5

this is definitely a stronger record than Broken Compass, and i credit the signature Underoath-isms littered across it. i think i just have a soft spot for these bands going alt-rock because unlike the usual acts in the genre ala Three Days Grace with Matt, Disturbed, Godsmack, etc. bands like this have a massive advantage in that their vocalists aren't aggressively mediocre and letting them spread their wings when they're as good as the likes of Spencer is almost always a W in my books

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah this is pretty clearly at least better than the one album Sleepwave did

Album Rating: 3.5

like i know everyone would hate it but i wouldn't mind if Periphery went proggy alt-rock for an album and just let Spencer run the show even more than he does now, ala his Endur side project

This Time It’s Acoustical

"This Time It’s Acoustical" unironically yes please, Sotelo's a top 5 favorite of mine and giving him the keys to serenade would make me swoon~

Still boggles my mind they put this album out. Such a downgrade musically and lyrically.



Spencer wrote better lyrics when he believed in Jesus.

"How can you sleep here, I bear the weight of your world

I don't believe in a single word you sold to me, sold to me

I bear your burden for the last time

I swear I'm done with all of this" - Paper Lung



"I am still alive but I am just an empty shell

I give myself away to this lonely hollow hell

In my head, I'm afraid that I can't trust myself

You won't understand" - In Motion



take from this what you will but i'm not seeing the massive difference

Album Rating: 2.0

Those two samples In Motion is clearly superior.

Album Rating: 2.0

I mean both lyrics are bland.



Completely agree they should have reformed as a different band to do all this junk they do now

Album Rating: 3.5

i don't think either are "bland", but i vibe with this style of writing more than some expertly-written prose with a meaning i have to study anyway, because it feels more personal and real.

Album Rating: 2.0

In Motion rules. One of the very few bright spots on this album

Album Rating: 3.5

yep that, no frame, the opener, i gave up and hold your breath all are highlights to me. its the 2-7 stretch that (mainly tracks 4-5) threatens to drop my rating a little bit but all the others just hit for me

Album Rating: 3.5

also, im running through this again for the first time in months, so far its holding up for me

edit: what the fuck, this is GROWING back on me, its back to a solid 4.0 but not much beyond that

Album Rating: 2.0

They could’ve gone out perfect if they left things with Disambiguation….
