Album Rating: 3.5

P1 is the sound of a band desperate to get their foot in the door, with a lot of meticulous (but great) songwriting and a kind of rigid, at points awkwardly-produced tone

PII is the sound of that band loosening up its songwriting to feel more organic and making steps forward in the production

Juggernaut is the sound of that band trying to incorporate both previous styles into one darker, narrative-driven concept

This is the sound of that band remembering how to have fun again and sacrificing technicality for small morsels of experimentation with mixed results



a fairly objective guide to Periphery, there you go

Album Rating: 3.0

P1 was decent but it feels too much like a Meshuggah knock-off most of the time

Album Rating: 2.5

Really accurate summary Ash

How in the fuck did The Price Is Wrong get nominated for a Grammy?

because it's grammy. which category were they in? extreme metal?

Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Off

nom'd along with Megaderp, Korn, Baroness, and Gojira. Gojira were also nominated for best rock album, so that says a thing or two about the people voting for these categories.

Album Rating: 3.0

A Beyonce song nominated for Best Rock Performance? wtf?

lol why is it that every fucking year the grammys come and people are like "woah damn what a load of bullshit with these awful artists none of them deserves to win" and still this site continues to care about it

Well at least David Bowie and Radiohead are up there, can't say I'm surprised about the former.

Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Off

Radiohead fit right in with their boring af music.

Album Rating: 4.0

Bad but fun to laugh at

marigold rules

Album Rating: 2.0

If only the rest of the album could've been as good. Absolom is pretty tight as well.

Album Rating: 1.5

Yeah Marigold is definitely the best song on here

Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off

Marigold, flatline, absolomb and lune (and remain indoors and prayer position to a much lesser extent) are really all I come back to at this point but they're solid enough to justify the rating for me

Album Rating: 2.0

those are definitely the best tracks, but they can't save the rest of the album. all the other tracks are meh to wtf levels of bad.
