“ positivity is my motto”

One of my mottos is

“Don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit”
- Ten Wanted Men

I don’t mean it in regard to anything here, i just wanted to bring this up

@ the last bunch of comments about my preferences: poetry is nice on its own, I just tend to prefer it set to music and i've found myself listening to more acoustic-focused stuff lately alongside melodic hardcore and stuff like this.

there's no one-size fits all approach to emotion, but I've noticed that modern singer-songwriter stuff ala City and Colour appeals to me more than the old stuff, because it tends to live and die by the vocal performance.

The classic artists aren't bad by any means, but I feel a more relatable sense of emotion from someone like Dallas Green or Aaron Gillespie (his acoustic renditions of Underoath and The Almost tracks) than I ever could, say... Nick Cave? Bob Dylan is one I feel like I should like more, but for some reason I just don't.

"One man's garbage is another man's treasure." - My dad while waking me up to go to garage sales at 5am on a Saturday when I was a kid. I've actually enjoyed this thread more than the album at this point.

"There are a lot of subtleties that differentiate Fronterier's work even if the exterior belies it. Oxidized especially has an increased melodic influence and is undoubtedly their tightest effort to date. Regardless of opinion there, however, it's certainly a divergence from the norm in this scene."

Yeah Mars I definitely noticed something in the lighter interlude sections, so I'd say I liked it slightly more than the other album I spun. But both to me are really exhausting and hard to sit through for the full duration because of the abrasive, harsh exterior. And to me the production really focuses in more on the abrasiveness than the subtleties underneath. I feel like 2000s mathcore ala The Number Twelve Looks Like You, Converge, Dillinger appeal to me more because while they're abrasive, the production doesn't obscure every other part of it to where it's nigh-impossible to hear if you're not already used to stuff that absolutely insane.

i think my main gripe is that while he does hit the notes, the notes themselves are in fact gay

The petition to get Periphery to only tour in June has been unsuccessful to say the least

Album Rating: 5.0

why is it always fuckin Underoath that has to headline these tours?



Periphery are more than capable of headlining a tour and I am really fed up with bands I like opening for the played-out Underoath

I’m surprised they aren’t, instead, having difficulty booking the bar down the street.

Fucking baffling.

Album Rating: 4.5

Agreed. I've seen Loathe and Periphery headline and neither had any issue filling out the venue. Underoath sucks ass.

Album Rating: 1.0

Underoath's pre-reunion stuff slaps

underoath may suck now but they defined a great line a generation of pop metal, periphery have never and will never be at that level of popularity and loathe are by all accounts a relatively new band.

Album Rating: 4.5

i mean... i saw periphery open for underoath a couple weeks ago in the same venue i saw them headline pre-covid



periphery can easily/probably will do a headline tour later this year or early next year, but it doesn't hurt to open for underoath who has a larger fanbase who probably isn't all that familiar but can very conceivably get into periphery (especially when periphery is blowing underoath off the stage sorry not sorry)

Album Rating: 4.5

Loathe absolutely destroyed when they came through a few months ago. I fucking love their last album so seeing the whole thing live was a real treat.



I saw Periphery right before Covid and Mark was still in timeout from the Yvette thing so they had Plini play a solo for Reptile and I was sad.

Wish I could go to one of those shows honestly. Meh, Plot In You are coming to my area in a couple months and I dig them so I'll try to catch that.

Album Rating: 3.5

What a fun thread to scroll through. I really hope people that don't understand subjective taste and spend their time arguing with people in threads of bands they don't even enjoy are children.



ANYWAY. Album is good. It almost leans to a 4 but idk, P4 is a strong 4 leaning 4.5 and for me this feels largely like a retread of P4 but not *quite* as strong.

Wildfire is great, Everything is Fine and the last 2 are also standouts, although closing with 11-12 min monsters back to back is a bold pacing move and whole Nobuo is fantastic it doesn't hit quite as hard as Satellites

I think P4 was Spencer's best album, he's always been a love/hate vocalist for me, he has such strong melodies, good harshes with decent range, but I feel like on juggernaut/p3 especially his vocal delivery was so extra, very breathy, over the top, self-indulgent, almost valley girl like inflections, some off putting choices (RAY RAY RADIO) Never enough to stop me from liking the band but a lot of 'damn I wish you wouldnt' moments but P4/5 he seems to have gotten over that, also saw them on p4 tour having seen them a few times before that and Spencer has improved his clean singing a LOT live, so respect for that.



Yeah silhouette is kind of wack but one track of that doesn't really bother me. A full album of that would get flushed right down the toilet but single tracks like that on albums tend to grow on me re: Crush.



Anyway I'm a little mixed on it because it's so samey and doesn't have quite as many soaring melodic moments from Spencer that really make my butthole clench.



My rating is probable 2>4>Juggernaut>5>1>3 with 4/jug/5 all being p close. 2 is just too masterful and densely packed with amazing tracks and it's what got me into them so will probably always be a fav

Album Rating: 4.5

My girlfriend and I are gonna catch Whitechapel in April. Excited to see them play The Valley in full since their older stuff is boring and Phil is a surprisingly good singer.



Miiiight see The Acacia Strain and Fit for an Autopsy but only if my friends wanna go. Ain't gonna catch me going to see Full of Hell and Primitive Man by myself on a weekday, lol.
