"almost all in the first half but the heavy moments and songs here are some of the heaviest they've ever done."

i def agree with this. for all the poppy stuff on here... they really go out of their way to make the heavy moments so obnoxiously heavy that it kinda renders the octane-core allegations moot. feel like this blows an albums like jugg and p3 out of the water in that regard.

also feel like spencer's clean choices are wayyy too weird for the average octane fan hahaha.

Songwriting is too poor to be octanecore agreed

Heaven on High is half synthy Matty Healy worship and straight Veil of Maya. I love the VoM, hate the Healy lol. And yes I mean Healy (1975) and not Heafy

I’m not even sure I interpret the lyrics on Unlocking but they make me cringe nonetheless

For some reason, seeing all these wildly different opinions is making me want to listen to this album, normally I wouldn't spend a minute on a Periphery record.

EDIT : just realized it has a Will Ramos feature, nevermind.

the Will Ramos feature actually is quite the head scratcher, especially being the only feature in the album. like who approached who and why. I can only imagine it was to swing some new fans that just see "Will Ramos" and do the soyjack pointing meme.

"How do we sell as many records as popular? Hey, Will Ramos is hot right now, let's get him". This discussion definitely happened

If Periphery really wanted to sell as many records as possible they would've taken a wildly different route. I'm sure they can be an S-tier popcore band if they want to, they just need a producer to reel them in.

You’re giving them way too much of a benefit of the doubt in the songwriting department lol. This is the most reined in they’ve been in forever and it’s still slapdash

I actually agree with that, writing an "S-tier popcore" album that was successful or not would be harder than chinese algebra for them I think

something being successful has very little to do with the quality of the music. I've no doubt these guys could do a high quality djent pop thing if they wanted to.

I regret to inform you that all of these mid level super shiny produced pop metalcore bands you love have these conversations
