"bloody hell, you've only just named the 3 worst tracks there" sorry, I prefer melodically focused emo Periphery over any other form lol if the production was better I'd become a King Mothership stan

"That fucking call back to "The Way The News Goes" on "Thanks Nobou" is perfect. Like... it really feels like you're going on a journey with these guys on this album. I'm kind of wondering if there are more references to past songs sprinkled throughout this one."

There are definitely a lot of easter eggs/callbacks on the album. can't think of them all off the top of my head, but I'm confident there are at least 4-5 that are more than just "they accidentally wrote a similar riff"

I admit I find myself coming back to this far more than I anticipated

i am thinking of bumping this down but i also kind of dont feel like jamming this to find out lol. regardless cant say this has had much staying power



edit: wow what timing lmao the scales of the universe have once again become balanced

I honestly wasn't sure how much I would be coming back after the first couple listens, but I find myself thinking about it pretty regularly. Some tracks more than others, but to be expected. So much of this stuff is total ear candy that I crave. You can always count on purriphery to have delicious production and instrumentals

i mean literally every second of dracul gras sounds directly similar to parts of various songs they wrote in the past... its just kind of a question of whether or not they meant to actually do that. not really as clear cut as wildfire and zagreus where entire sections of juggernaut songs are lifted note for note



i think the fact that there really are easter eggs on this album gives the illusion that there are more easter eggs than there actually are. like say, if follow your ghost was on this album, people would be 100% saying that dissonant breakdown riff is a callback to the bad thing, when in reality it is just a really similar riff idea. but because there's no actual easter eggs on p4 nobody says that.

do you have a specific example on dracul gras? I mean it sounds like a periphery song yeah but nothing really jumped out at me as "too similar"

Album Rating: 4.5

many people in this thread have pointed to the verse starting at 0:14 sounding very similar rhythmically to rainbow gravity (or even claim it is rainbow gravity but just all 0s)



part starting at 3:34 is very similar to the middle part of stranger things



the rhythm guitar under the solo at 4:45 almost sounds ripped from stranger things but is slightly different



uhhhh listening to it back i think the riff at 9:27 may actually be rainbow gravity all 0s lmao



also def seen people say at 9:42 chug pattern is supposed to be a satellites easter egg



edit: ooo also saw someone claim the electronic outro is the black minute but in a major key, but i know fuck all about music theory and could not confirm that myself lol

Oh yeah I totally thought the riff at 0:14 was rainbow gravity, never actually played both back to back to check tho

Album Rating: 4.5

i'm pretty much thinking if it sounds like something from juggernaut chances are they meant it... if it sounds like something from a different album its prob just a really similar riff they wrote

Album Rating: 4.0

That’s a fair assessment. I buy into that

Album Rating: 4.5

I think the only songs I don't care as much about are Silhouette and Thanks Nobuo, which pains me as an old-school Final Fantasy fan.

this album is fucking amazing and my favorite album of the year so far



im really wondering why there is so much hate on these guys when they seem like a bunch of great people having fun and making the music they want to??

I wonder what the reception would be if they had never djented

To djent or not to djent,
