02.17.23 | It's nice to see P:3 getting some love on this site. When it came out I felt like there was a lot of negative reception to it. My kneejerk ranking of Periphery is
P2
Omega
P3
Alpha
P4
P1 |
Beardog
02.18.23 | 6 being 6 is the proper opinion. Don't really have a strong opinion on the other 5, I think they are quite similar in how much I enjoy them. |
Tundra
02.18.23 | Sput has shit takes on P3 |
ashcrash9
02.18.23 | some of P3 really pops off (Marigold, The News, Absolomb, & Lune especially) but most of the songs on there I could take or leave tbh. Contains the biggest percentage of their least memorable stuff imo
I justify my P1 appreciation for the fact it’s the era I got into them with. The production and Spencer’s vox are understandable reasons to not vibe with it as much but the songwriting on there still bangs and it’s got them old school djent-isms as a slice of something different than what they’ve evolved into and refined. Plus, uh, Racecar, like, holy shit hello |

02.18.23 | 6 is my top i think these days lol
p1 > p4 > p2 > jugg alpha > jugg omega > p3 |
MyMentality
02.18.23 | Never really enjoyed P1, but Omega at number 5? YOU MAD BRO? |
Beardog
02.18.23 | It's kinda weird yeah, but I can understand it. I think there is very little difference in quality between the last five Periphery records, just comes down to personal taste. Although I do think in this small range Omega is significantly better than Alpha |
onionbubs
02.18.23 | i mean i j think of jugg as one big album anyway the two discs are about even for me id j give alpha the slight edge |
Beardog
02.18.23 | ah cool. I think Alpha just has a bit more cringey parts than Omega does lol |
Tundra
02.18.23 | P1: most spastic, P2: most fun, Jugg: most immersive, P3: most emotional, P4: most mid |
Beardog
02.18.23 | The fuck does 'mid' mean (please explain thoroughly, I'm not a native speaker nor up to date with the youthly trends) |
ashcrash9
02.18.23 | mid = mediocre/underwhelming
which is absolutely not the case for P4 lmao |
Beardog
02.18.23 | yeah P4 is not underwhelming at all the fuck |
Tundra
02.18.23 | It do be |
Beardog
02.18.23 | You do be |
Tundra
02.18.23 | Reptile is easily the best song on P4, Garden, Satellites, Smiles = P3 song clones only not as a good. Sentient = P2 song clone only not as good. Blood Eagle = Meshuggah worship. Ghost = The Bad Thing but not as good. Crush is.. Crush. |
Beardog
02.18.23 | Casually not mentioning CHVRCH BVRNER haha
As mentioned earlier, I think all five records are very close in terms of quality. But I simply cannot believe PIV is 'mid' when Reptile is on that record and most of the songs are of similar quality as the other IV. I think Crush is quite nice actually. Of course not a top tier song but comparable to the lower tier songs on the other four records. |
Tundra
02.18.23 | I dont mind Crush pretty good |

02.18.23 | I haven't heard anything after 6. One of the weakest vocalists in metal. |
