Vocals at the beginning were eve worse than before. Somehow, he sounds even more annoying there. They get better later on, but altogether it still doesn't sound amazing. This is not looking good for the band tbh.

the chorus, solo, and bridge after the second chorus were all nice but the other half of the song was pretty stale

Sotelo should move full time to FFTL now. He's ruining this band for me.

Overall, I'm still enjoying the songs they have released so far, but this is definitely not the direction that I thought they would go. This "new" sound could just be the product of this being a concept album, where more liberties cannot be taken since cohesion is a necessity for telling a story over 16 songs (and two albums I guess)

I fully expect this album to get mediocre reviews, but the inevitable Periphery III should get back to what made Periphery a big prog name in the first place.

The fact that they keep dropping their songs evinces their own feelings regarding their songs' quality.

I'm left wondering that they might be more careful to make sure they don't erroneously drop their songs - thereby reducing their value and potentially breaking them - if they were confident in the quality of their songs.

Those poor, poor abused songs, constantly being dropped.

This is awful just like all of the other music they put out. This is like pop music for progressive metal. The vocals are terrible and if they weren't so bad perhaps I would give the music more of a listen. As it is I can barely make it past a few songs. I'm sure they will have their fan base just like slip knot does. Yuck

The issue isn't Spencer's vocals, it's just the songwriting here is really stale, like most of PII. Vastly prefer the other two songs that have been released.

if anything I think Spencers vocals have improved and are much more listenable than before.

What ever happened to epic songs like Racecar and Erised? Plenty of the hundreds of djent bands that have popped up the past few years can match or top any of the 3 songs they've released so far. I know Periphery is better than this.

Also,

The only good thing this band has ever released is the instrumental version of PI, which is unfortunate because that album shreds so hard.

Double albums seem like a bad idea generally. Filler is basically inevitable in most cases, and it's not like Periphery is a band that's capable of breaking that trend. The solo/lick whatever at 2:40 is kind of cool I guess.

They're never going to top P1. Spencer has improved a lot since then but the rest of the band is so dull now. More Racecar and Letter Experiment please.

I didn't really get the hate on Spencer, but damn he sounds bad in all the new songs released...
And instrumentals are really forgetable too. Looks like these albums will be on the same level as Clear...

This song just goes nowhere in my opinion, it just sounds like 5 tracks cobbled together with no coherency whatsoever.

I'm officially more stoked to hear FFTL's new album than this album...errr these albums.

Insurrection

gotta disagree, about the coherency at least. it sounds like a full song- it has a standard pop structure (v-c-v-c-b-v-c) and everything.

my problem with it is that no section is that good, besides the bridge which is still nothing special compared to what theyve done before

The vocals and this music are perfect if you want to make some money in the music industry. Other than that, you are very new to music if you like this. Either way to each his own.

Spencer sounds great with fftl, it's just with Periphery he sounds goofy with the note choices and vocal lines coupled with the corny lyrics.
Scarlet, Erised and Ragnarok shows he can kill it.

Dammit I hope that in the 2015 people stop derpin while I'm djentin, lololol.

Now seriously, song is ok, but is abussing of the nu metal and metalcore elements, album is going to be a
3,5 or a 4 at best

The problem here is that they are abusing of the elements used by nu metal and metalcore bands ( the elements used by slipknot and KSE are in the 70 % of the 3 track of juggernaut). Is not bad but I expect that the others will have more variety

Ugh. PI was such a brilliant album and everything since then has been fucking shit (besides Clear... was actually kinda cool). They're further and further castrating themselves and losing all musical complexity. Shame.
