Periphery 3: Select Difficulty Discussion Thread

I love how every album has a different refreshing feel to it, it certainly showed with this album.

They totally merked it. So many different styles being used.

The Price is Wrong - mixed opinions at first, it's raw and gritty with a juicy solo

Motormouth - the intro riff is raw, it reminds me of the riff from Dots by skyharbor. The riff at the end great as well. Overall heavy track

Marigold - first orchestral track we were exposed to, I wasn't the biggest fan at first, but the chorus was catchy and I enjoyed the avant garde nature to the song

The way the news goes - that arpeggio riff at the beginning is beautiful and dat happy blast beat. There's a tiny part of a section where they finish the arpeggio thing off with orchestrated notes.

The syncopated riff at the end with the intro melody playing over it was genius. It amazes me that someone is alien enough to come up with something so groovy.

Finally the keys in the end were beautiful and the most fitting conclusion to the song

Remain indoors - haven't listened to much, but I enjoy it for the most part

Habitual line stepper - I love this whole song, the orchestral transition in the middle was so perfectly executed that I was covered in goosebumps and got shivers down my spine.

The eerie Deftones transition later on was sauce.

Periphery's songs each have such a different feel to them and this is a great example of one.

Flatline- I love this song for the riffs, Spencer's vocals, the chorus... But the second half of the song blows me away.

The interlude instrumental gives me strong Tool vibes but the vocals give me a mix of Ellie Goulding (Lights) and foster the people (pumped up kicks).

Absolomb- this is the racecar of the album, the production is on point and every piece is perfectly placed.

What I mean by racecar is the feel and the epic journey throughout the song. It might be in my head, but I'm sure someone might get an intuitive feeling that there are parts that have similar vibes to racecar.

Catch Fire- Funky and I sense Mike Patton influence. I listen to this song and I'm like "damn, this is so different from PI, PII, clear, and juggernaut.

Prayer Position- Classic heavy riffage. I feel the same about this song as I did with Motormouth.

Lune - Great melodic piece and awesome way to end the album. This song as a whole is just great. I teared up

Periphery continues to out do themselves every album and the band is unrecognizable at times due to the constant attempt to try something new.

I fucking love this album.
