Silhouette was the song that made me emotional during the album. Just was walking and enjoying the album, dealing with a lot of thoughts in my head. But as soon as the song kicked in, I started having goosebumps and was really close to tearing up in public. Not a die-hard fan of Periphery, for a long time was struggling to click with their sound. But man, this album is absolutely gorgeous!

I went on a walk to listen to the last 2 songs, and for the last 4 minutes of the last track I literally had to close my eyes while walking to feel that music. It was emotional and magical.

Hi, just wanted to say that I second, third, and fourth this suggestion

Hearing Silhouette after Everything Is Fine was absolutely hilarious 🤣

I can’t say I have a favorite Periphery album. I was introduced to them with P3 but I also love Alpha, Omega, and P4. Very hard to choose.

Love your reactions dude. The emotions hit me in these songs too, which is why i love this band so much. Not many other bands can make me be on the verge of tears and give me stank face minutes later

this is my favorite album right after P2, and its very close because the production quality really drives the sound home on this album

dude i legit teared up in the same part of Wax Wings, its just perfect

Love the journey the album takes you on. Each song has its own vibe so you can tell apart from another song on the album. It's an amazing album!!

Each and every song on this album grows on you with every listen. So many layers, so many feelings. Gorgeous.

P2 will forever be the album that got me interested in pushing my boundaries on guitar. I love P2

This is definitely their best album but I've definitely got recency bias. I think Reptile is their best song and PIII has the way the news goes which is another personal favourite but I love this album, every song slaps. I'd say as a whole it's their strongest release. I love Misha's evolution with orchestra elements. Forever my favourite band. Periphery and Erra going back and forth with releasing peak metal

@julianluna8688

Putting my recency bias aside I would say objectively this is their best album with P4 right on its heels.

it's a battle between P2 and P4 for my favourite Periphery Album, currently this one is lower on my list but i think with more listens it will settle into a potentially higher position, that said i still think this is a great album, Wax Wings especially.

Dracul Gras is such an interesting song, one of my favs off the album The track length, the intro, the general vibe, all the different sections coupled with that intimidating-ass album cover make this song such a cool experience every time haha

I was working out the first time I listened to this album, and Wax Wings literally made me stop what I was doing. Lol.

The only way to describe "Wax Wings" is sexy. It just sounds so good

14:47 funny you say that. if you dont know, they put out a documentary on creating the album. its not a deep dive into how they created it but its definitely a fun watch

P:II is nostalgic for me when I started listening to metal here and there. Recently, listening to their stuff after these singles, P:III is heavier and more punchy. Great tracks.

PV is something special. I love the entirety of their discography but this one is standing tall above the rest just in terms of pure creativity and pushing boundaries. PIV came at a rough time in my life so that one will always have a special place in my heart, as will PIII to a lesser extent. Juggernaut though, my god, that was my holy grail on vinyl and I cried when I got it to complete the set. PII is the first album of theirs I listened to so again, special place, and PI is just banger after banger but the production lets it down (and let’s not forget Clear, an exceptional EP). In conclusion: Djent.

Wax wings is my favorite also. It made me tear up also. Because of how beautiful the vocals are. How high he goes toward the end of the song, it gave me goosebumps

The final track Thanks Nobuo is an Ode and appreciation for the composer of majority of the final fantasy series main line game's music (Nobuo Uematsu) there are a lot of final fantasy influenced melodies sounds and rhythms.

Favourite Periphery album is definitely still P:II. 2nd is P:IV, and then Juggernaut. This one is still growing on me, but out the gate it's not in my top 3 for them tbh. Of this album though, Wax Wings is by far my favourite track. It's exactly what I wanted from from P:V since the singles were all so heavy. Such a beautiful song.

So hard to pick a favorite Periphery album, been listening since P1. PV is so fresh to me, but I can see it easily becoming my favorite with more listens. Atropos and Wildfire are two of the best Periphery tracks out there. Otherwise.... PII and Juggernaut are tied for my favorites.

Periphery is one of my favorite bands of all time. Picking just one favorite album is insanely difficult. I would have to say that P2 is their BEST album but P4 is probably my FAVORITE album of theirs. Much love Bogdan ❤

tossup between P3 and P4 for my favorite Periphery album. I feel like they're equal in my mind. this album is a wild ride. perfectly shows the diversity they're capable of, and they definitely experimented some more on tracks like Atropos, Silhouette, and Dying Star. Everything Is Fine is absolutely pummeling, gives me Car Bomb vibes. outro could've cut down on the ambience at the end just a little bit (4 out of 11 minutes was a bit much) but I don't have any problems really. I also cried to Wax Wings by the way, haha. fucking beautiful track that is.

I’m still getting into all of Periphery’s discography but so far the album I love the most songs from is P2!! I’m already loving PV I’m sure it’ll only get better with subsequent listens

Everything is Fine is the one I keep going back to. So good.

Wax Wings was my favorite song on my first listen (still ies, probably), but Dracul Gras is the one that grew on me the most. The first time I listened to it I kinda wrote it off as some standard, albeit awesome, fantasy metal, but after 5 or 6 listens I was finally able to appreciate how ludicrously nuanced and creative and precise it is. It's just breathtaking, every element fits together flawlessly.

in the last year, i've gone from 'heartbeat haunts me' to 'paid in full, tear the hole, tear the hole inside your soul' to 'the machines are turning me' to 'drifting towards the center of serenity' as lines that have been stuck in my head and grown on me. first was in a bad bad place, second was when it felt like it wasn't over after it was over, third is when i was finally able to cry (in the shower, on walks, could cry anywhere to wax wings) and accept things have changed, and finally is recently where things are so beyond it now that i am moving to a better place entirely ! ^^

Every is fine about this album! I actually really liked silhouette but that’s because I love the 80s’s so biased but ya wax wings is euphoric. PII was the album that got me into these guys

Self-Titled, almost nothing beats when i first heard Icarus Lives on release. But my favorite song is Sentient Glow from HAIL STAN :P

@Sentienthermostat

Жыл бұрын

Same, sentient glow rips. Wax wings is now a close second for me.

Wax Wings. Holy shit.

Thrice released their album The Artist in the Ambulance twenty years ago which has song a about Icarus (The Melting Point of Wax), a song called Silhouette (which is unique sounding compared to the rest of the album) and when you listen to Dying Star the comparison get's even bigger. I'm not sure if this is coincidental, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

Driving on a back road through the trees in North Carolina with the sunsetting windows down listening to thanks nobuo is an experience I wish everyone could have

I can't choose between P2 or P3.. both were just pure gold.

Wax Wings did the exact same thing to me, insane

Heh, I think my face, feelings and everything was just alike when I was listening to this album, my first Periphery album in my life. I especially l like that glimpse at 8:23 :-) I was just torn by the Wildlife chorus and the whole Atropos song. I think they planned these bombastic changes and other stuff, very, very carefully and intentionally! :-) And I was laughing when in some reviews I read that e.g Silhouette shouldn't be there - but it is the best that we can get after Everything's fine. So Periphery does pop better than any regular pop star.

P2 for me. Got a LOT of mileage out of that one, still go back to it frequently.

yo Wax Wings got me the same way lol glad to see someone else got the same emotional feelings from it, this album is just a masterpiece

Wax Wings makes me feel emotions that I didn’t know existed. And I’m bawling my eyes out.

Periphery 5 no doubt is my fav, tho 2,3 and jug are fire.

My favourite album used to be good old hail stan but then they dropped P5 and ngl I’ve had it on loop.

Machines are turning MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Favourite Peripehry album... hmm... I gues I go with this one. I love all the albums, but here they did EVERYTHING. And I never thought that this could happen, but my favourite track from the album is Silhouette... a fucking pop song of all things. 😁

Everything Is Fine best track from the album

Can't see anything really topping this album this year, crazy good

Kind of wild how hard? I typically lean lately but P makes me a softy. Absolutely love wax wings and dying star.

Freakin' love this album. As for my fave album. Really torn between P3 and 4. Loved P3 because of Marigold and Lune being in that and P4 has a good amount of variety I love.

My stance is that every song on every album doesn't have to end up being one to listen to over and over again. A few of these songs hit more like experiences (pretentious, jesus christ) for me and the rest were nice one listens. I enjoyed it all, but it's more abstract and harder to listen to as a song. It's hard to put into words. Enjoyed the overall album, will probably only return to a few of them and that's okay. Could have left with none.

periphery is the one prog band that i never get sick of, no matter how long the songs are, they’re such a beautiful, dynamic and interesting band, where each member brings a key piece to each album. this album, spencer is the highlight for me, his soaring cleans and screams add so much and you can really tell the bigger influence he had, which is love. it may be recency bias but for me this is periphery’s best album, followed by p4 and p3, but p2 and p1 are still untouchable masterpieces in my eyes. such a perfect band.

Idk if anyone else gets this but some parts of Wax Wings reminds me of Floya

This album is honestly a 9.9/10 for me, as I have one slight with with the guitar tone lmao. Top 2 album of my life so far.

Favorite album is their self titled from 2010

Wax Wings fucked me up when I first heard it.

I love them all but I think PII is the best album for me overall

Dracul Gras at 7:55 is my favorite moment in periphery history

wax wings is the most emotional shit i've heard in a long time, i absolutely hated silhoutte (but i respect it) and everything is not fine

This was hands down album of the year.

Didn't know Djentsync and Djentstreet Bois were back when Silhouette started playing. 😁

Wax Wings is just....no words

P3 is my favorite album by them. Sure, it's the most "accessible", but I love the hell out of it. This album.. idk. On first couple listens, I was disappointed. It starts off really strong up until Silhouette (what a weird song, I don't like it lol) when the quality kinda dives. Dying Star and Dracul Gras are good, but not at the same quality as the first 4 tracks. Thanks Nobuo low key pissed me off because of how big a fan Misha is of FF7, and yet the only melodic reference to that game is a brief vocal hook. I was also hoping for a motif on this record like they did in P2, P3, and Juggernaut, but alas like P4, no motif to be had. I will however say that Atropos has everything I want in a Periphery song. It's light and airy like something off P3, it's very dynamic, and it bring in the heavy. Reptile and Stranger Things do the same for me.

P2 is my favorite. P1 and P4 tied for 2nd place. And then P5 for me so far. This album didn't have as much djent as I was expecting. And I believe that this album had the least amount of screaming since Juggernaut Alpha

The whole album is such a brutal assault on all your senses. All emotions take control and your body and mind is literally dragged along for the ride.

I think P2 will always be my fav but I love them all

Wax Wings was something else.

Fav tracks off the first listen?

How do you even pick a favorite?

p3 is defo my fav by them.

I like them all but whenever I'm introducing someone to Periphery I show them Select Difficulty. Short, sweet, heavy and chill

I was gonna say hail Stan was my fave, I just vibe with it so fucking hard

Bro your skin is majestic

p3 used to be my fav but as i grew older its def p2

Juggernaut will always be their magnum opus to me. It’s more restrained, but it showcases the songwriting and how great they are at pacing records. This album is right there behind it, what a triumph! And yes, I too welled up listening to the end of Wax Wings for the first time!

You cut Wax Wings so much on good parts, bummer lol. That "I said so long (so long) to SANITY" is so good.

The last two minutes of Dying Star are going to make one helluva sing-along if they play it live.

Periphery doesn’t have key changes. They have genre changes.

This is behind P4, P3 and Juggernaut for me. The peaks are VERY high here, but the endless chugging, as much of a requirement it may be for the band, seemed to be the main focus, but the song writing as whole was never tight enough for me. You get so many crazy technical and heavy moments, but they didn't translate into anything memorable as often as they did in P4. The album grew on me for sure. Still great.

Juggernaut, love this album too

I like bits but this one is gonna take a few listens for me purely because of the song lengths. Love the experimentation on it. Some parts even remind me of their debut with mathcore parts P3 is my fav album still
