Vocals are on point. When vocals sound this good completely dry, you've got a great vocalist.

[@adamdam]

I'm so impressed, sometimes I've struggled to get fully into Periphery due to the more high pitch emo tone of his voice but this performance and the one of Reptile is beyond astonishing, what an amazing vocalist.

[@XBBBBBXx]

@@adamdam this is the best recording of spencers voice that is out there

[@ClihtYeastwood]

@@adamdamI completely agree. He’s a bit too ‘ponk’ (punk-pop) sometimes but there’s no denying he’s a major talent. He’s a slightly more emo-metal version of Chester Bennington… sometimes.

[@enricolupi2112]

Apparently xD

And not any V neck the V neck showing your body down to your bellybutton. It gives +10 Agility and speed, so i'm surprised he managed to play without it.

[@thomasbake]

I think I've never seen such a versatile singer as Spencer. He just nails everything!!

[@iliffavenuebrewhouse6496]

Spencer's vocal are great but they need some more reverb or something. They sound too dry compared to the music during the clean sections. Also, probably time to add a full time bassist...

[@flowcrastinator]

Psh those vocals needs more than reverb to sound good 😫

[@iliffavenuebrewhouse6496]

@@flowcrastinator ok buddy

[@timmyb8694]

I'm sure he coulda dressed his voice up all nice n pretty like everyone else usually does... But it doesnt sound like he did... Yea ,maybe a lil more verb n a touch of delay...but don't dilute it completely...

[@NOKnova]

They’re not adding a full time bassist unless it’s Nolly, and he’s unlikely to return fulltime. They discussed why in the P4 documentary. Essentially they feel like it won’t be Periphery if it’s not Nolly’s performance. Pretty sure he’s one of the original members after all.

[@FlyingMugen]

@@NOKnova Nolly joined during P2, after Tom Murphy left. But I believe that is the sentiment they share, that if its not Nolly, its nobody.
