Spencer's melodies on this record are out of this world. He makes some really strange choices when it comes to harmonies, both against his own voice and the rest of the band. And his melodies are all over the place. I love it.

[@Nestorglass]

his melodies have always been special, songs that used to be just instrumentals like scarlet or sentient glow just ascended with spencer's vocals.

[@yokisullivan8647]

"strange"? just say he can't write catchy vocal melodies except It's Only Smiles.

[@joshp8857]

I don't understand why this album isn't more popular. It has incredible variety, all the parts are complex and amazing, and it's easy to tell how much love went into making it. I love every song on the album, I can't say that for anything past Periphery II. This time, it's personal!

[@maxalaintwo3578]

Originally that clean part was part of a Bulb track called Juggernaut Pt 2. Misha had long conceived of a Juggernaut concept album since the beginning and that track was going to be part of the original lineup

[@novavirus7497]

It's super weird going from their newer stuff to their first album, sounds like a completely different band almost

[@jaydenjbryant8665]

True. I actually don’t really like this album but everything Periphery 2 and onwards is a masterpiece

[@novavirus7497]

I agree, but this album definitely has some good songs on it

[@maxalaintwo3578]

Cuz Misha wrote everything back then

[@dilbophagginz]

Mark and Spencer's creative input had a huge effect on the overall sound of the band after P1

[@newaccount12341]

Thanks, I'm familiar with Djent but this band has a bunch of different sounds, so I didn't know if they were multiple different genres. Thanks, Again.

[@MrJakeShirley]

Guys for real, Misha was the first to use the term "Djent" and everybody hates it. Honestly if Misha wants I call what he plays Djent, that's fine. Most people dislike it because it is PROGRESSIVE. And everybody hates the new kid, especially if they are a threat. This is musicality in its best, and I thank Periphery for making real music by musicians who actually care about the stuff they play.

[@SaltpeterTaffy]

ey look, we got a mindreader here! lookit him reading minds!

[@progon1135]

I actually really like misha

[@MrJakeShirley]

@@progon1135 holy shit I made this comment when I was 16 years old lmao. Good to see it still makes the rounds

[@Zool2107]

@@MrJakeShirley only part you were wrong is this: "This is musicality in its best". Forced dissonance all the time for the only sake of being differnet and artsy, and pushing all the guitar technics one learnt into every song form start to finsih without break is not that I would call musicality in it's best. Sometimes (most of the times) less is more.

[@MrJakeShirley]

@@Zool2107 I made this comment 8 years ago, and I stand by it in a lot of ways. I believe Misha is probably the least technical player in his band, and least technical out of his peers. He is often viewed as a song writer, a composer. His musicality is dissonant and they’ve gone on to rule an entire genre of music for over a decade now. Less can be more and I think misha conveys that by not being all technicality all the time

[@coveryourears3851]

I like the Nolly bass tone too but its refreshing how the bass gels into the background during both bridge parts while still being nasty. Props especially if he recorded it w fingerstyle

[@martykowal]

omg i love the bridge

[@ThatKiDwiththeDrums]

I call it djent but people say its not a genre, technically it's progressive metal, I dont think thats very specific though since this and dream theater, for example, dont sound like.

[@dannyle_chu]

Dream Theater is more Progressive Rock. But hey, I think labels are pretty limiting.

[@christopherhickman2764]

lol rather call it djent then post-progressive metalcore...

[@gothcow1]

I never got why people say “Oh Djent isn’t a genre, it’s just an onomatopoeia” but they are ok with Hair and Glam Metal being a thing, which has nothing to do with the music, and only the way the musicians dress.

[@urboi2252]

Yeah but KSE and Alexandria are apparently the same genre so

[@danieldasavage9294]

[@nebxla3590]

3:33 best part😍

[@f.b.1311]

I like the places they went with IV and V, but this album is just so different, the harmonic language is much more nuanced and the songs are terrifyingly complex. You can tell years of work went into this masterpiece, I just wish they had the chance to work in a simmilar project with as much time as they needed for this and a simmilar vibe in terms of harmonic changes.

[@combatwombatt]

2:20 when the drums kick in... from a drummers point of view... that seems technical as fuck holy shit

[@thezestychunk5575]

[@ihuntfortheleak1334]

LOL WOW I think they did a massive plummet on those two albums from the quality of the debut but it's just personal opinion here just like how your opinion changed. The only songs on those 2 (or 3 I guess) releases that compare to Racecar for me are Froggin Bullfish and the title track of Omega.

[@ihuntfortheleak1334]

[@ganondorfchampin]

Why do so many Periphery songs have comical names?

[@kevinpopescu9741]

because the group formed thanks to the internet and being dumb and witty at the same time is what the internet people do

[@kevinpopescu9741]

ganondorfchampin Misha probably thought it was very clever when he came up with it.

[@BenjaminKuruga]

Misha literally named the songs by the first thing he was thinking of when he wrote the riff/song. The lyrics on many of these songs have nothing to do with the title because Spencer wrote them.
