I think on this album, the only way anybody could complain about his vocals is MAYBE on Catch Fire, because Spencer really shines there and some people simply don't like when he gets all poppy sounding. I still love him lol.
The vocals on this song are perfect because it's how he sung on p2 but with the juggernaut stuff and some parts on this album the vocals don't sound right. Like sometimes he puts so much emphasis on the words his singing whereas this just feels natural
The people that don't like spencer are people who have no ear for singing and no musical tone themselves. Which is why they prefer screaming. Spencer is one of the best vocalists(if not the best in terms of range) in the industry today. Haters will hate.
Hahahahaha I can't think of a better possible answer to a youtube comment like this than to have the man himself answer it! Rock on Misha, you're fucking awesome!
This and Reptile are their best in my opinion, however I do think reptile edges this out because of the amazing key changes halfway through and the sheer variety of the guitar work.
When you have a favorite band, it's not just because they are cool or have a great music. It's because when you listen to them, you feel like you finally find someone that can understand you. You feel like you have a friend. It chills you. It brings tears to your eyes everytime you listen to their songs. Thank you Misha, Jake, Matt, Spencer, Mark, Nolly.
Misha's spoken about disliking writing solos, but his solos are always so perfect to me because they scratch an itch I didn't know I had. Does that make sense? They're exactly what I want to hear - not what I'm expecting. And this solo is no exception. The right amount of yazz and mmmmfffffff.......
I just found out today that Spencer Sotelo of Periphery is the same Spencer Sotelo i hung out with over half a dozen years ago at a local waterpark in my city. I had no idea he was the singer of Periphery. My mind was blown as soon as i found out. I'm glad im able to call him a friend.
You can hardly call him a "friend" after spending time at a waterpark. You were clearly in a group and ge was there. You didn't even know who he was. The biggest thing in his life is his music career and you didn't even know that. That's hardly a friend
For anyone who cares to read: I'm sure peripherys lyrics have a specific meaning for the ones who wrote them or one whatever, but the way they are written most the time is very open for interpretation.. and we all grasp at song meanings to fit our plot but for me these lyrics resonate with losing yourself 2:35 - 2:51 especially then followed by the "will we meet again" line.. "I'll be waiting, beyond the edge forever-frozen now time stops again" "revelation" even the solo plays into the theme. This band has changed the core of who I am over the years I remember in high-school hearing the line from jetpacks off p1 I think it was? "In a world of infinity sewn, percieve beyond the seam" that shit rocked my world and I'm ever thankful for it. This is what music was meant to evolve into, passion and raw emotion used to express thought provoking ideals vibrating their way to your core. Not memes, not malevolence but the "human spirit" transcribed into frequency
+Mitch ZImmerman That's on an episode of bus invaders. 100% certain his diet consists only of cheese and crackers, be it independently or at the same time.
so many bands these days leading the charge on some of the coolest music ever. You, Periphery are leading the charge and making me feel useless as a musician more with every album.
5:07 is so amazing. The switch back and forth between C minor and major creates a state of constant tension. Beautiful. I am so glad of the way this album turned out. This song is one of the best---right behind Motormouth
No fucking words for this. I literally got tears streaming down my face over that 'if only I could rescue you' part. it's SO gut wrenchingly beautiful. I feel like I got fucking smashed by a train of feels. Damn, I wish Spencer would do more of this soaring, less hooky P1 sort of melodic singing because I feel like his voice is made for it. So much better than his usual poppy singing style IMO. I'm so blown away right now.
It’s sad when you know about absolomb with was king David’s son that he couldn’t save ....the Bible is such a magnificent source of tragic and empowering human stories it’s why every-truly successful person lists the Bible as top 3 books to read to also be successful
Misha put out over 100 instrumental demos on Soundclick before P1 was even released. A bunch of these ended up on their first album, and each album since then has also featured extended versions of some of those old demos with new vocals added on top, such as Make Total Destroy, Have a Blast, Froggin Bullfish, MK Ultra, Motormouth, and this.
Cody Lujan The man has a voice like no other. Unquestionably my favorite vocalist. The riffs are sick on this album but I find myself playing every song on repeat just for certain Spencer parts that take my breath away.
Those string synths at 4:35 are just magical... it gives a certain feel that even if you're not too sure what the song is about, you just know it's got so much meaning, and songs that do that are just stunning, and make me want to find more like that
Why is this outro such an explosion of great memories, of times i was happy, of times of when i felt serenity and glory and just happy to be alive? It's like a film in my mind of all great memories and just makes me calmer. You can truly feel the sense of glory. I feel like Periphery should just make a side project of just ambient tracks, they are so good at it.
This is honestly one of the best songs I have ever heard. The atmosphere, the groove and the end... the end is just the best. Every time I listen to this, I get the chills. Just thanks for making this
The elemental theme you guys use to close your songs on this album really ties everything together nicely. You don't hear a lot of albums like that anymore, absolutely beautiful!
I cant help but to feel that Spencer is really aware of the gift and power that has been given to him and realizes what must be done! An energy radiates outward deep within his words i feel the heart of A man realizing im just a man.... everyone must question the view we each decided to see life from. Question ourselves even if that question is" Did i love her at all? Im not so sure cause i dontt see a difference. Was it love at all?"" Question our actions and truly ask if they make sense at all.....
Really great music! Got to know Periphery only a few days ago and i have to confess: I really missed out on that kind of music. Fantastic album. This song and "Lune" are two of the best progressives songs i`ve ever heard. Looking forward to P IV...
the orchestral outro was so powerful that I couldnt keep myself from crying. thank you periphery you guys are amazing and i love everything you guys make. you know exactly how to grip a persons heart with the essence of music
They almost totally ditched their electronic glitchy stuff and quantized noise-gated chugging, that's what was different about this whole album. I just noticed a couple days ago. It's a very organic sound palette.
The orchestral elements are so awesome. My favorite band RED uses orchestrals behind their music so they're always welcomed by me when done well. and they're done well.
Brandon I thought that, but the vibrato on the very last note says misha to me. I could well be wrong though and you could be right. They'll have trouble pulling it off live if that's the case.
My favorite thing about this CD is the vocals aren't as all over the place as they were in the past (from what I can hear). I feel like it's been a bit tamed, to help fit with the rest of the band. I mean being experimental with vocals every once in a while is cool, but I like that they seemed to have just focused on the overall groove for this album. In short, I fucking love this album!!!!!
If you dig through Misha's Instagram, you'll see spencer doing a slow siren and he hits the Ab above this yet. Haven't heard him go higher than that yet
This song is really well placed in the album. It really is like a mad warm/cool down for the epicness of Select Difficulty. Well done Perphery.... its so fking great!
5:08 onwards is a stroke of genius. It's like going through a spiritual experience. Absolomb is definitely the best song I've heard from Periphery yet.
That fucking solo. Misha, If im honest your music would not be the first choice in my car. but in a near dark room on a pair of good speakers while alone, where i can concentrate. yes. Im supposed to be working but that stopped me mid thought.
oh believe me, this music is a perfect choice in a car. middle of a night, empty highway, you and your V8... or, more realistically, noon, jams, you and Renault Clio. both ways, Periphery wins.

This song is such a tease. The opening bass gets you ready for heavy shit and they don't give you what you expect, they give you something better.
uhhhhh.. did you not read the last couple words?
@@nothinglefttolove lmfao you missed the point of the comment so hard

Or this one...
@@dazeg7152 if they like other heavy bands then probably Atropos and Zagreus will convert them
this is literally what got me into periphery
@@funnyperson4027 for me was Scarlet
I was a Periphery virgin until 10 mins ago and I completely agree as well
I'll never understand why so many people take issue with Spencer's singing, his vocals are perfect for Periphery.
I love his vocals like 90% of the time but they sound just a little whiney at some parts. but everything else is so good I just look past it
I think on this album, the only way anybody could complain about his vocals is MAYBE on Catch Fire, because Spencer really shines there and some people simply don't like when he gets all poppy sounding. I still love him lol.

Completely agree, Spencer's vocal range is so dynamic and even if you hate him the instrumentals more than make up for it in spades
The new album is out tomorrow!
Yassss😇
Thank you for completing my life with your incredible music!!
That solo was fucking ridiculous dude counting the mins until tomorrow 😂
I can't wait that long!
This album is freaking amazing so far.
Poor man have to nail that solo every concert. Good f'ing luck! One of the best songs on the album!
Yeah...that's going to keep me on my toes...
+Misha Mansoor bulb u are a hero
I love that you reply to people in the comments. It's cool to see a band being involved with their fanbase.
+MarkToast surprising he has time to do so
Hahahahaha I can't think of a better possible answer to a youtube comment like this than to have the man himself answer it! Rock on Misha, you're fucking awesome!
the ending, spencer’s vocals, misha’s solo, nolly’s bass tone, matt’s drumming...
this is periphery’s best song. no one will ever change my mind.
Been listening to this song for a week. It's beautiful.
it's my favourite periphery song ever by a mile. best, i don't know, i guess they have matured since this
This and Reptile are their best in my opinion, however I do think reptile edges this out because of the amazing key changes halfway through and the sheer variety of the guitar work.
AGREE Racecar is number two now.
I wouldn’t say it’s their best but it is one of the best

You should try to contact him, that would be neat to know for sure.
That's super rad lol
Picturing him in swim trunks screaming at the top of his lungs from the top of a waterslide, brb 😆😂🤣🤣
You can hardly call him a "friend" after spending time at a waterpark. You were clearly in a group and ge was there. You didn't even know who he was. The biggest thing in his life is his music career and you didn't even know that. That's hardly a friend
I have a strong feeling he doesn't remember you.

so many bands these days leading the charge on some of the coolest music ever. You, Periphery are leading the charge and making me feel useless as a musician more with every album.
That Spencer moment @4:19 is proly my favourite vocal moment in this album
That bass at the start is incredible!
The delivery of the last line killed me.
The orchestrated outro brought me back to life.
Could not have said it any better
I can't explain how much i love that outro.
@@Immolator772 Its outro is the chorus of Lune, connecting the two songs.
5:07 is so amazing. The switch back and forth between C minor and major creates a state of constant tension. Beautiful.
I am so glad of the way this album turned out. This song is one of the best---right behind Motormouth
I was just going to type this
Motormouth isn’t even close to as good as this song
It sounds like an armored bat-hybrid of Satan is coming to kill Earth
It is more of a csus4 back to c then cmaj7 to Cmin
That tasty guitar lick at 3:40 just hit the spot! I haven't been very impressed with any bands lately, but Periphery turned it around for me. Yes!
1:33 i can feel my chest bursting and my brain expanding. such an epic transition.
this legendary introduction of bass for an epic track...
No fucking words for this. I literally got tears streaming down my face over that 'if only I could rescue you' part. it's SO gut wrenchingly beautiful. I feel like I got fucking smashed by a train of feels. Damn, I wish Spencer would do more of this soaring, less hooky P1 sort of melodic singing because I feel like his voice is made for it. So much better than his usual poppy singing style IMO. I'm so blown away right now.

The part that always fucks me up is "do you care at all, I don't see a difference".
This band is comprised of musical masterminds. To anyone who loves this music as I - you have impeccable taste.
A P1 era song on P3 that sounds like something from P2
Beautiful isn't it?
What does that mean? Everyone keeps talking about old Misha riffs and old Misha songs. I confused.
+Longrod Von Hugendong This song was made around or before the creation of the first album by Misha as a demo.
Misha put out over 100 instrumental demos on Soundclick before P1 was even released. A bunch of these ended up on their first album, and each album since then has also featured extended versions of some of those old demos with new vocals added on top, such as Make Total Destroy, Have a Blast, Froggin Bullfish, MK Ultra, Motormouth, and this.

Absolutely love everything about this band.
That moment that starts at 5:05 into those harmonics...oh my god. Best part of the whole song.
Been going through Periphery's entire discography. Can say I'm pleased!
I wish I could experience it for the first time again.
Those orchestral parts in this album sounds EPIC
Really great music! Got to know Periphery only a few days ago and i have to confess: I really missed out on that kind of music. Fantastic album. This song and "Lune" are two of the best progressives songs i`ve ever heard.
Looking forward to P IV...
Soooooo literally everything about this song is perfect
This is an incredible track, transitions, musicianship and vocals are fantastic. Best new song I’ve heard in years
I hope Mansoor never leaves.
The orchestrial outro is amazing. Im so glad its part of the Lune. As well as The Way The News Goes...
Sometimes I only listen to Periphery for their outtros.
Theyre beautiful. Thankyou for writing the music you do.
the orchestral outro was so powerful that I couldnt keep myself from crying. thank you periphery you guys are amazing and i love everything you guys make. you know exactly how to grip a persons heart with the essence of music
This album would be aptly named as Periphery III: this time it's orchestral!
I'd like their next one to be called this time it's business
They almost totally ditched their electronic glitchy stuff and quantized noise-gated chugging, that's what was different about this whole album. I just noticed a couple days ago. It's a very organic sound palette.
I was in a 5 Year relationship where this song literally was written for.... makes me cry everytime i listen to it, Thank you Periphery
The orchestral elements are so awesome. My favorite band RED uses orchestrals behind their music so they're always welcomed by me when done well. and they're done well.
Spencer's vocals used to annoy me but they are growing on me he kicks ass \m/
This song is so underrated. It needs to be on a set list. Btw, great show in Denver last week.
That vibrato, Gotta be Misha. God damn incredible chops and phrasing, your lead playing has blown up sir.
Nah probably molly
Nolly*
Brandon I thought that, but the vibrato on the very last note says misha to me. I could well be wrong though and you could be right. They'll have trouble pulling it off live if that's the case.
Tis mine, thanks dudes, I have been working on it, but this solo is going to be equal parts fun and challenging to play live in the moment haha!
Misha Mansoor Thx Misha, nice one stepping up to play it live, respect.
My favorite fadeout of all time by my favorite band. As usual, a masterpiece.
I've never wanted to call a song "cute" or "adorable" before, but I can feel myself blushing when I listen to this.
Victor T wtf victor
Notice all the outros for this album, absolute perfection...
One of the best songs ever written.
Rick Beato brought me here...
Welcome to my favorite band, and also favorite song.
Me too !
Me three! What a band...
His video gave me a new appreciation for this track. Rick is fucking great.
Same!
This has jetpacks and Light vibes for sure. This entire album is like a mature version of their Self-titled, fucking love it!
Fun fact, Spencer pushed for this track to become a Periphery song because it had a strong P1 vibe
One of the best songs I've heard in the past decade. Simply amazing. Gets even better with every listen.
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE I WAS BORN
My favorite thing about this CD is the vocals aren't as all over the place as they were in the past (from what I can hear). I feel like it's been a bit tamed, to help fit with the rest of the band. I mean being experimental with vocals every once in a while is cool, but I like that they seemed to have just focused on the overall groove for this album. In short, I fucking love this album!!!!!
Yea, the vocals where nailed completely on this whole album
It's official: this song features Spencer's highest sung note on official tracks - G4 (1/2 step higher than F#4 in Ragnarok) at 4:20 exactly.
If you dig through Misha's Instagram, you'll see spencer doing a slow siren and he hits the Ab above this yet. Haven't heard him go higher than that yet
+Jonny Glessner what's a siren
Jonny Glessner yes, I've seen that video and that's why I wrote "on official tracks" :)
You mean 5 not 4?
Ryan GERMANHEAD I can't be absolutely sure. I'm from Russia and here we call the octaves differently :)
My favorite song out of any album, or band.
That piano outro reminds of TLOZ Twilight Princess at the sacred realm. Nice and smooth!
omg yess
It actually reminds me of Kingdom Hearts
mee too, its 3 of the same chords in the same range, in the same voicing, i liked the more melodic context in the outro
Best album yet. Cannot stop listening. So much feel.
Still my favorite Periphery song. This whole album is just wonderful
Good lord that bass tone, that singing, that solo......
This song is totally ABSOLutely amazing. Wow.
they really outdid themselves with this album. every song is an eargasm. great job guys \m/
This song is really well placed in the album. It really is like a mad warm/cool down for the epicness of Select Difficulty. Well done Perphery.... its so fking great!
Lansys Channel also reminds me of destiny lol
This is the most audible bass will ever be in a periphery song and I'm fine with that.
Misha is throwing his old stuff in the mix, I'm waiting for some remastered heavy as shit face melting strizzwald lmao
5:08 onwards is a stroke of genius. It's like going through a spiritual experience. Absolomb is definitely the best song I've heard from Periphery yet.
How can people not like this?!
select Difficulty!!
GOD MODE chosen!!!
you guys are killing it
one of my favorite periphery songs so far
That ending is absolutely phenomenal!
I cried at the solo.
I love how all of these tracks are like at least 6 minutes long. May be my favorite album so far, amazing stuff guys
That bass is so damn satisfying to listen too
3:41 this second part of the solo gave me chills... ugh! So zesty!!!
What kind of progression is that? Like the jazzish part.
WITHOUT YOUUUUR LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE - this gave me goosebumps!
I bought the producer pack of this album and the isolated vocals for almost every song give me chills. It's insane.
this bass intro is just iconic
Dat "power overwhelming" moment after Spencer screams the last line.
i got goosebump at! "behind the wall of hate inside your mind"...
That fucking solo. Misha, If im honest your music would not be the first choice in my car. but in a near dark room on a pair of good speakers while alone, where i can concentrate. yes.
Im supposed to be working but that stopped me mid thought.
oh believe me, this music is a perfect choice in a car. middle of a night, empty highway, you and your V8... or, more realistically, noon, jams, you and Renault Clio. both ways, Periphery wins.
That first solo makes me wanna cry, it's so fucking beautiful.
So much variety on this album. Great job guys.
That solo is amazing! You've outdone yourself on this one Misha.
Such a beautiful, heartwarming outro. :)
It's the same melody altered. I think I've heard it in P2 and now it's featured in a few P3 songs.
Kinda reminds me of the chorus of Froggin' Bullfish.
It's the Lune theme, it's at the end of The Way The News Goes, and it's kinda the "epic" part of lune. This is foreshadowing.
+m4ssee just sang the FBF chorus to this outro and you were totally right fam
The vocals in this track, especially that run at 1:56, throws me back to the vocals of Jetpacks Was Yes! and I love it
