I for the life of me can’t understand people not liking Spencer’s vocals. He is the difference maker in this band, do we really need yet another technically impressive band with the same vocals as everyone else? There are very few if any other vocalists that can do what he can. They are a progressive metal band that from day one never worried about fitting in a simple box. Don’t be so afraid to open your horizons a bit!
It took me a solid year to start liking his vocals. I think they might just be a little too theatrical for some people. He tends to over-emphasize his vocals, which is an acquired taste I think.
i struggle to find vocalists as capable of making melodic phrases sound as good as spencer. recently been liking lukas magyar from veil of maya and jesse cash's cleans from erra but thats about it. also spencers multitracks are fuckin nuts like the one at 12.05 in this song and on the chorus of absolomb to name a few
My biggest problem with Spencer is his inability to follow through with his studio preformence live. Only other thing is some of the melodies he comes up w I just can't get behind.
@@bbqpickle4033 What are you talking about? Their live rendition of THIS FUCKING SONG even, is damn near perfect next to the studio version.
Couldn't agree more and he also allows them to branch out because he can sing literally anything
Reptile is a masterpiece!
hell yeah
A-fuckn-greed
agreed
Nothing truer has ever been said
“It felt forced to sixteen minutes” is a weird way to spell “I can’t write anything decent longer than four minutes.”
It's what anyone who doesn't really like prog says.
There are so many intricacies and nuances that are 100% overlooked unless you’ve listened to them a while. They use motifs out the wazoo, often put electronic interludes after songs, and create lyrical themes. It’s so much to digest that Periphery is hands down the hardest band to get into...
But once you do, it’s a blissful world of unique, creative chaos. These guys truly are some of the greatest musicians and artists of our time and their talent is greatly ignored due to the unique and unorthodox style of their music.
This though.. You just summed up Periphery perfectly.. Love it
Took me forever to get into Periphery. I knew about them for years but never listened to them seriously. Heard stranger things and that did it for me. Iv'e went back to their debut album and I enjoy everything they have done since. Definitely my favorite band..
I HATED Periphery for a while (especially Spencer's vocals), when I heard a couple of tracks from the Juggernauts something clicked and almost overnight went from hating them to them being my favourite band (AMAZING live).
took me a while to notice that on p3 there were multiple songs with the same theme played on a different instrument after the 'song' part was finished
The song is a masterpiece. It took me awhile to get into Spencer’s vocals as well but his stuff fits with the music. He’s supremely talented with range and I love his vocals now! He’s also one of the nicest dudes ever! This song does have lots of structure but it’s built around themes and flushing the variations out. The song is quite obviously telling a story with all the lyrics and time. The layering with multiple guitar tracks and symphony is incredible!
I started with Periphery the same way - I hated Spencer's vocals at first. Sometime around P3 coming out the whole thing just flipped in my head and he's one of my favorite parts of the band.
I can even go back to the older albums now and love them. You might find their heavier songs to be a better entry way into their music - like "The Bad Thing", "Blood Eagle", "CHVRCH BVRNER" and "Make Total Destroy".
I started on P1 and felt exactly the same but then i heard his screaming vocals on masamune and I was sold aha now he's like one of my favourite vocalists
This was pretty much how it happened for me except it took me longer.. it took hearing “Blood Eagle” to finally realize how much I like his vocals lol
His vocals on Satellites just blew me away. I didn't like his vocals at first either but they really fit for me now..
mans on the left was trying to think of every possible reason to hate this song
People either love or hate Spencer's vocals. There is no in between lol
Padraig Murphy I always think he sound like chester from Linkin Park
21:53 either this guy just *wants* to hate Spencer, or he genuinely feels this way. Honestly hard to tell. The comment about it being “forced” - It’d be interesting to hear the reasoning behind that
Dude i would kill to be able to come up with vocals like Spencer's... the guy is a genius. Maybe he jelly?
Some people like a very narrow range - Spencer has a wide range, so it won't appeal to everyone - eh, it is what it is.
This is absurd. Spencer is incredibly talented. I think you dont like prog metal
It's like listening to Dark Side of the Moon with your great grandparents.
I loved Periphery the second I heard them
This is the best 16 minute and 44 seconds long song I’ve ever heard
Spencer gave me my first shot on my 21st bday at the periphery concert I went to. But this song is my favorite out of all of them because it has everything I want in a song pretty much.
Periphery and Dance gavin dance both have those whinney cleans that I normally hate, but somehow they do it for me. Amazing guitar tone. Like amongst the best. Those riffs are insane. I've listened to this track about a dozen times and love it
So good boys.
Also check out Veil Of Maya - Outsider
The spoken word part was actually the vocalist from Sikth
I used to follow Misha over on Soundclick and the Line6 forums before Periphery was even a thing. If I remember correctly, it took him around 3 years to find the musicians that could pull off the stuff he was wanting to do at the time. There were different vocalists, a bassist, and another drummer, Travis Orbin. Misha's soundcloud had so much free interesting music. Anyway, I believe that Misha credits Meshugga with creating the Djent sound. Misha wont take credit for it but he is largely responsible for it's rise in popularity. Therefore he is often referred to as the grandfather of Djent. At least that is my perspective. Others may know far more than me.
Glad you guys reacted to the song and I respect your opinions! I’m a huge Periphery fan boy haha so I adore this song. Misha actually said the song was around 8 minutes when they wrote it, but he felt the song had more to say so the song turned out to be 16 minutes long lol. It’s funny cause he also said he generally doesn’t like writing long songs. The breakdown heard around 10 minutes is also from a song he wrote over 10 years ago which is really cool. Looking forward to the Blood Eagle reaction!
Mark Holcomb talked about Reptile in one of their clinics as well and said the same thing that it was shorter, but they needed to make it longer. Such a beautiful song 😍
This song is a great way to spend half your day. :)
I have to cancel all my plans whenever I wanna listen to Reptile.
yo check out blood eagle from them, its dirty
This song made me a Periphery fan
Same, but I was slow to embrace cleans in general. Couldn't hear Periphery until Veil of Maya changed up.
Dude on the left wanted to hate it so bad lol
Thanks for being troopers and listening to the long song. Us Prog fans love these songs, and yes the song structure is not normal for these songs. They are one of my favorite bands and are awesome live. I like Spencer's vocals, he has ability to do so many things, but everyone likes different things. I hope to see them play this song live sometime...hopefully concerts can start again sometime.
One of my favorite songs. Seeing it live was unreal! Especially that guitar solo!
Always reminded me of Protest the Hero. Epic stuff!
I still find it wild that Spencer said that Rody Walker was a major influence on his vocals.
There was a huge amount of Rody influence in P2
@@moatfloater The first time i ever heard periphery it immediately reminded me of Rody
I’d be curious what you would think of their song The Bad Thing. They have a music video for it to with studio audio but shot at a show which adds to getting into it. I think if your into metal but haven’t found a lot of songs to get into, that in my opinion is the best one. Great guitar riffs, heavy, great solo, cool breakdowns, and it’s one of my favorite choruses from Spencer. If you haven’t heard it yet I’d be curious to see your reaction.
Sikth created djent. And the singer is in this song.
You guys should seriously react to Oceans Ate Alaska - Escapist when you finish going through the pre-save requests!
The thing about this song on its own is it is used to set up a lot of themes on the record. both lyrically and musically. Also to answer your question i don't think Perirphery was the first Djent band. pretty sure that would be meshuggah even if they dont call themselves that. But Mark from periphery did coin the term if i understand correctly.
As a huge AtB fan i can say i think they would be proud of this song if they made it
Spencer and Matt are my favorite parts of periphery. I didn't care for spencer at first but when the EP Clear came out and then Juggernaut I fell in love. He has one of the best ranges for any metal vocalists alove right now and can sing in crazy variations.
I totally understand what you’re saying about Spencer’s vocals. As a death metal guy, took me a little bit to get past what I thought sounded a little “Incubus-y”. In his singing. I’m a fan now, and reptile is a goddamn masterpiece.
This and Omega might be my favourite Periphery songs. There's something about their longer epic assaults 🤔🤘 The musicianship is breathtaking
You guys should check out "Luck as a constant" by periphery. Reptile is great but I can see how if you're not really into periphery it's a little much
This was my favorite album of 2019
Can't believe this is the Periphery song that was chosen. I love it, but that's gonna be a long reaction lol. Would choose The Bad Thing instead.
I did see bloodeagle on this list. That track is full on energy.
Adam, try to listen to Zyglrox
It is from their first album, sounds much different.
If you liked alfa & omega by Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza then maybe this will be your pick.
his vocals will grow on you, they're not like this in all their songs. I thought the cleans were cheesy in this one at first too, but I came to love them. It gives it character.
😍😍😍😍😍😍
this song actually grows a lot on you after a couple of listenes, and it requires some digging into lyrical concept
As a long time fan of periphery, I totally understand having a hard time getting into them. It took me FOREVER to get in to them. I actually heavily disliked them for awhile. I'm not sure when or where it clicked but it seems like a pretty general consensus
Briarhaven it was juggernaut when it “clicked” for me, specifically The Bad Thing. Was introduced to them in 2012 and hated it lol now they’re my favorite band by far, met them a few times, had lessons with some of them, and seen them on numerous occasions. Superb djentlemen
While I do like periphery, I definitely understand how someone wouldn’t like them because of the vocals. Spencer is very similar to rody from pth or the singer from ice nine kills
Check out the song Blood Eagle guys.
Most definitely Stranger Things outro!
misha is in fact the creator of the term Djent
Adam left out my boy Jake also on guitar.
Great video guys
Love Periphery, what about a tool reaction?. The grudge anyone?
You guys should really do Stranger things-Periphery or P1
Djent masterpiece
It's actually the first time i listen to Periphery. I have to say that in no way i find that the singer is the "first obstacle" to appreciate this song. I don't know why many people seems to find it is; strange. What i thought initially instead is that to attempt and really succeed in making a 18 minutes song the level of variation have to be more spread out and not making it on 5 minutes sections. Because this way you're gonna make the listener crave for the "next part" way too soon. In this regard i think that the second half of the song is way juicier than the first because it was a more fluid musical journey to me. All things considered I liked the song.
I understand what he's saying about the vocals it took me a really long time to like them. At first it was just cringing me out.
I mean he's a good vocalist but the vocals have such a poppish feel to it I just couldn't.
But I stayed for the great riffs and eventually got used to it.
"The vocals man it makes it sound cheesey"
They're doing a hair metal riff. How is it not cheesey to begin wirh
Beautiful vocalist. Some metalheads have are hard time listening to singing
Great voice, all insanely talented guys!
You're wrong
Didn't mean to post a comment, but you told me to
What a horrible review, why did I even watch past the groove less bottom left fellow. He probably listens to dragon force non stop.
I am a fan of periphery and I can agree with you the 16 mins were forced I feel like it would be a great 8-10 min song with some parts cut
You probably just dont like Djent or Prog.
There's just something about long songs that makes me want to skip through them. I'd be better off knowing that it was an EP uploaded into one video and in between songs there was a pause. But knowing this is a long freaking song. I immediately get bored.
Dont think i have ever skipped through this song. Guess it just depends on your attention span.
I agree with Adam. Instrumentals are awesome I think, but the singer is just not my style. I've tried to listen to a lot of their songs. No offense to people that like them. Everyone has their own opinions. Keep doing you
I’ve tried to get into Periphery. Can never seem to get passed the “over dramatic” style of the clean vocals. They come off very over-the-top to me. The excessive vibrato and almost hair-metal-esque phrasing turns me off.
While I love Periphery, this perticular album didn't hit me at all. Can't say why. So personally I'm not surprised you didn't get blown away.
Antelano this is my favorite album of 2019
