Still to this day I return to listen to the album that completely changed my life. These songs got me through very tough times. And continue to spark something deep within my being that gives me clarity when I need it the most. Thank you Periphery for this gift.
I remember sitting in my bed on a Saturday morning with my shitty HP laptop that barely ran, browsing RUclips and just randomly clicking on this. My 8th grade mind was blownnnnnnnnnn. This album got me into this genre and has helped my drumming grow and be what it is today. The nostalgia is real.

This is most definitely one album that can be played from start to finish without skipping a single second! I still listen to this like it came out today! I hoping for a ten year anniversary tour for this masterpiece
This album is a masterpiece. I've been listening to it for three years and its been sending me to another world every time. Its incredible how in depth it makes me think. Genius.
I didn't get my hands on this band untill the p4 release. I listened to animals as leaders and had no idea who Misha was. Needless to say I'm inspired and utterly floored. This band is unbelievable.
+BT Studio Productions Absolutely agree. That solo is definitely one of the high points of musical achievement in the history of ears. Easily my favorite solo of all time.
I am glad you all are smart about advertising for your bands on here. Had this video not been here, I would have never even heard of Periphery let alone be able to sample the album enough to make a decision to buy it. Thank you - I am definitely picking this one up :)
This album lyrically, musically, and thematically, beats anything they've ever done since. Period. It's just one of the most important metal albums ever, man.
Sacredgeometry I agree. But I do think Clear is pretty solid. However I can only get into a couple songs on Juggernaut, and as far as III goes, I only like Remain Indoors.

Any confusion?
This is the most important metal album of the modern era, and I don't feel that is up for debate. This album changed everything, for everybody in the genre. Production, how to record modern music, the guest spots, the moments on the album, I could go on all day with reasons why this is objectively the most important single modern metal album. The more I learn about production, mixing, arrangement, composition, etc. in metal, the more this album's importance is made even clearer.
That's so wild. I was in my early twenties when this album came out and I also showed little interest. Took me a few years to realize how incredible it is.
You and your old man both got great taste. I was 14 when this album dropped, and I learned about it from my step-brother. Periphery has been in my top 5 bands of all time for a decade now.
Ragnarok is an absolute monster. When that part builds up to that massive breakdown, I almost shit myself. I don't know how Periphery will ever top this album. It is truly unbeatable.
I still remember when this came out a little bit before the album released I was working for a lawn business and I bought the cd the day it came out when we finished that day..nostalgia is real😂
this is one of my favorite albums ever the interludes make me feel so introspective ,the heavy parts, the soft parts, the wirting ,the mixing the albums having almost a chorus of its own throughout i fucking love this shit right here fam
I keep coming back to this album. Along with both Juggernauts. Because of the simple fact that these albums are quite possibly the best metal records I've heard in YEARS!!!
Despite all the douches claiming that Juggernaut isn't ya know, "metal enough", I firmly believe it to be one of the best records I've heard in quite a while
como puede un album entregarte placer despues de 10 años ninguna canción se parece a la otra pero tiene esa conexión que cada vez te entrega algo nuevo .. este disco me explota la mente desde el primer dia que lo escuche gracias periphery este album trasendera porque es perfecto riff ,solos,melodías etc !
Periphery has a little bit of everything for everyone to enjoy. Half the people arguing in the comments cant even play in instrument, your points therefore hold very little value. If you are a musican of any kind you would understand how things work for example: Spencers vocals be it his cleans or screams blend into the songs so well and they are fitting for what is being played in the songs.
Think saying people who don't play an instrument have an opinion of 'little value' is pretty risky! However I agree that as an instrumentalist there's probably more appreciation for what they're able to compose. Whether I would enjoy it as much if I didn't play the guitar, it's hard to tell. Playing along is fucking hard sometimes though!
no i totally understand that. What i ment by that is that if someone who simply listens to music would have a more bias opinion toward any music compared to someone who plays an instrument or composes etc. A musician knows how certian things work and how much time to takes to fromulate a song where as a regualr listener can only compare things to others bands or people they know.
***** They do. I play bass since 2003, and I like to listen to music I cannot play. Periphery, some Dream Theater songs, Meshuggah. By time music gets complicated the simple ear of a non-musician is getting bored. This band is cooler than I thought. The only thing I don't really enjoy is the growl in the songs, but I will get used to them ;)
@@nuttguzzler4945 sumerian imo has a lot of"exciting bands" I.e. some banger breakdowns most of the kids skip to, but the faceless hands down is the only band that takes their music seriously anymore tbh. Everyother band seems content witgproducing mediocre deathcore or metalcpre until that well dries up,
@@polderrican Last I heard Keene is too busy being addicted to drugs to take his music seriously these days. Shame cos the recent albums are quite good.
Everytime someone asks me my favorite Periphery song, I give the same answer everytime. PII start to finish. My favorite individual song of all their discography may not be on this album, but this album flows into its own chapters so fluently that it’ll always be a single song to me.
P1 made me a fan, P2 is when they became my favorite. Every album is fire but this one still holds onto my all time favorite track, Luck as a Constant!

They're way better with Spencer. He's, hands down, the best vocalist this band has had. Though, his uncleans do remind me of Nick Xourafas'.. (Former Structures frontman) p.s. I loved Nick when he was in Structures.
Yeah well that's just like, your opinion man. Whenever I hear him sing "Off in the distance we can see shining clear our demise to be, we're not listening to ourselves" I get chills. Love him or hate him, he has major talent and a lot of people don't think his tone is garbage.
Salad Dressing Been there maan.. shit its fucking awesome. I've spent about fucking 2 hours learning the first riff at full speed, but I can compare playing it to masturbating. Seriously.
Without doubt Periphery's best album. Curious how it also has this very unique sound compared to their other work. The tracklisting, sound, lyrics and how the songs transition into each other so swiftly...everything about this album is perfection.
I completely agree. This is peak periphery. I wish I knew music theory to figure out why this album is so much better than anything they put afterwards. Besides the clear ep, everything since has been consistently worse...
You probably just like the way it is mastered/arranged, they have similar sounding tracks on other albums as well. Follow Your Ghost on Hail Stan sounds like a track straight from Alpha/Omega, etc. They have tracks all over from any year
Periphery: they seem to have influence of Death (band), Dream Theater, Faith no more, Incubus, 30 seconds to mars, killswitch engage, And 80s/90s melodic hard rock (a.o.r), Alternative rock, Pop punk, electronic, clasical music, jazz and spanish music. Wow!!
Looking back to Juggernaut to this, it is very clear they have greatly progressed as musicians. While I prefer this records openness, Juggernaut requires full attention. This is is still my favorite record from them, but Juggernaut makes it such a close number 1.
+Bennie Hill I didnt like the juggernauts it was evident they were trying to be as technical as possible and forfeiting any melody, this album backed up on the techy elements and actually had melody unlike the alpha/omega. also the kick tone and bass tone on those albums make me sick
I saw them live with Dead Letter Circus and Twelve Foot Ninja in October (no Born of Osiris because they're still not allowed in Canada). It was a great experience, even though I was at the very front and everyone behind me was pushing themselves closer to the stage, essentially making me a human pancake lol The price you pay for being front row centre. Totally worth it.
Zin Skymerald The band CAN come here, just not Cam. Which is funny, because they could have played Canada and find someone else to play the drums on the Canadian dates.
Kali Longpre Yeah, I was wondering whether they could get a live/session drummer to play with them instead. That would have been a better option than taking themselves off the bill for the Canadian dates.
The whole trilogy thing with Muramasa, Ragnarok and Masamune is so cool. Kinda reminds me of something Pink Floyd or Tool would do. I've said it so many times before but im gonna say it again, these guys are underrated as fuck.
Still to this day I return to listen to the album that completely changed my life. These songs got me through very tough times. And continue to spark something deep within my being that gives me clarity when I need it the most. Thank you Periphery for this gift.

That's probably the best opening track to an album I've ever heard. Perfectly sets the tone for the rest of it.
what I like about the beginning is, the intro really says, Welcome to the album, it really is the best intro I've ever heard, great job guys
2:20, the riffing is amazing

I discovered them post P4 as well, and holy goddamn fuck. So much dope music to get into between periphery, bulb, and everything else they touch
Spencer, in MY opinion is the greatest vocalist in metal history. He doesn't just make music, he creates art.
That solo in "Luck As A Constant" is the epitome of music. Love that solo!
No matter how many times I listen to it, it's still manages to amaze me
Brandon Tadday Jake Bowen's solo or Misha's?
OHG1997 Both.
BT Studio Productions Misha until the upwards pattern at 27:56. That is the start of Jake's
+BT Studio Productions Absolutely agree. That solo is definitely one of the high points of musical achievement in the history of ears. Easily my favorite solo of all time.

you forgot good buddy elliot
i love periphery they're so atmospheric, and get better every album
Juggernaut is going to be sick if they improve as much as they did on this album
@@DavidRodriguez-hn8vl so what did you think of Juggy??
I agree 100%
This album is pure mastery. Fav song right now is "the gods must be crazy".
They're way better with Spencer. He's, hands down, the best vocalist this band has had. Though, his uncleans do remind me of Nick Xourafas'.. (Former Structures frontman) p.s. I loved Nick when he was in Structures.
His screams remind me of Corey Taylor.
Yeah I can't really think of another one either. I like screamers that can pitch their screams too.
Oh yeah, I forgot about Howard. What band is Jesse Leach from? The dude from Shadows Fall is good at it too.
Ah okay.
Yeah well that's just like, your opinion man. Whenever I hear him sing "Off in the distance we can see shining clear our demise to be, we're not listening to ourselves" I get chills. Love him or hate him, he has major talent and a lot of people don't think his tone is garbage.
Always come back to this masterpiece
Who's still jamming P2 9 years later?
😎😎
I almost keep this album on repeat 🤣
*39:23** - Make total destroy still is just out of this world*
duh duh duh duhjent
The guitar on Have A Blast (second song) is just fucking out of this world.
I've listened to that song probably 30 times in the last 3 days - no exaggeration either lol.
The solo is played by the master Guthrie Govan,one of the best musicians of the world actually
Yeah I know. He's a fucking beast.
I'm really fucking high and I am feeling the shit out of Have a Blast.
Salad Dressing Been there maan.. shit its fucking awesome. I've spent about fucking 2 hours learning the first riff at full speed, but I can compare playing it to masturbating. Seriously.
2022, lost friends and family and Mile Zero totally hits different now.
Without doubt Periphery's best album. Curious how it also has this very unique sound compared to their other work. The tracklisting, sound, lyrics and how the songs transition into each other so swiftly...everything about this album is perfection.
I completely agree. This is peak periphery. I wish I knew music theory to figure out why this album is so much better than anything they put afterwards. Besides the clear ep, everything since has been consistently worse...
You probably just like the way it is mastered/arranged, they have similar sounding tracks on other albums as well. Follow Your Ghost on Hail Stan sounds like a track straight from Alpha/Omega, etc. They have tracks all over from any year
@@opliko ya but I don't like alpha/omega :(
@@adino20 I don’t agree. They haven’t gotten worse, they just changed and matured their sound
@@jaydenjbryant8665 I hate the "matured" buzzword. What does it mean for a sound to have matured?
already got my tickets for periphery and animals as leaders
It might be just me, but it feels like every time I come back to this upload, there's more blips of silence in the album than usual?
Yeah...
all of these djent djokes are making me djittery.
+Carson Troeh as djittery as a djentleman?
Pikaboss as djittery as an undjust dastardly djuvenile djentleman than I am
Carson Troeh ...that's djust outradjeous...
+Carson Troeh dude, djust stop!
+Carson Troeh I dont know why these people leave comments here, If you're stucked at 80th/90 th then listen to Skid Row or G N R but dont piss us off
Man, 5:12 is just pure nirvana to me
Not talking about the band, by the way
Such a great band! Unique and refreshing sound and great use of odd time signatures. LOVE THEM!
best progressive metal album ever until today...
You dont listen too many prog don't you?
malemuffin64
Or he just has a different opinion than you
GetScaredGaming everywhere I go. Everywhere I fucking go. EVERYWHERE I FUCKING GO. I see you.
Periphery:
they seem to have influence of Death (band), Dream Theater, Faith no more, Incubus, 30 seconds to mars, killswitch engage, And 80s/90s melodic hard rock (a.o.r), Alternative rock, Pop punk, electronic, clasical music, jazz and spanish music. Wow!!
And ABBA
justi bieber and one direction also
f
I thought I was the only one who heard incubus in there.
Epoch is my wake up in the morning alarm and i love it. Some days i listen to it all as I'm waking up. Just has a great rising vibe.
P2 is my favorite album of all time.
Looking back to Juggernaut to this, it is very clear they have greatly progressed as musicians. While I prefer this records openness, Juggernaut requires full attention. This is is still my favorite record from them, but Juggernaut makes it such a close number 1.
+Bennie Hill I didnt like the juggernauts it was evident they were trying to be as technical as possible and forfeiting any melody, this album backed up on the techy elements and actually had melody unlike the alpha/omega. also the kick tone and bass tone on those albums make me sick
+Bennie Hill glad someone finally nailed it
+Fractal Gaming Forfeiting melody? Have you not heard Heavy Heart or Alpha?
Don't you mean.....DJ0nternaut..? Sorry..I had to...
Not in a million years was Juggernaut as technical as P2 lol.
In case anyone’s wondering, this is still the best progressive metal album ever released.
Looked up The Bad Thing and somehow ended up here... can't complain xD
Just follow your ghost
Ragnarok one of the best songs ever written. Grats PERIPHERY!
Thank you for showing me my path. Too bad that it will only remain a path that I acknowledged, but cannot walk. Good luck forever and ever.
Seeing Periphery and Animals as Leader in 2014! :D Keen as a Bean!
Keen as a bean? That's not even a saying.
Henry Jones If you're Australian, you'll know it's a saying.
fuck you.
They're coming to Florida in February, GOD I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE SCHOOL OK
KEENE as the Machine.... ;]
This album changed my fucking life
PERIPHERYめちゃかっこええ！声いい！ SUMERIAN RECORDS 応援してます！
You can thank Nobuo Uematsu for track number 2! Thanks FF !
Yeah? What is this in reference to? Not hearing the FF
+Braden Lloyd you can hear it in the intro, chords progression and that arpeggio.
Guthrie...Have a Blast...I cannot stop backing the video to 7:14
His guest solo's the best.
I find myself listening this album at least once a week, definitely the best album any band has released in 2012.
I saw them live with Dead Letter Circus and Twelve Foot Ninja in October (no Born of Osiris because they're still not allowed in Canada). It was a great experience, even though I was at the very front and everyone behind me was pushing themselves closer to the stage, essentially making me a human pancake lol
The price you pay for being front row centre. Totally worth it.
Haha why are they not allowed in Canada?
Cam was caught with weed at the border a few years ago. Since then, the entire band can't come here.
Zin Skymerald The band CAN come here, just not Cam. Which is funny, because they could have played Canada and find someone else to play the drums on the Canadian dates.
Kali Longpre Yeah, I was wondering whether they could get a live/session drummer to play with them instead. That would have been a better option than taking themselves off the bill for the Canadian dates.
Zin Skymerald Probably, though there are plenty of rumors that they're not that great guys on a personal level..
Experimental Metal at its finest.
The "Erised is absolutely astonishing
I'm sorry but the ad placement at 1:05:29 was a CRIME
AGAIN AT 1:52 WHAT IS THIS
It's bull when they do that
Can't wait for Juggernaut! This has been one of my favorite albums of the last couple years
Been doing heavy music for a long time.I used to hate when people sing in this genre.This is my new favorite band period... untouchable
I listen to this whenever I need to get those creative djuices flowing xDD
listen to any song on the album at 1.5 or 2 speed, and you have Dragonforce. ESPECIALLY Luck As A Constant.
oh fuck,@30:00
Just found these guys out. Wow! I've been missing out.
The whole trilogy thing with Muramasa, Ragnarok and Masamune is so cool. Kinda reminds me of something Pink Floyd or Tool would do. I've said it so many times before but im gonna say it again, these guys are underrated as fuck.
