I know it's just a coincidence, but I was talking to Misha before one of their shows last year and I mentioned that it would be awesome to see some of his earlier work fleshed out on one of their albums in the future. I specifically mentioned Absolomb, and now it is track #8 on the forthcoming album Select Difficulty. FeelsGoodMan.
Imagine knowing this song from when it first came out on Misha's soundclick, absolutely loving it for over seven years and just daydreaming about what Spencer would be able to do with it if it ever made it to a Periphery album. And then they day finally comes and not only is it amazing, it's been extended with the riff from the Fast Ones. I'll be honest, for about a month the hype that I'd built up for this song kind of made the end result a bit of a disappointment for me, but I kept listening and the more I listened the more I felt like it couldn't have been better than how it turned out. This album in general was definitely a grower for me. And I love it more every time I listen to it again. Cheers
such sick chords in the intro. I love the contrast between that ambient, almost jazzy, mysterious sounding chords and that brutal rhythm guitar under it.
I'm listening to this in 2017 and still enjoying the hell out of it. Periphery obviously improved from the time when this was released, but still it shows how Misha's dedication made Periphery so amazing nowadays. I've recorded over 20 songs in my room using my apogee maestro, a 7 string Kiesel, and a precision drive pedal. I'm fourteen and I hope one day I can amount to how amazing Bulbs originals were when he started recording
Wow, i remember seeing this when it had 10k views, i had somehow forgotten about it and stumbled across bulb's soundclick on my favorites then immediately remembered this song. A masterpiece!
Probably one of the very first songs that got me into listening these guys' stuff, with Füf. I like how they reinterpreted this one on their new album!
Um the first periphery album was all bulb demos. "Bulb" is just mishas nickname bulb isn't a band these are basically periphery demos and random recordings from way back in the day.
Man, i remember seeing this when it had 5k views. Good to see that more and more people are listening to older periphery(not that their new stuff is bad, i just prefer their older works)
im staring at my dog right now, he's staring back at me, we are both nodding our heads, he wont look away, as much as I know about his world, that's how much he knows about mine, I need some gatorade and tacos
Zach Lunde LOL wat is this dude snortin'? the one in the final song has way btr flow and motions this one feels like a place holder solo which it was.. but thats all subjective i guess
Haven't heard the new album. It is just plain odd to me what people deem a good solo. This is obviously a very good solo. I'll dong slap both you knuckleheads in this war of solos if I have to! (I kid)
Music - an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. (The definition from many source that is most recognized.) AND I can say with full confidence that there are rap songs out there that don't follow this definition at all.
@LINKENSSPHERE You words themselves are like music to my ears; I can't wait for the new albums, and I can't wait to hear Spencer's majesty on this track. :D
@DrDreamTheater It's a way of mixing the guitars to spike at certain frequencies and get that tight punchy distortion that a lot of bands are into these days, my best example being periphery.
@4whitesharpEz Appreciate it man. thanks. been listening to animals as leaders, and periphery a lot. but cant find anything from vildhjarta besides on here. a shame cuz they sound awesome. I'll check out the others. Thanks again.
I think the next pod they send in to space with human information and directions to earth, they need to send a Periphery album so that extraterrestrial life forms know were cool
@RIPGLITCH Yes, but this was actually written and recorded by Misha Mansoor (guitarist of Periphery). This song isn't really by Periphery, just Misha. And he programmed the drums.
@lenlee14 Thats pretty much how i feel, with lyrics it is giving its own interpretation of something, with instrumentals you can build your own fantasies, your own little worlds in which you control what is happening, all while being influenced by the wonderful music that is flowing through your ears. You couldn't have said it any better mate!
