The Summer Jam - the most "Periphery" out of all the tracks, but fresh and easily the best Feed The Ground - generic, but awesome vocal work Zero - more like "Zero Merit"...pure generic The Parade Of Ashes - pretty fresh, but I didn't like the industrial vibes Extraneous - generic, but awesome Pale Aura - pretty typical Periphery and enjoyable, but the vocal work could have been better Overall, pretty dissatisfied with this

Written by LeKiwi on 15.01.2014 at 17:28 I think the industrial bits are giving the song a slight NIN-like vibe. Really love that song, but haven't really decided about the EP overall. Needs more listens.

Written by pazuzuovbabel on 28.01.2014 at 11:50 Yea...I meant to say disappointed, but I suppose dissatisfied also works. I'm used to Periphery crunching out albums worth a 9 or 10. I know this is only an EP but when you have high expectations...you're right though. I was a bit ambivalent when I gave this an 8...going to change it to a 7

For those wondering, the composer of each track is as follows: 2. "The Summer Jam" (guitarist Jake Bowen) 3. "Feed the Ground" (drummer Matt Halpern) 4. "Zero" (guitarist Misha Mansoor) 5. "The Parade of Ashes" (vocalist Spencer Sotelo) 6. "Extraneous" (bassist/producer Adam "Nolly" Getgood) 7. "Pale Aura" (guitarist Mark Holcomb) Best to worst for me are: 7, 4, 2, 6, 3, 5.

Written by Moose on 29.01.2014 at 15:05 Wow, do we have the exact opposite taste or something? Mine was actually something more along the lines of: 5, 3, 2, 7, 6, 4 (though I can't say this is my final mindset on these right now; they just keep alternating) Overall though, I really enjoyed this album. It's nice to see so many different sides to the band I thought I'd memorised the formula of!

I very like the idea of composing and producing each track by someone in the band separately, 'cause you can understand the different moods of different people and their abilities. 8.4
