Periphery Review
September 24, 2013
I very appreciate this album. It has a lot of particular and beautiful riffs, but i think the best side of this album is the armonic side, like in Buttersnips or in the masterpiece Racecar. I don't love clean vocals but i think Sotelo is a very good singer, and near the end of the album you think: why he use growl? The unique problem of his voice is the breath similar to a pop singer breath. Misha is a master in composition but i think the sound is a bit unbalanced, and this is the major cause because I rate this 85, but Racecar is 100 out of 100, it's touching.

전작에 비해 더욱 편해진 느낌이다. 애초에 Djent 계열의 음악을 하던 뮤지션들이 모인 그룹이었던 밴드인 만큼, 쫄깃한 엇박과 기타의 커팅, 공간계를 이용한 이펙팅, 극단적으로 치닫는 속주 등 테크닉 측면에서는 그 실력을 의심할 바가 없다. 스크리밍과 클린보컬이 교차되는 만큼 일반... Read More

개인적으로 Djent계열은 그다지 끌리는 부분이 없지만, 이정도의 클린보컬이라면 충분히 들어줄 만 하다. 곡 구성이 나름대로다양하고 딱히 기계적인 리프로 구성된 메슈가 스타일도 아니라서 듣기가 훨씬 편하다. 장르분석에 따라 프로그레시브라고 설명이 되어있으나 드라마틱한 구성이... Read More
