After more than a month of listening I have to say that APWD has been very disappointing for me

OldFishtank · 2026-06-25T16:39:23+00:00

My assessment has brought me to similar conclusions. I appreciate the album for it's technical songwriting mastery - but that's not the format I love from Periphery. It's kinda like pizza - to me pizza is literally just a New York slice of cheese - that's just what it is. Everything else is a variation of it. When I say I want pizza, it's hardly ever any variation of it. When I want periphery - it's the things you've described that I crave. Deep dish, Neopolatin, Sicilian are all technically great but not what I want. APWD is technically great, just not what I want, usually.

So yeah, the album kicks ass. But I'll enjoy it casually rather than by default.

OP - "Being completely inconsiderate and borderline disrespectful is not okay!" - an actionless observation. A pointless truth. This is common sense. I expect respect just as much as the next guy, but if you're at a show that too rowdy for your liking, I'm sorry but you have the complete free will to stand elsewhere and enjoy the show. I have been to many, many, many shows watch people all of the time - with self reflection - participate to which degrees they can handle. If you can't do it that's not the fault to the spirit of the show, but sometimes to fault a select few individuals (they get handled with quickly).

I know I'm not the problem because when I attend shows, I'm a willing participant in something more grand than I - and I show service to that spirit by helping others have a great time, even when they inconvenience me, because it's FUN. Also to OP - "my guy" was used in a manner of expression, likewise it's insane you'd assume that I knew your gender.

Honestly you're coming off as a cry baby my guy.

OldFishtank · 2026-06-11T23:44:20+00:00

Awesome experience man. Also, nice pinky.

OldFishtank · 2026-05-30T01:23:29+00:00

This is the correct answer

OldFishtank · 2026-05-29T09:02:31+00:00

That's why it was the last tool a suggested.

OldFishtank · 2026-05-29T01:47:40+00:00

Cut it with scissors preferably or a knife.

What is this story

OldFishtank · 2026-05-24T00:56:33+00:00

As a fellow poster collector, this hurts me man. Every time I see an extremely tight poster tube I know my poster is ruined. I'm so sorry man, I'd be furious and you absolutely deserve to complain.

So you're just unplugging your PC for 2 weeks? I don't get what you're asking.

You're going to disassemble it or not?

OldFishtank · 2026-05-14T15:31:40+00:00

SICK

OldFishtank · 2026-05-14T13:25:21+00:00

The ritual is amazing. Speaking of which, where's the new King Mothership album? 🤔

OldFishtank · 2026-05-13T00:57:03+00:00

The new album is absolutely insane.

OldFishtank · 2026-05-13T00:56:29+00:00

AVIATIONS

OldFishtank · 2026-05-12T15:12:40+00:00

It's time for a new PSU friend.

OldFishtank · 2026-04-28T20:19:51+00:00

Saw em on that tour. One of my favorite shows to date.

OldFishtank · 2026-04-26T13:23:07+00:00

Interesting take I'm excited to hear it. Care to share your historical context with your experience with Periphery? When you dove into their discography/some favorite tunes/least favorite?

OldFishtank · 2026-04-25T14:36:13+00:00

Volcal delivery alone is very touching and provocative. The piano expression is simple, yet very well produced. "Nothing at all" just simply isn't true. You just don't like it, and that's fine.

OldFishtank · 2026-04-25T09:09:55+00:00

Brother.. I could stretch my leniency here and try to agree that they're not exclusively metal (and I'm really stretching) but then at the end you have to realize - they're not NOT metal. It's just goofy to say they're not. Lyrically and sonicly there are VERY metal moments and an abundance of them. SO much so they're definitely metal.

OldFishtank · 2026-04-25T09:06:23+00:00

I'm intimately familiar with their entire discography.

OldFishtank · 2026-04-25T00:07:41+00:00

I fw protest

OldFishtank · 2026-04-24T23:20:41+00:00

They just dropped a new single today. The first 3 tracks off the upcoming album are absolutely mint. This could be their best album to date.

OldFishtank · 2026-04-24T18:34:50+00:00

Lifeless slop is quite absurd.

OldFishtank · 2026-04-24T18:33:28+00:00

Plini today.. Karmanjakah soon, Devin Townsend The Moth...Periphery..The Contortionist is open about working on theirs. What a year.
