Aug 2, 2016Catchy, Riffy and Djenty. Periphery draw in new and old styles to create something that pushes their style forward. The technical skills of mark, jake, misha, adam and matt are incredible and Spencers vocals are insane, proving once again that they go up like an angel and down like a wounded Ox. If you're a true Periphery fan this will delight.

Jul 28, 2016Another worthy addition. Adheres to the pop/catchy flavor we got in alpha/omega, minus the concept album writing style. In my opinion, not as strong as Periphery 2, but will be a good entry point for new listeners due to the inviting nature of the vocals. A lot less harsh screams and what not. Orchestral portions spread throughout will delight Dream Theater fans :P

Oct 29, 2016Some great songs (The Price Is Wrong, Motormouth, Marigold, Absolomb, Prayer Position) are mixed with some good (Remain Indoors, Habitual Line-Stepper, Flatline) and one song that I couldn't accept (Catch Fire - I found it awful to be honest).

Aug 11, 2016I'm really not sure what to think of Periphery going forward. P2 is a favorite but each album since has somewhat disappointed. I see little progression and whilst this album has a couple of stellar highlights, it all seems like they're rehashing stuff that they've done before.

Sep 5, 2016Found it really fantastic, the difference on how this album opens and ends are polar opposite, The Price is Wrong is extremely aggresive as well as the second track Motormouth, Remain Indoors is my favorite as it deals with a simple theme in the vocals and some fantastic riffs and instrumentals through out, recommended

Kerrang!Jul 27, 2016The heaviest and catchiest thing the Washingtonians have unleashed--and the most moving, too. [23 Jul 2016, p.52]

Jul 26, 2016A poppier polish, especially vocally, coats this album as they move into catchier, crowd-pleasing metalcore territory with mixed results.

Jul 26, 2016III is acceptable only to the loyal fans, as it ultimately does little right and sees Periphery at an all-time creative low, failing to improve on any of their faults. For all the instrumental complexity and quirky songwriting choices, it will just sound forced to most.
