Of course.

Ive seriously been waiting for this album since they started recording with Jake. Its been singer after singer for years. I seriously sweat Misha's work but this new singer has me disappointed.

[God Hand Apostle]

Ordered. CD + Shirt. Righteousness!

[Customisbetter]

TBH i hardly notice a difference except Spence can actually hit the notes he writes live. Seriously, go to a Periphery show and get your face ripped off by Spence and im sure you will change your mind.

I just hope you guys didn't have to settle on this singer because of album deadlines. Just keep on keepin' on, you've got tons of talent in this band.

We got spencer because we were tired of settling. Sorry you dont like it, but then again you dont have to, and perhaps you can take some comfort in knowing that we are happier than ever and an actual functioning band that has finally managed to put out an album, deadlines be damned, as they have never been met in the past.

I couldnt get through 30 seconds of The Walk unfortunately. Spence seems like hes struggling with the screams is was cringe worthy. I tried like hell to catch them with they were out with Chris but the shows in my area were canceled.

there is no vocals until like 39 seconds.

Im glad you guys are pumped with the set lineup, I really am. Like I said I've been following your stuff forever. I hope you guys reach the success you deserve. Seems like Im the only one here who doesn't like the new singer so I'm sure you guys will reach your goals and Im just the lonely outsider.

Or maybe the other people that don't like him have some tact and don't want to shit in an artist's thread...

(not to imply I don't like the new singer, I'm glad Periphery finally got a singer that can make deadlines, write, and perform live and am really looking forward to getting the album)

Tact? Its a public forum last I checked. Im truly happy all parties involved are excited and I wish them luck.

Since when did opinions, positive or negative, become looked down upon when they don't match the consensus?

Im sure this isn't the first nor last time a band that grew on this forum is going to get a negative review.

I'm personally a huge fan of Spencer, and can't wait to have my mind blown in tomorrow night in Windsor

[conorreich]

ordering option 3 once monies come in!

[InCasinoOut]

YESSSS!!!!! Just ordered Deluxe #1 since I only had enough money left in my account for it.

This is the only time I've ever been excited for 4/20. haha!

[bulb]

thanks a lot guys!!!! we really appreciate your support!!
i think sumerian was surprised at how many preorders we got in, you guys ....ing rule and we love you!!

[Emperoff]

I'd try to get the Deluxe #2 this week. Thank god the exchange rate lowers the international rape.

About Spencer, it's impossible that everyone agrees with one singer or another (even with Killswitch Engage when it's so obvious). And as everyone, I think that I'll like him more for some parts, and less for others. C'mon we're talking about 4? singers here, we should be happy to finally hear the album!

[Customisbetter]

Misha did sumerian spill how many orders you guys have so far? I think it would be a world record of or something if a debut album goes "element type here" just from pre-orders.

[cyril v]

make the date sooner, this is a long wait.

I think its just the way this particular track was mixed, I dunno how to explain it as I don't do any recording but its like uhhh, the vocals were sitting in front of the mix a little too much and weren't as thick so it didn't mix entirely with the backing track so you hear everything brootally honest and up front. Icarus lives and the light aren't the same case though.

The screams on the other hand sound extremely similar. I actually thought that someone else was doing the screams on peripherys stuff because they seem to be using almost the same technique to do the screams which I rarely see across different bands since theres no standard way to do it. Listen to the original track and then the new one, the screams are very very similar the way it was mixed seems very different.

Personally I absolutely love spencers vocals, and I'm all about hifi quality and brootal honesty so I love the new track. Its strange listening to the new tracks when I got so used to listening to the old track but just with the light and icarus lives I'll listen to it a bunch of times and be accustomed to the nuances of the new track.

You should see spencer live btw, he flawlessly hits every note he does on the recordings where previous vocalists had trouble. Hes a very impressive vocalist.

Also if you find the vocals just plain aren't for you, that 2nd disc in the deluxe packs they're selling are instrumental

I think it's because the mix on the second one sounds less layered and overall much cleaner with less of a wall of sound approach to recording, and quieter in terms of gain. I noticed it too, but the vocals sound almost exactly alike, it's just they stand out ALOT more in the mix on the new version of the walk. I prefer Spencers vocals slightly more, but the old version of The Walk with Chris sounds slightly better to me, but thats likely the SYL fan in me saying so as I love wall of sound mixes and do them for my own band even. Eitherway still love it

[Sliggy]

This song can't be ruined, but the version on Soundclick with Chris sounds better in every way in my opinion. Not because Chris is a better vocalist, I think he and Spencer are both great, but the mix was sooo much more punishing. Oh well, I'll wait for the release, it could just be MySpace's infamous tone rape.

[Sliggy]

P.S. .... yeah, Periphery are FINALLY releasing an album. I've been a fan of Bulb / Periphery since The Walk was written

I have a feeling it'll work out for the album as more complex songs such as insomnia will have a much clearer mix and will sound much better and more 3d due to it

[Sliggy]

A valid point. Misha hasn't let me down or made any bad decisions thus far so I have complete faith that he knows what's up and that the album's going to rule :P
