✦✦✦✧ The band does an even better job fusing their varied moods on this, their eighth album. Part djent, part emocore singalong, part dripping synthwave, A Pale White Dot boasts the band’s shortest average track length in a decade. Also, they’re playing 6-string baritone guitars, and until Misha, Matt, or Jake tell me otherwise, I’m going to assume that changeup is contributing to the slightly more focused and honest feel of this album. One of my fave Periphery releases for quite a while.
