Essay Review of the Band Periphery and Their Album Clear

Their first release is a “self-titled” EP with five songs on it–with all them being sort of different, but cohesive; and so there might be something for every indie-lover. My personal favorite is track 3 “Fishes”. Something about that opening guitar line takes me back to the days when I would pull obscure albums

The record ends with “Legacy”, another magnetic experimentation that will certainly be appreciated by the fans of Dave Douglas’ compositional style and powerful instrumentation.

“The Absolute Outmost (No. 52)” features Susan Alcorn playing her pedal guitar steel in a meditative way. Halvorson, opting for unusual sounds, and John Hébért, who bows the bass accordingly, join her until the fourth minute, time when the reeds erupt and a flamboyant rhythm is installed. Ingrid Laubrock excels with a portentous solo that encompasses melodious lines, hints of bop phrasing, and explosive temper.

Additionally, each note was exact and accurate, as well as the rhythms. Each individual solo was flawless with precise entrances. All instruments executed nice releases with no sloppy sounds or breathing. Each player seemed to master interpreting articulations because

The latter sets immediately the groove on “Convulsive”, an unhurried, impeccably harmonized piece that boasts a certain ambiguity in its thoughtful splendor, making us search throughout. It’s all about color and texture and almost never

It’s really in a genre of its own. I’m thoroughly impressed with their talent – which really shines through this album.

Final Exam: Athletes should be paid When being a professional athlete it takes up majority of your time with many practices, games, watching film, traveling, etc. When becoming a professional athlete, it becomes your job and athletes are getting paid for their skills. But when a student becomes a student athlete at the collegiate level, they are not getting paid. College athletes spend more than half of their time on the field for their sports and many people believe that the student athlete should be paid for their skills. They think it is unfair to the student who is an athlete who is balancing out school and sports and have no time to get a job.

Though the influences that contribute to the undertones of each album may vary, they still draw mainly from their primary influences. In addition, across all of their albums, they sustain their reputation for the moody, almost brooding element of their music. Regardless of which album someone should choose to listen to, that distinct ‘Warpaint’ ambiance is there on both of them.

The opening tune, “Shake Loose” pulses with hypnotic rhythmic chops and feels simultaneously urban and futuristic. With strong influences of pop-rock, jazz, and electronic music, the quartet proliferates a penetrating tension that remains elevated until its release through expansive harmonic progressions and the attractive melody of the chorus.

The production is interesting as usual with songs like "Dang!", "Stay", "Cinderella", "We" etc. The features on this album blow away anything that was on GO:OD AM. Ty Dolla $ign, Anderson.Paak, Cee-Lo Green, Ariana Grande and Kendrick Lamar all do pretty solid jobs on where they are placed. That is also the other great thing about the features, they are placed so much better than the features on GO:OD AM. We also didn't have to hear another Ab-Soul (Lil Uzi Vert is more interesting than him just to point that out).

The English brothers have created a name for themselves within the past few years through their collaborations with some of pops biggest names, (Lorde, Sam Smith) as well as solid tracks featuring their own uniquely smooth sound. Mixing dance and pop, their futuristic sound helps stand out in the otherwise saturated EDM field. With the lack of obnoxious drops and more of a focus on overall production and vocals, Disclosure’s music can appeal to those who aren’t the biggest fans of dance or pop music. Give their 2013 album Settle a listen, focusing on key tracks such as ‘When A Fire Starts to Burn,’ ‘Grab Her!’ and ‘White Noise’ feat.

I feel worthless cause my shirt wasn’t matching my gear/ I’m just scratching the surface/ cause what’s buried under there/ is a kid torn apart once his pop disappeared/ I went to school/ got good grades/ could behave when I wanted/ but I had demons deep inside/ that were raised when confronted/…Now all the teachers couldn’t reach me/ and my momma couldn’t beat me hard enough/ to match the pain of my pop not seeing me so/ with that disdain in my membrane/ got on my pimp game/ f*** the world/ my defense came/ (December 4th)

The ideals of society have been manipulated and morphed thousands of times to fit the various time periods throughout history. What was once a crime punishable by means of hanging and quartering has now become the “norm” of society. This was a major topic addressed in classic literary works such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Scarlet Letter. In The Scarlet Letter, the author tries to convey his message that the accepted ideals of society are not always worth following, and he, through the use of Hester Prynne, was able to prove that not fitting into society is really the better path to take. After reading the passage from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s book The Scarlet Letter, it is evident that the author uses diction, tone, and intense

The timbre in the song “Flying Free” was bright and had a smooth flow. I liked how the melody repeated a couple times in this song. The guitar solo in this

Set in rural farm in England, the book Animal Farm is brilliant story which challenges the reader's opinions and opens their eyes to the world of politics. Animal Farm is a very clever book which mimics the events before, during and after the Russian revolution, through the animals present on the farm. It shows the rise and fall of the once great idealism of equality for all, being corrupted through the pig's lust for power, until they eventually turn into the very humans that the animals wanted freedom form. An interesting idea in the novel is the corruption of the ideals through the pigs lust for power and luxury. This lust of pigs for power and luxury leads them to twisting and distorting the ideals which every animal has fought so hard for, to suit the pigs' new selfish interests and to mislead the other animals.
