Overall, Periphery IV: Hail Stan is a heavier album but it shines when the melody hits and unique lyric lines are sang cleanly. The longtime fans will love this latest entry and it might attract a new listener or two with its wild guitar solos. The leaders of the djent movement have delivered exactly what was expected, and the prog-lovers have another album to play all the way through.
