Juggernaut is lowk the best periphery album no debate. All the motifs and ostinatos throughout the album are truly amazing. I like how different this album is to all their other ones. It captures something the others truly don’t. Listening to Juggernaut is an experience. Every single time I’ve listened to it I’ve always noticed something new, even 3 years later. Incredible album
