## Background and release

Seth Haley's previous works *[Galactic Melt](/source/Galactic_Melt)* (2011), *[Wave 1](/source/Wave_1)* (2014), *[Silicon Tare](/source/Silicon_Tare)* (2016), and *[Iteration](/source/Iteration_(album))* (2017), tells the story of a space traveler named Com Truise.[2] *Iteration* was the last album about the story. According to Haley's label [Ghostly International](/source/Ghostly_International), with *Persuasion System*, "Haley leaves the past narrative behind".[3] According to Ghostly, the album "began as an experiment. Haley switched digital audio workstations, rebuilt his palette of sounds, and tasked himself with simply trying it out".[3]

On March 5, 2019, he announced the album while also releasing its first single, "Existence Schematic".[4] A second single, the title-track, was released on April 10.[5] On May 15, "Ultrafiche of You", the third and final single, was released.[6] A music video for it was released on June 19, which, as described by Ghostly, is a "metaphysical journey through the seasons of life."[7][8]

## Reception

On review aggregator [Metacritic](/source/Metacritic), *Persuasion System* has a rating of 71/100, indicating "generally favorable reviews",[9] while, on review aggregator AnyDecentMusic?, the album has a rating of 6.4/10.[10] Critics found the album similar to Haley's previous work; Paul Simpson wrote to [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) that "*Persuasion System* signals a bit of a different approach for Haley, but not so much that it will alienate anyone who enjoyed his earlier releases,"[11] while Simon K. wrote to Sputnikmusic that "It's not a bad album by any means and if you like his work, this will deliver in all the ways you’d expect, but in that regard that’s half the problem."[12]
