I always loved the way the solo came back in with the staccato 64th notes... just now realizing 3 years later that it's entirely the groove from the drums carrying that super simple guitar pattern
Ya their old stuff was really generic, cool ideas, but everything was so bland. This new album however is everything they should've done. It's honestly insane
If you want more mindblowing musicians, you should also check out Dirty Loops. It has no link with Polyphia but same musicianship, talent, and technical skills
this isnt metal though, or anything very close. Like i get it "hurr hurr not trve metal go away casuals" but, it's really not. Only thing about this song in particular that's even close is JR's solo.
João Casqueira I,too, got the BIG GAY for the fellas. There was no denying the BG when every time I listen to this I become awash with an IMMENSE, LOIN-MELTING wave of INCREDIBLE EROTICISM. Especially the guest solo by Richardson; it feels almost illegal to rip that hard. (and it’s criminal that his other guest solo on Aviator is even more of a “MIND GOATSE” than this).
2008 Marilyn Manson interview: "my message to future musicians is this... stop making music that confuses strippers" 2018 Polyphia: "don't make this weird....keep twerkin bish"
it's true tho lol. a good poledancer will make you appreciate songs you hate. got to pay homage to the strippers xD I think their music video for this should include a pole dancer. a GOOD pole dancer. I could see it working QUITE well :)
@@nickdetsch3416 A good parody will make you appreciate songs you hate too. That doesn't prove anything he said, and even though what he said isn't exactly bad advice, I don't encourage anyone to look to him as an example of what to do
@@Countdownsmiles that sounds like a reach and a hefty bit of bias towards a single person rather than acknowledgement of the bigger picture. but to each is own. you don't dig manson, got it lol
@@nickdetsch3416 I detest Manson. My opinion on his musoc aside he's abrasive, egotistical, and fake. Years ago he tried picking fights with Rob Zombie and made an ass of himself, and then he publicly humiliated a fan earlier this year by harrasing a fan for wearing another bands shirt at his show. Manson is a bitch
S1 R3C0RDS that shred of his was epic dudeeeee. I used to always skip this song because it took a while to get started until like 2 weeks ago i let it play the whole and i was like whut tf did i just witness!!! Fckn badass
imho richardson's solo sucks. just a generic super distorted (tone is pure shit) extreme power/neoclassical shred-solo that ruins such an original and particular song.
@@francescom2027 Are you kidding me? the fact that he was still able to make a riff... Which is meant to sound insane, STILL chill... is what was badass...
@@joshuamachado6278 i don't know, i dont't feel the insanity and i don't feel the chill, i just feel an uninspired and too distorted shred metal solo, alexi laiho may have done that and it doesn't fit the genius song that goes from 0:00 to 2:45
@@francescom2027 I agree with you mostly. The song up until then was very original but the solo sounded like more Joe Satriani type stuff just like Polyphia's earlier stuff. Not that that sound is bad, and I have mad respect for Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, but... I've heard enough of that. I crave variety to a fault so anytime I witness or hear something that I utterly have not been exposed to before, that right there is priceless.
Holy shit, it worked! I found $5000 on the ground today. Can you believe there were a bunch of guys just leaving their money on the ground while naked girls were dancing? Suckers.
@@animalblundetto6510 its funny you say that because chemically dmt is basically (emphasis on basically) smokable mushrooms. aint no right to call them puny when 15-20g is 8 hours of dmt
Yo, I'm not sure what it is about this polyphia, ichika etc shit. But it really touches me. I've been having a hard time lately and it feeds my soul fucking power. Thanks for the kick ass music. Keep this shit up!
I kinda feel married to the concept that the point of polyphia's style is to have less symmetry. That's probably just the musician in me speaking though
Damn that song instantly caught my attention and held it till the end, it feels like looking at something indescribably dangerous, yet mesmerizing like natural disasters, dark and beautiful, powerful vibe
@@adityaprasad9711i literally listened to exclusively the intro on repeat for an ungodly amount of time today. When I found this yesterday, I immediately started learning the intro's bassline. It is one of the coolest things I have ever heard, and probably will be for years to come.
its awesome how much guitar appreciation changes, when i started learning how to play the guitar I thought Kirk hammet solos were difficult later moved on to john petrucci and now I find Tim fucking henson and Scott Lapage. Cant play this, love it.
@@morganalston6579 I haven't seen them live yet either, but it would be such a good show! But yes, Polyphia is amazing!. I'm happy more people are giving a listen! \m/
They're the sort of thing that Ed Garcia, the guitarist from Vitalism does a lot, you can see it in the final solo of their song "Pagan". Diminished arpeggio sequences that are tricky to learn but great for your technique and super fun to play.
@@lukedavies6646 diminished sequences are used by many players and each of them has an approach to such licks Jeff loomis,malmsteen,muhammed suiçmez etc But they kinda sound more weird in jason's approach! And that's cool!
Producer: “what I need is something Alice would dream about induced by the Hatter when she’s asleep already in the rabbit hole, played like Yngwie, but with Steve Vai’s melodies sprinkled about, and, add insane djent-like chugs but with harmonies Eddie would come up with.” Polyphia: “we made all that, but even better, so something like this?”
Ah man, this is the shit!!! I've been playing guitar for decades and I've loved it all the way. And now, like a rare tropical flower it has just opened to reveal even more beautiful hidden levels. Looking forward to decades more guitar playing. Thanks Polyphia :)
@@beast3oy360 I do agree in the fact that it's annoying how everything is going electronic. I do really enjoy how these guys incorporate it with stringed instruments, though. I grew up playing guitar, so it makes sense why this would still be more appealing to me.
@@beast3oy360 don't know wtf you're talking about but the drums are very good. Sure they've mixed in some electronic stuff but live it sounds incredible.
Wilson Strickland electronic is a huge part of their sound, that’s why it sounds so gotdam clean, this is like the holy grail of production lmao the drums are real tho, just gotta separate the drum from the backtrack beat they throw in here and there
I feel that I've been missing out on this ...I've only just come across polyphia..wow is all I can say what an amazing band....I'm hooked...not bad for a 60 year old rock fan.
For the first half of the song I wasnt sure how Jason's style was gonna fit with the song. It's such a non traditional "guitar song" and Jason is such a shredder I was kinda prepared to be disappointed....but nope...they nailed it. I love Jason's tone and he had just the right balance of keeping his signature technical shredding but adding in that same mood Polyphia used. Well done. Also...with Polyphias current style, they've got to do another song with Rick Graham.
The machine is real It’s all around you You breath it You taste it You follow it’s lead Time to break free I see you Inside the machine, lurking and twisting and crushing your dreams The simulation your facein, replacin, retracin The past, it won’t last, you’ll crash from the blast on your ass You see, the only way out is on your knees Crawlin, sprawlin Gaspin, collapsin, relapsin and thrashin Can you feel, Or do you choke on the peel, What is real? Spirits of oblivi-en, We live in Coming out the dark, Contrast stark, You’re parked and gotta move Feel me callin, Stop stallin Run through the walls, Outside these halls, The endless mall, Ignore the memory who we are You’ll see when tides rise, It’s no surprise, Those aren’t your eyes, Ignore the lies There is a path up, down, through and in-side-out Why pout, Break out And see the stars underneath it all, This ball Of clay, Today, Stop running away A product of a block of code, A node On the network defines, Rewinds, And shines The light of the bell, Break the shell, Distractable hell Now follow, Fill the hollow, From the pill you can’t swallow Split the atom, You can’t fathom, What’s on saturn But it’s under your control, Stop the show, Time to know exactly whats at the core It’s a sign, The design, To remind you where you really Are, Not far, but far, No escape in your car Upended, Unhinged, Seeking revenge From the shames, Sorcerer blood in your viens, Is all that remains, Unchained And out the cage, You’ll replay, This life on stage Loopin forever, Think your clever But now it’s unmasked, Shadows past, Water splash In your face from the taker, A prison of your maker Flavor, Don’t savor The taste, A waste, A familiar place, In outer space Coming to fruition, Don’t know what your missin, Just wishin But no hope, Let’s elope, And cough it out your throat Paint the picture, Quilt stitcher, Brain itcher Churning through the recesses, Skip the blessins And tear open the crack, Break your back Climbing, Priming your pump, Don’t jump You gotta scramble, Through the bramble, Can you handle The truth Stop Waiting! Stop Debating! Stop Chasing! Stop Erasing! You can feel it now can’t you What is real and what is not Where you are and where your aren’t Welcome to the beginning Ascend Ascend Ascend Follow me to the finish You’re almost there Almost Almost Running away but you stop The light overtakes you, Remakes you, unshakes you To your essence, The fluorescent Sparkles in charcull The ashes float in the wind, You win, No sin, Time to begin
Idk what it is, but you ever just smile and laugh when you hear something so FUCKING sick. like God daaayum. somtimes give it that real stanky face and a "ooooo shit"
I had polyphia in suffle because I've just discovered them with GOAT and then this song showed up and I said oof, that riff is nasty. Then I saw the name of the song, it made me laugh a little xD
