If you love guitar you must love this song

[Techdeth]

Don’t ignore it . It’s catchy and the Jason Richardson solo is great .

It’s so melodic

 

[inyarak74]

Wrong

No, but I do love this song:

 

[bubucci]

bore-core. Genderless elevator music

 

[Techdeth]

What’s wrong with it ? It’s literally dudes jamming .

If it had been another band besides Polyphia, more people might have given it a chance....but it's Polyphia, ergo, the hatred.

 

[chrisgr]

I'm not feeling it. They are definitely talented players but pretty boring song to me.

Personally I find the hook irritating, and while I'd have to listen a couple more times to be sure, the song doesn't seem to have a cohesive narrative with the possible exception of the guest solo.

Saw Polyphia here last fall. Great show and playing.

 

[NorCal_Val]

It’s got technique, but no torque.
“Technique-core”.

Yes . I mean what is wrong with it ?

 

[Techdeth]

No, but I do love this song:

I love that too . It’s ok to like evil black metal and thought of as gay shred . Both are great

The drummer has serious skills but was a damn nuisance. His pants probably don't even have a pocket. It makes everything, which was already super busy even more busy, which ultimately was distracting and irritating. And the first portion the guitar sounded like a dude who wanted to be Mark Knopfler trying to use in between strat sound on a metal tone. That was bad. After that it was like a bad version of Lari Basilio which I guess was a little better, sort of. It was like metal music without any heaviness, just a full frontal assault of a bunch of angry fem bees in a empty beer can chucked into my face. The collective improvisation feel sucks in the metal genre, just my opinion. Massive technique on all fronts with absolutely zero taste and those outfits reflect it. Go play that shit in your practice space.

It’s ok to like evil black metal and thought of as gay shred

Agreed.

Both are great

Disagree. At least in this particular instance.

It sounds nerdy AF. It also sounds like the approach was, “let’s recycle some John Petrucci style melodies but instead of using JP’s heavy tones, let’s make our instruments sound as wimpy as possible”.

 

[shredi knight]

In all honesty, I found that to be annoying as fuck.

Yeah, it reminded me of Petrucci's "Happy Song", but with all the joy sucked out.

 

[DanTravis62]

That was terrible


I'm glad @7704A posted Emperor so I could clear my palette and not get AIDS

 

[cardinal]

That was a lot of notes laid on top of each other.

All the licks in the one song would be better spread across four or five songs each with a much more simple hook or two.

 

[braintheory]

I don't have anything against Polyphia or this style (good is good), but I didn't hear a single musical idea in that song that was memorable or evocative. It just sounded like they're trying to show what they can do as players without really caring about the composition
