Something everyone misses, me included, is that each guitarist got their time on “The Throne” but it doesnt quite hit you till you see Vai on it. Definitely a whole different vibe seeing him on that chair though….give me chills.

I have to say, as a new fan and someone who found them on my own, I didn't know Tim was such a big deal when I viewed their work from afar. The Clay holds the band together, and Scott does alot of what Tim does in the videos. Just an opinion.

Compositionally tim really is finding a way to write these songs with a more distinctive melody for people to follow without losing their dna.

Vai has a finger shifting technique that does make it sound like it's double tracking, that's what you heard when he came in.... After that he's playing was very complementing to the song, not overshadowing the boys, just adding his style. Awesome track

@@Castleromeo14 this is the last song on the album, but since the first song features brasstracks, it could flow pretty well back to the beginning

The song structure is abababc The main riff motif is A) They all have a nuance change to what they play... Following the chord structure while reiterating riff componants. The soft part is B) This is their soloist expression. Still following the chord structure. By expressing their own preferences. C: begins with vais second solo The chord structure adjusts and all instruments merge sonically up until they all drop for the trumpet outro. 😊

If you love the emotion on Scotty's solo - You have to listen to their first 2 LP's 1) Muse & 2) Renaissance. The songs are all made of the melodic feeling style in so many creative ways. This solo was a blast back to the past.

As someone who's listened to Polyphia for a long time. I thought the same thing when New Levels New Devils came out. It took time but it grew on me I don't like my favorite bands changing too drastically but Polyphia seems to find a way to change and evolve but keep their spirit and get better.

This song, felt like it was Scotty's song rather than Tim's and I loved every second of it! Polyphia is truly an amazing band with immense individual talents. I am glad they all came together to form Polyphia. Pure eargasm!

Great reaction! I like seeing all the members having their moment in the song where they can be featured because they are all such great musicians! I think they have gotten better! It’s everything. Their playing skills and how the songs are being designed. I think this is a great place for them to land. I love their other music but some of it Is not something you can listen to over and over doing just about anything. Driving, work around the house or what ever. I have already listened to: Playing God and Ego Death more than all their music combined. And, I am a huge fan. G.O.A.T. Was my introduction and hooked me. The OD, Nasty, Goose. So many good ones. But this new stuff is just next level stuff. It’s music I can jam to while still containing who they are. It’s just incredible. I have listened to this song 20 times today and it’s only 11:30 A.M. atm. Tim probably doesn’t want to hear my description but I don’t know how else to say it. It’s like ear candy. All the crazy technical stuff (which is so tasty) on top of a groovy kind of melody that you can just listen to over and over. The thumping, finger tapping, ghost and harmonic notes. Their songs have a lot of texture. It’s all out in a blender but executed in an amazing way. It’s ridiculous. They are my favorite band. Tasty!

Love the reaction bro, keep it up!

@@samuraikaito yep. Ibanez Xiphos

Bro how amazing it must have felt to play back to back to back with three guitar gods

imagine being like a huge brasstracks fan and having not seen that he features on the unreleased first song of the album. i would lose my shit at the end of the song if that was me since he doesnt explicitly feature on ego death

Even in the Hirachy of Top Polyphia Song This Will Remain on Top for a Year i guess.

I believe the guitar Scott is playing is an Ibanez (obvs) Xiphos XPT700XH, possibly an XPT700XH-BKF (to be as specific as possible). They were made from 2009-2014 and I believe that one MIGHT be from 2013. Seems like the guys were playing around with old Ibanez guitars quite a bit on this one as Tim has already told the story about how they asked Ibanez to make them the nylon strings they're using on the new album (based on an older evidently very UNsuccesful model - it's in this video starting at 3:59 kzread.info/dash/bejne/lWmNo9CIYdSZe5M.html )

Great reactions and breakdowns. On Vai's solo, he is not double tracking, but he is doing a technique called 'joint shifting' that he invented. It's essentially bending 2 strings at the same time often in different directions getting 2 bent tones at the same time. Love your energy. Subbed ☮

It wasnt double tracked, that's his finger shifting style. On finger bends how and a second bends while the first returns to original note.

I would love to hear a Polyphia / Jeff Beck colab.
