I apologize for the audio. I streamed on twitch by accident and used those gate settings so the voices dropped out. Just wanted to put this here so people don’t keep drawing attention to my bonehead mistake! Lol

yeah came to say this. They will appreciate seeing tim play that ending sequence that is insanity

I'm glad you pointed out the progression and compared it to ego death. So this is the 2nd song of the album and ego death is the last one. I feel like there's a loose theme, especially when you look at the names of some of the songs "Genesis", "Playing God", "The Audacity", "Memento Mori", "All Falls Apart", "Ego Death" - It almost seems like there's a theme regarding hubris but I don't think it's anything worth reading into too much. Only real reason I started questioning if that was the case, was because they opened the album with Brasstracks (the guy playing trumpet) and the album ends with him too...probably overthinking it, still interesting tho.

I love the way you guys analyze and compliment their music! ❤I am a new subscriber and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Thank you! ⚔️🖤⚔️

Wow. First video I’ve seen from you both and I absolutely loved your review!! Incredibly intelligent commentary that can only be given by real musicians or artists. As a drummer myself, it’s the type of commentary I crave when I get to watch people enjoy their songs for the first time. Also you both are funny. Excellent work. Hope this sees many viewers!!! 🔥🔥🔥

They've got some heavy songs in their new album too, like Bloodbath ( Dimabag Darrell type solo) and Chimera ( mix of hip hop and 8 string metal chugs)

They definitely have heavier songs, this was a complete departure as their first release off their latest album. Check out OD, chimera, aviator, goat for a few!!

That great observation about the raindrop sound with the classical style picking and about the intertwining melody through the song. I love that about them. It's like the melody travels through the band members, with different instruments, and even intentional silences, taking the point of the music for a moment. It's kind of groundbreaking in my mind, or at least I have never been exposed to this level of mathematical complexity blended with a very high level of talent and excellent musical sensitivity. If you go through the history of their evolution it's pretty fun. Teenage metal, speed techno-emo, rapcore, metal, feels like so much Jazz and Classical goes in here and the drummer and bass player are phenomenally good. Love these guys and excited to see them getting better in the future. Thanks for the great reaction. Got a new subscriber here.

Should watch your audio levels, the guy on the right keeps getting cut off :(

Yeah long story, but I hit the wrong button and streamed on Twitch by accident with a noise gate engaged. And the threshold was set too low. Haha

You guys should really watch G.O.A.T. Its one of their older ones so you can hear Tim before tattoos, lol but yeah...highly recommend.

Enjoying your breakdowns. Polyphia got a very eclectic catalog. Started as a death metal band, went through a more shreddy period and have consistently dropped the distortion on the 6 string songs but kept it on the 7 and 8 string songs. Have some great guest guitarists like Ichika, Jason Richardson(who's got an epic 3mn solo on Natsy), Mateus Asato, Yvette Young,... and each of those songs they're able to capture the sound of those artists while still sounding like Polyphia. Most people start with GOAT then OD, can't go wrong with them. My personal favorite is Culture Shock.

Guy on the right looks like young Guthrie Govan :D

Really enjoying your Polyphia reactions!!

Thank you!

oh you guys needs to check out the unplugged playthrough of tim

Could you guys check out the song GOAT by polyphia please?

"Tree of death" inlay

The second section chord progression is 12 measures, with a modulation on the 4th degree in the 5th measure, ending with the 5th degree (dominant 7th) resolving on the 1st degree in the last 4 measures. It's a blues chord progression, in E minor. On a latin jazz/bossa nova flavor arrangement

Yeah

Awesome analysis 👌

Tim's version of inlay is Tree of Death

thank you guys

Yeah… you gotta watch Tim Hensons studio play through on this ! Freaking amazing.

a segunda parte da música é inspirada em bossa nova, um ritmo brasileiro, a banda já comentou isso numa entrevista

I feel like I've listened to music for 45+ years just so I could better appreciate all of the different shit that polyphia tries to pull off over the course of their catalog.

periphery- reptile

That's signature ibanez nylon string guitar. Ibanez tod10n

I love your reactions as somewhat of a musician myself. Shame about the noise gate though. Do more Polyphia reactions please.

You guys this is not ground breaking stuff. What I'm seeing is a modern spin on the Jazz Fusion Flamenco stuff that Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia were doing among many others. I that love it's got everyone's attention.

I’m very familiar with the Friday night in San Francisco stuff! Also grew up drumming to mahavishnu orchestra! 🤘I think there are differences as far as the playing techniques but of course these guys don’t have the depth of guys like Holdsworth and Ben Monder from the new breed of jazz players.

Not sure you can analyze them with conventional rules. These guys don't have lyrics/singing, so the instruments have to add that in. Less chance for classic rhythmic stuff and let's face it, having that kind of variability is kind of their style.

Pausing WAY too much.

Not cool pausing so many times 😡 killed my vibe 😤
