Love these guys. Not sure if half the features work for me, but crucially everything else is creative and impeccably written and preformed.

They should have left out Fuck Around And Find Out and Chimera, then it would have been better to listen to

I think this was more of the direction they were trying to go with when they did Renaissance

>>>Bummed they didnt have many guitar features on this, seriously no Plini, Aaron Marshall, Sithu Aye...? kinda blows, but oh well.



That's what I'm saying! Polyphia used to include A-A-ron Marshalls and Jason Richardson in more than one song. They were more of a voice for the technical guitar scene.



But hey, that Chino feature, am I right?

True, they could do one with him, or Misha, or Nick Johnston, or anyone from Arch Echo, or Berried Alive, or Chon, or Herman Lee, or Lee Mckinney, or Stephen Taranto.

Herman Li on a Polyphia track would be a fucking sight to behold. I'm all for it tbh.



they dont want Plini on a track because he will write circles around them.

Man, the Chino feature is such a missed opportunity

we gotta ban rock bands from using 808 samples my god

I disagree with your opinion about Chino.. I personally think he made the song so much better. However, I did dislike a lot of the other features. And while I think the ABC track is catchy, I dont think it should have been on the album. It should have been released as a standalone

@Hyperion I think you misunderstand what Polyphia is doing. They dont consider themselves a metal or rock band. They use trap/hip hop beats as a core for their new songs.. and then their drummer writes his own stuff over top. I didn't like it at first until I heard the version of Neurotica without real drums

I just wanted the first track. I love any song with brass, so I knew featuring Brasstracks was going to be a hit with me.

100% okay with these guys taking a little bit of a backseat to some vocal artists. Love the diversity here. Last album banged, but the variety here is greater

"Man, the Chino feature is such a missed opportunity"



the dude is like Bruce Willis at this point; he'll do anything for a bit of coin. anything i hear him on these days, he just sounds bored and approaches any song exactly the same.



he's bad on here

They actually are in the groovy side of guitar wanks so you might expect some bobbling heads

Hard disagree about the songwriting point you made compared to their peers. Sure they write original stuff but I would saying their songwriting is less accessible than someone like Plini or Chon or Ichiko, most notably on this album.



Just because you throw 808s and a rapper on top doesn’t mean it’s automatically accessible.

didnt listen, 1/5
