Ok so i've heard every song once so far from the EP and I've got to say, this is a sound i've never heard before. It's hip hop instrumentals with the progressive technical guitar work that i grew to love playing scales and melodies from hip hop choruses. I'm really digging how bands are starting to branch out and experiment with different sounds such as this. Brings unique influences and potential all around. I'm going through a big shift in life right now and this EP will probably be my anthem to summer 2017. Thank you!!
I wish their guitar technique would be more varied. They have the same sound from album to album, I wish they would've picked up more metal technique from JR on the recent tour they were on. I'd like to hear more evolved guitar tones and techniques from them. THey're still some of the best technicians in the genre though!
Hansol it's probably because Ty Acord produced the album and he has a well established sound of his own in hip hop/ electronic, considering his contribution to Issues music is completely outstanding. He's perfect for Polyphia's latest vision of music. So glad they collaborated. Such talented dudes.
Some amazing guitarists sound like they're wrecking their guitars with monster shreds, Tim Henson make it sounds like he's making the smoothest love to it that anyone has dared to do.
Honestly I think that inside the polyphia fanbase its kind of overrated:/ its just that Im tired of hearing it every time polyphia get mentioned. This song and goat are a perfect example for how good songs can become annoying when overplayed
I love that they make the hook easy to play so you notice it with its simplicity, while the "verses" are so unbelievably insane that you just overlook them because you know they're practically impossible to play. Try to bang them out and put the song at half speed. I bet you all the money I have that you'll give up in 10 minutes of just looking at the intro. Love you, Polyphia.
Too true. I've settled with just learning a riff from each song I like. The intro to Goose, the riff in this song, Scott's outro riff in Icronic etc, So many nice riffs you can choose from, and they're essentially like learning a normal song each.
I actually really dig the electronic implementation. Better than any of your previous releases in my humble opinion. Smart marketing move calling it The Most Hated in anticipation of previous fans getting all pissed off you stopped djenting. So long as you shred and keep it creative, I'm happy as a fan.
True, they haven't officially dj0nted in a grip. Still, the point remains that their base seems to get more and more pissed the further they stray into new territories.
Musicians like Tim Henson have appeared throughout time periodically, if people like Mozart were brought about today instead; it might sound something like this. No matter what genre you might be into you have to appreciate talent where it's due. These guys are ahead of their time.
I’ve been playing guitar for about 13 years self taught and all. I recently discovered Polyphia. New levels new devils and some of these songs or most from this EP really represent what I’ve been wanting to do on guitar. Mixing beats and hip hop with advanced shredding techniques. I’m glad they made this, I’ll be working I what exactly they do to make my own versions. POLYPHIA IS NOW A GENRE!!!!
Every famous version of "Little Wing" got trapped deep in the earth under tons and tons of pressure for years and years, and crystallized into this absolute DIAMOND.
Seeing you say this finally makes it make sense. I def hear it. And its prob why i so deeply love this song. Little wing (hendrix in the west version) is probably my favorite single recording of any song ever.
Guys i think I listened to this song like 1 million times and played it by myself like 5 thousand, honestly for me this is THE song, it's just too beautiful, sometimes when i play the first verse of it i just get stuck in a loop and i could go on forever, IT'S JUST PERFECT, AND MAN THE ENDING PART GOES HARD AF.
Everyone talks about how skilled these guys are, but a neglected part of their music is the simple feelings it can convey. From this song, I get the feeling of a person, who everybody hates for being different. But that person just doesnt give a fuck about others. He is living his life, he isnt bothering others. So be it.
What can I say. This is the ultimate hype track of all time. The way it builds slowly and then drops into the final solo prepares me to enter into hand to hand combat with a fully grown male gorilla. I'm so thankful to be alive at the same time as these guys.
I keep coming back to this song, and I always get chills. Crazy how my favorite song is on The Most Hated EP, and in my opinion the best song is The Worst. I love Polyphia so fucking much!
My 10 years old son recommended this to me 😉. And I still remember my £5 donation on bandcamp when I discovered these guys. Shame they didn’t play this song in London (our last gig pre-pandemic!)
Ive never discovered any bands that matched my personality as much as alice in chains but this song gets the crown for the best (worst lol) feeling ive had of merging perfectly with who i am. Thanks polyphia for being so awesome
@@Kylethepolitician If you want to learn it (matter of fact anything at that), you've got to start slow and build speed. And practice with a metronome, because I know you probably don't.
Seeing myself scared of changes helps me evolve and i like this feeling, this were hard to listen to at first, due to being habituated (can you say habituated? ahahah) to the old sound, but just kept on listening and final word is that i dig this album, good work as usual!
everything is change. you must go with the stream. their old sound is what got me into them just like everyone else, but honestly this is so unlike anything I've heard from bands like Polyphia and it's so cool to see them make this blend work and make it their own.
I created a character based on Polyphia and I wrote his death while listening to The Most Hated, specifically this song. The scene that plays in my mind when I imagine his end and spent time writing about it can't be replayed in my head or read without this song in the background. It just fit so well.
Idk why but this song touched me❤️❤️❤️ I'm your biggest fan.......love all your songs😭......you're my idol and I follow your footsteps ......❤️I'm Lendilong from Nagaland......supporting polyphia❤️
Even with all the amazing things they’ve put out since, this is the album where they found their sound. Always amazing, this song keeps me coming back again and again.
FR this is an amazing song it's bizarre how underrated it is. You can tell they all got the feel with this song when playing it. They all must've enjoyed making this. Everything goes so well in it. (or well at least, I hope all the instruments in this and such are played by the original band members, the drums could be sampled from an external source that isn't polyphia but I doubt it)
exactly man i think this EP is their absolute best work. so much variety in it too from the beats to the guitar phrasings/riffs. it feels like pure magic tbh
i like sound classic music point 1:33 until 2:18 . This be like memory love dance prince with princess but i need power music inside ear like feel so good and cool mind romantic that is coolest awesome more favourite more like it. Good job polyphia. Need creative special note music technical guitar love playing scales and melodies.
I heard people say that they chose to use that as the title of the song and EP respectively because this is where they deviated from their usual djent/prog style and added a bunch of hip hop influences. They thought a lot of djent/prog purists would be upset so they chose to call it that.
Trap beats, technical prog metal guitar overlay, heavily vaporwave aesthetic
Say what you want about them, but these guys are fucking unique.
Djent vapor wave aesthetic trap-core
Other: Modern shred aesthetic
I get math-rock vibes more than anything else.
I'd also say math-rock based guitar riffs in a way more groovy and funky way.
I’ve been looking for a sound like this for years. I’m so glad I found this band
Polyphia is its own genre for sure haha

how is it possible to be this good at guitar and mixing at the same time. dang
I'm sure they're not mixing their own stuff anymore.
@@creatorofdragon still to this day do. They're very particular about their mixing. It's very important to their sound.

Look up Michael Hedges--he does this for acoustic guitar. It's a shame he's super dead, but he was freaking amazing.
I feel like this song is so underrated

You're right, Polyphia is a whole genre by itself. And yes I do believe that you'll achieve your dreams one day. Keep shredding man 👊
Same here lol been playing 11 years self taught and discovered them tonight. I want to play stuff like this too.
Every famous version of "Little Wing" got trapped deep in the earth under tons and tons of pressure for years and years, and crystallized into this absolute DIAMOND.
I'm so glad someone else heard the SRV / Little Wing vibe
exactly! I always think of Little Wing when I hear this
Seeing you say this finally makes it make sense. I def hear it. And its prob why i so deeply love this song. Little wing (hendrix in the west version) is probably my favorite single recording of any song ever.
That's it! I kept thinking this sounds familiar! 👌
That song is what you call a show closer. I've only recently started listening to this band and I'm blown away by them and their sound.
This is one of the most underrated songs on the album you cant change my mind

me too dude, this song is ironically the worst but by far my fave. the grooves just hit so hard.
it's honestly their best song
This is literally the song that got me into polyphia. This and transcend
This song is a story in itself...total feels.
Everyone talks about how skilled these guys are, but a neglected part of their music is the simple feelings it can convey. From this song, I get the feeling of a person, who everybody hates for being different. But that person just doesnt give a fuck about others. He is living his life, he isnt bothering others. So be it.
1:47 is where he's just like. "screw it, let things be as they want to be and imma be who i want to be"
I think that person you're thinking about is me.
This is my new favorite song. Not even like a contest this is it
6/8 shuffle, smooth af. Goddam I love these guys!
Such an underrated band in an underrated genre of music. These guys are such a unique collection of talent. Big fan of all of their material
fortunately they grew out of being underrated over the years!
Gotta hand it to you guys, you know how to write a great song with a groove no matter how you do it
This whole EP flows so god damn well! Still a masterpiece after 6 years.
you could catch a fish with that hook I swear. Mmm so funkin tasty

My favourite on the EP. It keeps playing in my head early in the morning.

If this is The Wost, I cant even imagine how good The Best is
This song is such a vibe
so true kate
So Hendrix, yet so unique. These guys actually created something new.

This song to me is the soundtrack of someone who was mistreated somewhere, so they left and bettered themselves beyond what they thought was possible.
