You guys looking for a triangle player?
Bruh😂
😂
I play a mean kazoo maybe we can sell them on a duo
I can do the silence
they would somehow find a way to make triangle challenging lmao
Man Scottie straight up killed it on this album all his guitar parts are killer
yea, he really stepped it up on this album ;)
everyone killed it.
The distorted tone sounds horrible though, in all songs. Dunno how it went through.
@@wannabeserpento99 you sound very dumb commenting on a polyphia song about distortion
@@wannabeserpento99 I mean this in the kindest way possible. You're very wrong lol. I suspect you need to get more into heavy music or get better speakers/headphones because you're clearly missing it.
What a backbone the drummer brings, the guy is insane.
Yeah....( i havent learned their names beyond knowing tim and scott) he kills every track
@@dxdraiba7604 the other 2 are both named clay so that should be easy to remember
The thing I most like about it is it's not just technically proficient, there's a certain soul to it that most other prog rock drummers sort of miss.
Brandon was worlds better imo. Sad he left when he did.
Impeccable fills, absolutely amazing
Synthesizing an 808 with an actual kick and bass and playing metal riffs over it??? That’s was fucking dope bro
Pleasant as fuck
@@Paul-jp8zz Oh sweet. Thanks!!
@@galadhonx9825 Also on Rick Beato's channel, "What Makes This Song Great? Ep.103 Polyphia "G.O.A.T." - Tim is again with him one on one explaining his playing. pretty cool
Dude has an 808 on the drumkit they're not pausing to do a drop mid riff. They're amazing but let's not act like they're pure analog, this isn't the 70s
@@warlordjr.jr. I don’t really care if the 808 and sidechain compression are built into the drum kit or if they just added it in during post-processing. It’s still dope
This made me realize that I need a Polyphia track with Posty. And it's pretty insane to think that it doesn't even sound that farfetched anymore.
fuck yes
Ye
It needs to happen. Like ASAP.
This needs to happen!
Well THATS something I didn't know I needed u til now
God damn. When Tim said on the podcast that he's just waiting on Scott to finish the rest of his parts I didn't expect them to hit so hard
got a goons kinda dude here. nice.
Same
Yea it’s been a year since he’s been on the Goons podcast
@@safwanjaton422 Of course man. Who's your favorite member of the goons?
Maybe but song still sucks
When Scotty is like "But...let me play metal!"
Clay is just a madman on those drums. Such tight intervals for those fills and he just hits the damn mark with every strike.
I gotta say tho, live is a different story. You definitely hear the flaws clearly. That being said, it’s extremely difficult to play regardless.
I remember when polyphia was just a small band no one really knew and seeing them at a small show here in Texas forever ago but it's so awesome to see how much they progress I love y'all!!🤍
Every band needs to start somewhere. I do agree with you though. It's really cool to see a band just starting out to gain a large following and be successful.
Completely agree! Watched them for the first time in the UK alongside Intervals in a small rock bar. Now they’re playing an O2 venue next year which I’ve bought tickets to!
No you don’t, quit cappin’
Kinda miss the old style with all legit instruments and no trapbeats. But this is what sells I guess
@@DingleDut It's what they want to do artistically. They haven't "sold out" in any sense of the word. Their sound is still authentically Polyphia, it's just that they've pivoted away from the djenty prog sound they had in the days of their debut EP
I can’t wait till I have kids and show this to them and are all like dad this is old people music
LOL, I'm often curious what music will sound like in 10-20 years. My 10yo is OBSESSED with Polyphia though!
I have 4 little girls and they all like polyphia lol
Family guitar budget is going to get really pricey!
My 8yo loves polyphia🤘🏽
@@XmemphistoX oof
Can't listen to Polyphia without some kind of bass boost now, once you get boosted Gober you never go back.
Gober is an amazing talent. Dude can shred guitar like a boss and not many people know it
@@P34V3Y7 he's a basist
@@lukeskywalker514 ….I know but I’ve seen him shred
Dude, for sure. I have to use buds. I took a fucking gamble on a US brand, STATUS and holy fucking shit. 3 drivers work! Them shits sound like you are in the fucking studio. It's crazy. Status clearly has a new triple driver platform all their shit works on now. It sounds RETARDEDly good. I have the BETWEEN PROS, them shits... Dude, it's not even a thing. For fucking real, every other pud I stuck up in there, sounds like all bassey or tinney, these shits are balanced. Straight up. BEATS is dogshit, RayCon IS a CON -- it's in the fuckin name bro. I've had these motherfuckers for a minute and goddamn it, I guess the only bad part is how it uses the case to trigger bluetooth connections. That pisses me off. But christ, the sound is about as good as is humanly possible. Fuck, it's good. I just bought the original Korn album on vinyl and I'm gonna stream that over bluetooth. Yes, I need pills, I get it. But it's gonna sound dope af.
@@P34V3Y7 Clay A can also shred aswell. both of them are the shit fr
Who ever did the mix on the drums deserve an award! Pure crisp gold
The mix on the whole song is crazy
i LOVE that they're bringing back some heavy shit for this album
I'm sure you're already aware, but the end of Bloodbath is particularly top-notch in this regard.
@@Bisquick my face is in disgusted when I hear Scott's solo. That shit is just perfectly put together
@@TheMessage25 when your face is so disgusted by the music that your english breaks.
@@thoriqzulkarnain4114 you're Kool. Go find an activity
the whole band really got to shine on this album and it sounds incredible
Clay G. as well, they all killed it
Idk about the drumming tho
this is why i admire them they do not discriminate other artist, don't restrict themselves and wasn't afraid experimenting+collabing with other artists+genre w/c resulting to more interesting creativity for both & producing fresher style+sounds
lol Yeah they literally did a feature with a trumpet player on their song Genesis lol and a weird jazz fusion song with a music producer/keyboard player/DJ on their song The Audacity.
polyphia takes a lot of influence from hiphop
"as long as it slaps, put it in" is a mentality all musicians should have
Literally one of the most important bands of our time. LONG LIVE POLYPHIA!
Is it just me or does it kinda look like Clay is holding Tim’s arm lol
Who's grabbin' who....
Not you only.
Lol
LMAO
True love
This album feels like a final chapter almost. The old polyphia's almost djent sound combined with the newer catchy riffs based on rap music with a rapper as feature. These guys just keep on giving
The riffs don't sound new to me, they're very flamenco based.
@@holliswilliams8426 i think they mean new in terms of polyphia history
I like how polyphia stands in this song as the main figure, and the rapping from lil west is as how one places vinegar in food. It's just enough to give it that contrasting taste
This was very well played
Beautiful and very thought provoking comparison "lil west is as how one places vinegar in food". Love that line even if his verse or feature isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Nah. The rapping sucks, it doesn't belong. Then again, it's not my music and they can obviously do whatever they want. I'm just saying that's when I turn this song off.
W est not one of tha street niggaz!
I don't know about the rapping part. I like it, but it sounds like an afterthought within the context of the song, and I kinda feel bad for Lil West. I feel the same about Look But Don't Touch and its feature, Lewis Grant.
It's my favorite part of the song. Especially when he's singing. It goes well with the guitar playing.
This song kinda feels like Tim and Scot having a rap battle but with guitars. The way the go's back and forth between them.
Scott went beast mode on this album. Love it
Now I want a full version of Yellow Submarine 😂
Yeah was really hoping they'd finish the remix
I dont get it?
@@DayTreaper on the chimera video release stream they had time to spare so they tried remixing a part of yellow submarine in the last 7 mins of the stream
@@raulsaldivar3057 they were going hard fr
do you have a link?
This on paper would have looked weird, reality this one of the dopest songs I’ve heard for a while.
"I've got an Idea. It starts with a flamenco guitar part, then Scott you go djent djent djent, and after a groovy interlude we throw a rap verse in there"
-Tim Henson 2022
Polyphia, you're changing the meta of how guitars are played. About time someone did🗿
Polyphia is like a bridge between pop fans and rock fans. I'm glad to know them.
There was a heavy hip hop stuff on that song :D
Rap in the song? Good thing you didn't mention it as it's underwhelming
@@benoittakamine7167 HUH
@@rarecromALT Do you like the generic 2022 autotuned electronic rap into this track?
@@Hillslayer What makes it electronic? Also, most rock/rap singers have been autotuned since like 2000-2005. Not all of it is immediately noticable. So, yeah, the cadence and the delivery of the vocals make the verse really cool, especially the mix too.
For real one of the best "sound check" songs ever made for DJ's.
1:59 bro that tapping part is so good
I can dig how they made it basically half instrumental and then changed gear halfway through, yet kept the same, but a different vibe. \m/
like a chimera, multiple heads
@@djangosmissingfingers i want multiple heads😉
the rapping was too basic and boring, didn't fit the instumental, no emotion at all
@@TMPOUZI You know, when you understand any kind of psychology you learn that when someone spouts out anything hateful, the specifics of the hate are reflected by their own subconscious failures in order to try and level the playing field...
@@InkcorperatedMusic ok Mr Froyd jr, not being hateful, just my honest review, cope with it
Tim's custom acoustic guitar is so beautiful. Love this dark design.
You by chance know wtf the shiny overlays they have on the are?
@@tazeylazeysr6400 sorry, i have no idea, but It looks so dope.
@@tazeylazeysr6400 from what I've seen it's just a custom cover that they got custom made from an artist. Underneath is just the tod10n
All the instruments were wearing "armor" during this album
One has to listen this with some quality headphones! It is incredible!
Oh yes, as it always is
I thought it was pretty credible actually
My headphones are OTW now lol I'm so pumped
With a HiFi DAC+AMP it's next level
Might want to grab the album and rip it into a lossless quality too, youtube isn't doing it justice.
they keep getting better and better, i'm scared
I love how unique and out there their soundstyle is. Meshes together so well.
Extra cool because each of them definitely has their own style too. You can hear a distinct difference between Scottie and Tim for example, but they mesh together so well it's astounding
@@TStizzle19 Withe the Tim/Scott thing, I didn’t notice so much when I first started listen around 2019. But now when I hear the slidey low end solos I know it’s the MVP Scottie!
That's literally why they're called "Polyphia"
We are witnessing greatness. They will be in the history books forever, legends.
Not this song
GOAT should be. I think that’s biggest non vocal song ever dropped.
chill
And we're alive in this moment for it.. I absolutely agree.n
I would invest way more time in history classes if this was what we were learning
Dang this is so dope I’m obsessed and probably being weird banging my head in the library while revising for midterms BUT IDC DAMN MASTERPIECE I SAID MASTERPIECE
Well said, freaking masterpiece
Yer mum is masterpiece
You are not alone and library is probably better than workplace lol!
The gym is a great place for this “MASTERPIECE”
weirdo alert! weirdo alert!!!
Hello I'm new and finally I'm not late. Usually I find good stuff three to six years later but I'm here now and enjoying this amazing piece of work. So happy to be alive to see this!
Lol
They are litteraly uploading shit every f ing day and it's amazing
These guys are one major hit away from changing the way rap and rock can blend forever, I can feel it. Maybe that's what they mean by Chimera? A blend of two creatures, two genres.
Edit: My zoomer ass offended some boomers/ older millennials with my wording. I know this has already been done to some degree. What I MEANT is that this brand of Math Rock has never been so mainstream and I would love to see them get popular enough to infect MODERN rap/trap, since it all sounds the same. Imagine an Eminem or Drake song with them backing it!
There are 3 genres in the song: classical/flamenco, rock/metal, and rap.
ahhh never thought about it that way!
@@chrisboccia chimera is a mix of 3 animals
@@carinae2035 Not strictly. A chimera is a blend of 2 or more species. In Greek mythology, a chimera is a combination of a lion, a goat, and a snake (which happens to be 3).
We used to call it fusion at a time but yeah this track brings the genre to another level
Lyrics:
Good girl in a costume
It’s your world when I’m witchoo
Forever witchoo like a tattoo
I paint a picture in a bad mood
She feel the breeze like a parachute
I got cheese, get a pair of shoes
Big body need alotta room
She keep callin’ when I’m never home
Ill be watchoo need low key
On your ends i can see everything that you went through-oooo
Ill be your tool i can fix you-oooo
Even If I lose itll be nothing new-oooo
She call news that im old school?
It’s my rules when i make moves?
I make it rain like a monsoon
My new deck it’ll come soo-hoooon?
Last night was the best ride since when i came out to the west side?
If she coming wit me she can hit me with her back side
She can be my misses gimme kisses on my bed side?
Low key we’ll be getting high-eye(high)
You wanna leave but there’s no more rye-hide(ride)
Hold me I’m a low life????
No need cause I’m gonna rise
I never expected a lyrics man on a polyphia song
I think they’re meaningless. Hate that i hate but the song dumbed down A LOT by that segment. The song really didn’t need lyrics that mention some girl? Who the fuck cares lmao. Ass.
I listen to this when my black metal friends aren't around
Probably my favorite track on the album, that opening riff is addictive as hell and the metal meets hip hop vibe comes together so cleanly.
This has to be one of the greatest Polyphia songs of all time
Every polyphia song is greatest
This album is packed with great songs, they're just getting better and better
@@kittatro Tim’s gotten soooo much better over the years it’s actually insane
This one is by far my favourite too, I've listened to this song at least a thousand times
Agreed!
I love this song! Bloodbath too with Chino. Nobody can touch this band right now! As soon as somebody gets close, they go in the studio and come out with a track like this one. Dope dope dope dope dope!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Eiiezc si dive e de cc CCC c fa i ce. O eei.h 🙏t.M..
Something so mesmerizing about this song. Perfect blend of heavy electric and nylon
3:33 They upgraded Scottie's nose💀
😭
Was looking for this comment. Dudes got a schnoz
I really want to see Tim's 8 string guitar
i bet its scotty playing it
@@adamoz0004 You're right. I listened again, and now I think Scottie will play 8 string, and Tim will play nylon.
@@manuelsaenz6424 didnt realize it was an 8 string. figured probably 7 string. but it sounds similar to look but dont touch so youre probably right
@@theenlightenedone5429 Yes, the first electric guitar notes sounds very low. But also, in one video, I guess Abc solo from Scottie, he has like four guitars on the wall: the gold top one, the seven strings that appear in Ego Death, and also an 8 string, so I suppoused that they will present a video with an 8 string guitar, and this is the closest one. It's a great opportunity for them and Ibanez to promote this kind of guitars, haha. I never thought I would like to have a 7 or 8 string until I hear and want to play this songs.
@@manuelsaenz6424 It's actually Fredrik Thordendal's signature (Meshuggah)
Confirmed! Polyphia sold their souls for God Tier Virtuosity!
You guys are the ish.
The riffs in this song really capture the beastly vibe of a chimera.
Polyphia, not only making Guitars relevant again but re-inventing the art of shredding.
I'm confused about what in what they do is re-invention, most of it is either djent or sounds very flamenco based.
@@holliswilliams8426 You could argue the same for early shredders, that they just combined Neo-classical elements into Rock and started playing faster. I'm just happy that Polyphia 'shreds' in a genre fluid manner without focusing too much on labels and their norms.
This album is a blast to listen to. Incredible performances from everyone.
I have been listening to you guys since your first album and this album kinda makes all the other albums feel a bit outdated. Not that I don't love them, but this one is on a whole new level.
Scammers should fuck right the fuck off.
Come on, NLND and Renaissance blow this one out of the water by miles.
@@protestmyhero5613 Your opinion. Mine is mine.
This is God-level playing. Truly, absolutely UNBELIEVABLE
One could say it’s like Playing God
Satanic level
Um no. Is it very skilled playing? Yes. However as someone who is 42 and listened to all sorts of bands and different styles drumming and guitars I can guarantee that you have never heard certain bands. First of all when you get about 6 minutes in to Pantera's studio version of domination, that is something that you have to turn up consistently every time that Riff starts. Then you have bands like morgion. And cradle of filth. And you absolutely cannot discount Fear Factory the remanufacture album when it comes to bass because that shit what blow you away. And you have bands like satyricon. I can go on and on. And I am not saying these things as though I'm coming down on you or anyone that enjoys this because it was good however broaden your horizons because it's all been done before many many times and a lot of people never go back and look at what started these bands. A lot of people go back and look and find other bands that they think are even more incredible than the one they previously adored. Expand your horizons
@@sgtfluffy718 just because you can’t appreciate new music doesn’t mean no one else is allowed to
@@sgtfluffy718 🤓
I thought clay was holding Tim's hand in the photo. Had to look twice. Lol
This song is so good I don't even know what to say! Polyphia just keeps evolving and you can hear it everytime.
They just need a tiny bit of 'soul' and 'feel' but that will come with experience, perhaps.
i hope they don't just keep doing 'this' all the time;- i'm not really autistic enough to listen to a whole album of people trying to sound like they're programmed by 'A.I.'.

It's nice trap flamenco, but a bit sterile for me.
I love how this chimera 3D vision is inspired by William Blake's "The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun"
Been listening to lil west for years so crazy to see him pop up in a polyphia song he needs to blow up already
One thing I love about this band is the fact that they're very consistent. A major issue I've had with metal bands over the years is inconsistency and poor social media presence
What other bands are inconsistent? I’m not hating or anything, just curious…
CHON for example 😭 and I love those guys but where they been
@@BHPOfficial their record label screwed them over so they weren't making much money so they're trying to wait out their contract. or something like that
Are Polyphia still considered a metal band? (Honest question; I don't know the genre well.)
@@lwcarr3879 not really. They've shifted more to prog rock. Still great, but not really the same genre.
This song is soo hypnooootiiics.. the ambience of this song, the accoustic feel, the drum ans bass werks and scottie jobs is mezmerizing
Damn this is great. The contrast in Scotts and Tims sound is awesome and I really dig Scotts parts. And both drums and bass are unbelieveble... the timing, the attack, the power... what a foundation for the guitar players.
For a second I thought it's "Feat. Lil Wayne"... please make one with him playing a guitar solo.
This is honestly the direction I saw Polyphia heading towards a while ago, and it's fantastic!! Steve Vai one track, lil West the next?! And it all works phenomenally... bravo dudes, bravo 👏
It gets better and better. Polyphia is creating an unstoppable musical universe.
Are we not going to talk about Scottie's bejewled nose?
That opening riff was so beefy 🥩
In the making of video of the song, Playing God off this album Tim mentions a band called Alluvial. I bought their newest album, Sarcoma and it really just blew me away. I’m not the biggest death metal fan but these guys all bring it. One of the best metal albums I’ve heard in the last few years.
I just saw Alluvial with animals as leaders recently! super cool guys, meet them at the merch stand and got them to sign my Sarcoma CD! Phenomenal show!
@@fyrea Seriously! I only recently got introduced to them earlier this year and I'm so glad I got to see them play already. The guys were hanging out at the bar during car bomb briefly. I was chilling up on the balcony behind the sound guy.
I love that Scott is doing all the more shreddy, metal solos this album
So much talent in one band almost unheard of
It keeps getting better after every listening, damn.
Watching the playthrough elevates it even higher.
They need to get a better a drummer tho
The black and white fits perfectly. Sick video. Also, I love the juxtaposition of the vocals and the 8-strings.
Am I the only one who got suggested here while listening to the song “Sayo- Ndrangheta “ ??
"I got cheese get a pair of shoes" sounds like a toejam problem
Clay (drummer) has some of the most amazing fills EVER
As much as I loved the club show ... I can't wait to see the arena tour.
One day ☝️
Those little "omega low tune guitar" traks are always incredible and i just love to find those special tracks in a new release of polyphia. they are quite rare and exceptional but damn it had so much chunk and power to it. i have been so much impressed when listening the album at the firts low notes of Chimera and Bloodbath cause i knew what it was about! and damn i love those two songs! So much love to you guys, RTYWD is a classic
This song so lit, that my sleep paralysis demon wakes me up at 3 am to jam to this banger!!
scottie's tone in this is unreallll. He sniffs out the best tones
I love how this song is labelled as explicit on YT Music despite not having any swearing
The ending to this track is absolutely mind blowing
Really y’all think so? I think the first half is sick and the second half is meh. I guess it just shows everyone’s taste is a lil different
@@hadenmoser7242 I think if Lil West had better lyrics and bars, it would have been way cooler
@@VicSellsPeace true the lyrics could be better but his flow combined with the insane instrumental sounds pretty cool
@@VicSellsPeace ... do you mean: if he had more talent, (or they chose someone else), then it would have been way cooler?
If so, i agree. He was a dumb choice.
@@synisterfish Basically haha. Idk Lil West too well, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt
The shredding guitars are one hell of a thing for sure, but that MASSIVE Bass and its presence in the mix take this song to an upper level for me, alongisde the godly drums, very rhytmical
When i first heard some Polyphia, I did not know rock could sound so chill like that
Monumental album. They are doing what nu tried to do in 00s and many shredders in 10s failed miserably - to bring instrumentals to masses. Unique composing style that works brilliantly.
Yep, such an acomplishment
Honestly never really understood the appeal of 8 string guitars until approx 0:18 of this song, when all was revealed to me
We seriously need more of this
Facts
My favourite song off the album, each part is perfect! feel like its underrated
Loving the nylon features on this album! This may have been my favorite riff to cover 😎
polyphia is getting better and better, i bet they will one day be known as the best prog band
Already are lmao
@@Shmicah1235 seconded
Well that day is today lol
I think you misspelled hip-hop
@@BobbyxRevolution they're not hip-hop. They're fusion metal realistically
Where was Lil West during all of my life?
Please send him back there and don't let him come back
this is the best way for polyphia to do features let tim and scott do their thing and then the features has a verse
It's nice to see Scott is shredding to his hearts content, bring tears to my eyes
I love these 8 string sounds
Polyphia makes magic with those strings and drums
Best discovery I’ve made in recent history
This reminds me of the electric cello stuff i learned in college. Very jazzy and dark. Gonna have this one stuck in my head for hours. ❤
I was blown away when I saw this album's guests. They just do whatever they want, and it's always brilliant. These guys are unreal.
the switch from latino guitar to djent is just so tasty
Waittt isn't that Frederick's signature Scott's using ?!!?!?!?
Where has this been all my life. GOD why haven't you put this band in my life before!
This absolutely SLAPPED. Every single note Scottie played was absolutely disgusting in the best way possible. Not a huge fan of featuring rap but it wasn't bad at all. As far as the instrumentals... simply blown away. Would love to see more of this heaviness!
no offense, but i think featuring rap makes their songs fuller and more cohesive, their songs are already structured how hip hop beats are, it seemed natural. I just think this style of rapping doesn’t fit it, i feel like more agressive rappers would fit nicer
@@gezi0752 I feel like Denzel or Pouya would be a good fit for a Polyphia collab for whatever reason
@@Milklord47 true
No man, let's add Eminem in this equation please.
THIS SONG THOOOOO. What a combo. Yet again have masterfully chosen people to collaborate with and they’re so willing to try new genres and styles. It’s just incredible and so inspiring. Thank you for this 🙏🏼
One of their best and most badass tracks. It's going in my workout playlist for sure.
best 8 string riff ive ever heard
Ah my favorite track on the album. I'm glad you guys did a video for this one next.
