[@garrickhoffman9440]

Without hyperbole, this album is a masterpiece of not just progressive metal but of music itself. Fucking awesome.

[@unbearifiedbear1885]

Took 6yrs to get my like. Hope it was worth the wait! 😂❤

[@Craigonater]

Taking my daughter to see these dudes in August in Detroit. I introduced her to them after checking out Tim Henson's virtuosity on KZbin. She fell head over heels for them, especially Tim. Lol.

[@paulanhalt3609]

Hope you two had a great time! I saw them in Baltimore in August and it was incredible

[@Craigonater]

@@paulanhalt3609 We had a great time and the band was excellent. ✌🏼

[@andrelahaye787]

This album feels like the summer I should have had after high school graduation.

[@sacchitsreenivasan3487]

This sounds like metal with a cheeky, childlike playful vibe to it... Love it!

[@pocketinfinity5260]

@Crebs Park it has a shit ton of metal influence, thats why he said it sounds like it.

[@YesFrogYes]

@Crebs Park its progressive rock/metal

[@crowwithinternetservice]

@Crebs Park It's Prog metal...

Holy actual fuck. So glad I randomly clicked on this. One of the most uniquely amazing albums I've ever heard.

I don't remember :) was listening to some other progressive rock also suggested by youtube ) those suggestions really work!

[@louisdattin2345]

same for me, lot of really good discoveries

[@wilsonstrickland8967]

This album inspired me to start playing guitar again. Incredibly underrated album.

[@joebanter305]

Same. I just bought a guitar again trying to get back into it then I wondered why, because I couldn’t think of anything I needed or wanted to learn to become a better player. Then I heard THIS shit. Lmao.

[@maxisbored]

dude i started drumming again. there isn't anything about this that is too much, or too little.

[@El_Diavolo]

Never quit, bro🤟😎

WHAT KIND OF FOOL CAN DISLIKE AN ALBUM LIKE THIS!!! THEY ARE THE MOST SKILLFUL AND TALENTED TEENAGERS I EVER HEARD!!

Gabe GR perfectly put.

[@courtneyprince5130]

Gabe GR You ate the album???

[@YesFrogYes]

These songs let you associate them with a mood, or emotion.

[@THCharlie]

This is beyond my favorite thing about this genre. A lot of the times there is so much room for interpretation you can make it take it however

[@markparry4063]

This album just gets better and better the more you listen, excellent guitar work

[@Cylance-ji9tn]

RIGHT💥🔥

[@assadi89]

Sounds like those Jazz Rock Soundtracks for early 2000's beat em ups like Capcom vs SNK, I like it.

[@BookofBeart]

Yo i was just thinking of Sonic the Hedgehog or other fighting games on the ps1 days i used to play and I'm glad im not the only one. This shit is so refreshing yet it reminds me of the old days

[@caixiuying8901]

SEGA DREAMCAST

[@JazzyBassy]

Yeah Nightmare gives me Hill Top Zone vibes mixed with Streets of Rage.

[@laopod]

Freaking WOAH. I found this album yesterday and listened to it four or five times in a row while working. I used to listen to prog metal a lot and was curious how it had evolved, and this is a nice discovery!

[@andrewkran9263]

As a guitar player, this is just delightful!

[@unbearifiedbear1885]

Been playing for nearly 20yrs, only just discovered these guys last June - although I liked the percussion and melodies, I honestly didn't really like the vibe because I thought it just sounded ridiculously over produced ...then I saw them play live and was like _"ohhh shit! They_ *really* _play like that?!"_ I honestly didn't even know you _could_ do some of the stuff I've seen/heard them do.. sure, finger picking, pinch harmonics, bending, hammer-on's/off's etc, we know them well - but _every_ technique possible and a bunch of invented ones thrown in too; and all within like half a bar of music?! Seeing them play live was really a Matrix level *"he is the one!"* moment

[@lez_ghozt]

as a garbage man, I ask what does you playing guitar have to do with it?

[@calistamitsy4411]

@@lez_ghozt 😃obviously, he knows what he’s talking about 👍

[@smokindnd]

the album just keeps getting better and better, Faith in humanity has been restored with these young fellas

[@_Not_Retarded]

The _feels_ that this albums conveys, it's fuckin mindblowing .

[@rosalina5936]

From start to finish this album is so well put together. This is Polyphia at their best

[@wra1thh646]

Sadly, still holds true even with RTYWD out today :(

[@finnjohnson21]

Wdym RTYWD is far better than this album(not saying this album is bad I absolutely love it especially paradise), and I do admire ur opinion bc everyone has their own taste like personally I found NLND best. But the reason I say RTYWD is better is bc of its vast variety of styles and genres in literally every song, it felt more like a more experimental album than all of the other albums. Some people (like u) find a specific album of theirs that just matches ur taste amazingly which is completely understandable, but if u take into accountability just the raw quality and ideas and work put into the albums RTYWD is undoubtedly the best.

[@rhondaacierno7638]

YES!!! just got introduced! Love Renaissance!!

[@Djarshann]

was listening to Earthside - A dream in static , then clicked on this suggestion, then got Hard. Simply priceless music.

[@FuelAirSparkTime]

Holy fuck what an amazing record. The chorus of Florence makes me so hyped. These guys are in a different league

[@GuzikPL4]

7 years passed and this is still their best album. absolutely peak Polyphia

[@IJH-Music]

I agree!

[@commandershepard9749]

i'm right there with you bud

[@aaronrothenberg7582]

Found this a couple of weeks ago and its very addictive. Im from the 80's when Becker and Friedman were popular. I love how instrumental evolved.

[@NZOMV]

First time I hearing of Polyphia and I'm already becoming a fan

[@Mattwilleydrums]

It gets old very quickly though since it all sounds the same unfortunately. I felt the same way loooved them, then about 2 weeks later I just didn't feel it. all amazing musicians and everything but man a little diversity would have been nice.

[@dylanwarren837]

I felt the same way. Was thoroughly impressed at first, but it does get old fast. It feels almost TOO technical, as if it's missing personality, soul, or style. As if I can predict every sound that is going to come next because it is SUPPOSED to come next. (Maybe that is its own style) And no, I don't just say that because they're instrumental, I listen to a lot of instrumental bands. To me, what I hear reminds me as if it was all input into a computer and played-back and recorded. (Idk how they recorded it). Either way, it definitely sounds pretty.

[@musingsofmessa]

NZO MV I think I can say the same. This album reminds me of Angel Vivaldi, and Divinex, too. This kind of music doesn't really get "old" to me after listening to it for a while, either. Sometimes, you can just listen to instrumental tracks like this, and just imagine what the lyrics would be by the tone of the song.

[@elixenramirez740]

Sameee

[@somerandomperson1840]

Polyphia is the kind of band that you love when Listening for the first time, they get old because the repetition, and you come back to listen again after some time, in my case it was after a year

[@dousel]

Way better than I expected from Polyphia. Totally blown away by this album.

[@Jeffkingson]

I underestimated Polyphia, but they killed in this album! this album blew my mind :3

[@zmizzle12]

this album made me blow a load

[@trossbossinit]

Polyphia's talent has really shown in previous albums, as well as this one. Totally well rounded band!

[@JoshuaSmith-jo9rs]

not sure what you mean by this considering their album "Muse" is way better than this

[@josbudon9245]

nah buddy Muse is good but just nah

[@tiamelancholyjeoncockity]

This is so damn addicting I just couldn’t stop listening, I love both their old AND new music. I fell even more in love after seeing them for the first time few days ago in New York 😍❤️ it’s a experience to remember

[@unbearifiedbear1885]

I actually didn't really like them _until_ I saw them live - I thought they sounded *way* too overproduced, like every song was entirely written on a DAW Then I saw them live and they honestly blew me away.. had no idea you _could_ play the way they do!

[@nathanrobinson1850]

This gives me goosebumps. YOU HAVE CHANGED ME POLYPHIA

[@anthonymichael5846]

At first I wasn't feeling it, it was sounding all alike. Then bittersweet came on, and the rest of the album from there became a magical experience. Thanks Polyphia!

[@eliasgarciahernandez4284]

+Anthony Michael and the guy that uploaded it... ;-) just saying...

[@anthonymichael5846]

+Elias Garcia Hernández Oh well yeah that goes without saying. I just hope Polyphia doesn't mind his leak.

[@SafelandingRecords]

+Anthony Michael @Elias No need to thank me. And it's totally understandable if this gets taken down lol. Hope y'all enjoy!

[@istillsuckatguitar]

+David Ysasi They posted the whole thing themselves so not sure why they would mind, especially since you have a link to buy it. I bought it already but I am still at the stage of thinking it all sounds the same, but I agree Bittersweet is the best song so far.

[@jagermaester5389]

+istillsuckatguitar Most of their albums sound like that, they keep the same effects/tuning & if the notes/riffs are at all similar it WILL sound the same. But their sound HAS changed album-to-album. Favorite track would be Nightmare, though. Special thanks to the uploader for putting the entire album together, times and all!

[@eichhorst4169]

This album is so emotive to me...This is probably the best work they'll ever put out

[@Gastro-enterite-en-imax]

Your pfp is litterally the album 😭😂

[@AndreaGaetani93]

Reinassance, Grow and The Shape of Colour. The divine three.

[@ryansadauskis]

Agreed. Haha Maybe Animals As Leaders' the Joy of Motion should be in that mix as well?

[@JohnDoe-rj8nd]

Set Course for Andromeda......

[@Ferretclaw444]

The holy trinity

[@caixiuying8901]

Renaissance, Grow, The Shape of Colour, Set Course for Andromeda, and Handmade Cities. Polyphia, CHON, Intervals, Sithu Aye, and Plini accordingly. It's now The Divine 5.

[@davidlee2221]

i think by Angel Vivaldi, he means nick johnston...

[@Mr.D34]

Wow these guys are on another level, their playing and songs sound like everything i love about music and guitar put together yet they also sound like nothing else! I discovered this band while looking for new Dimarzio pickups for my guitar, as someone who loves Dimarizo i know their catalog pretty much so I was looking for pickups that I didn't use or hear about before. I didn't go for their pickups as they're not what i was looking for but i discovered an amazing band instead!

[@rookd1137]

Euphoria is a great song... they killed it in seattle on the tour with chon

[@johaneuceda]

yeah dude its a master piece of a song

[@Azrael71109]

Check out "The Most Hated" album by Polyphia as well. If you like this one you surely won't be disappointed with any of their others.

[@monochromatik1]

I was expecting this albub to be a bit wanky before I played it, but now two plays in and after replaying a few songs I'm glad to say I was dead wrong. It's impressive how mature it sounds, the different tones and harmonies Polyphia produce, and just how damn catchy and entertaining a lot of this album is.

[@akiller28]

Wow, this album is truly their best work to date. Loved it!

[@NBJ97]

I randomly stumbled across this video and I am so glad I did, this is incredible!

[@TheAntagonistHero]

Saw them in Portland when I went to see Coheed & Cambria, bought this album after the show and had it signed. 10/10 show.

[@Beanie-Sandals]

TheAntagonistHero Is portland a good place to live? Me and my brother are seriously thinking of moving there, we cant stand Texas any longer!

[@TheAntagonistHero]

I live in Eugene so I can't really speak for living in Portland if you have liberal leanings, like strange things like people riding unicycles while wearing a Darth Vader mask and playing a flaming bagpipe (This a real thing, they call him the unipiper) and craft beer you'd probably like it there. There's a problem with homelessness and drugs in the state overall but I can't think of any other state I'd rather live in.

[@trossbossinit]

That must have been epic! Fuck...

[@MegaMetang]

Fucking awesome album. The bass in Crush is so fucking groovy.

[@JoshuaEpperson69]

The ending from "Ivory" sounds like the ending from "Transcend" on their "Inspire EP". But to listen closely I hear all sorts of Inspire throughout Renaissance. Then imagining Brandon back as the drummer, basically just listening to the guitar/bass while imagining other drum tracks in my head. It sounds so good.

[@ZachRelles]

I hoonestly really like how the bassist slaps and doesnt sound super typical
