_it's a minute thirty and the vocals haven't come in yet_ oh my sweet, summer child

[@MichaelMcGlynnProductions]

😂😂

[@Biend]

Oh I laughed so hard when he said it.

[@Bibhor4]

As soon as I heard that, I came to look for comments. Hahahaa!!

[@BraedenGMcMahon]

@@Biend i subbed based on that statement 😂

[@Terry.M.I.]

i immediately came to the comments when i heard that too xD

[@eskay_mochi]

To be fair, they do have vocals in this song. Here's the lyrics: _whooo!_

[@ProfessorFrenzy]

You can hear Rick Beato from here. lol

[@whitenoise509]

Haha good point. They don't need vocals, because we are all providing them lol.

[@jacq3003]

how many harmonics do you want? polyphia: yes

[@MichaelMcGlynnProductions]

😂

[@TrippyWheelz]

His harmonics have to be some of the best I’ve ever heard. Every time I hear him do them they sound just as good as the first time. His writing with placement is just amazing.

[@retired4365]

Pure ear candy for musicians of all levels. That bass is so meaty you want to chew on it. Melodies and transitions are so clean.

[@tsuukkii]

Some guy who plays classical music and listens to it only and is very elitist: *d o u b t*

[@RaymondBCrisp]

"That bass is so meaty you want to chew on it." Dude, that comment is pure gold...

[@razztastic]

@@tsuukkii Then you ask them to improvise something good and they stand there with their dick in their hand lol

[@cmote78]

I absolutely love Polyphia. Everything off of their New Levels New Devils album is absolutely phenomenal.

[@samvakarian]

Gotten into them recently and holy shit they're awesome. And tims videos where he breaks down how he came up with stuff is great too.

[@SK23.]

Agreed

[@Skeptycx]

Got to seen the live on the first Super Chon Bros tour like 4 years back. I wish I could relive that day

[@alwayzchillin0714]

Found them fairly recently, my favs are Goose and the Blood Moon snippet. I like how they are evolving and curious to see how much further they can “push the envelope”.

[@williamcaseyiii7344]

Yaaassss

[@justthedecoy4687]

"it's a minute thirty and I haven't heard the vocals yet". Everyone loves that bass.

[@d_storm5614]

02:51 should we tell him😂😂😂

[@samvakarian]

No lmao

[@patriciacarpenter9398]

Heeheeheeeheeeee!

[@cicadasmasher8082]

1:01 You know you nailed it when your producer looks like he just got a good whiff of a dead body.

[@gtrriffs]

🤣🤣

[@beatsmithaudio9245]

Stank face on a producer = dope ass beat

[@Azrael71109]

I've listened to this song so many times. I never get tired of watching musicians and producers react to Polyphia. I would love to hear more in-depth analysis of this song or others of theirs by you. You have a great energy on camera.

[@MichaelMcGlynnProductions]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@RaymondBCrisp]

There is just so much going on here. I learn something new about the song with every different reactor I watch. Each adds something to the puzzle that is G.O.A.T.

[@AspireAndInspire]

Clay Aeschliman plays like someone just programmed some drums with no concern as to whether or not a human being could actually play it... and then he picks up the sticks and nails every single hit.

[@leannsmarie]

Thats pretty much how Tim Henson wrote this piece. He put out a video explaining how he composed it.

[@sirgallabad]

This is actually incredibly close to how it went XD

[@nazman465]

One of the guitarists, Tim Henson, used to play the violin in an orchestra. They're definitely more towards the classical side. Their first video I think was a cover of Bach Concerto.

[@decimateeviscerate]

No their first video was a cover of Carol of the bells im pretty sure

[@zryhmer]

These guys got me into Animals As Leaders, Intervals, Chon and Covet. The KZbin algorithm seems to work for music.

[@unchaval5463]

Far better than spotify playlists

[@jackson2308]

Shit is Intervals still around? I listened to them when they dropped their first EP years ago.

[@youngcuddlez1]

Bro check out vitalism. Especially if you like intervals and Chon. I haven't heard of covet but gonna check them out now

[@MitchM240]

Loving intervals thee days.

[@zryhmer]

Whoops, forgot Plini!

[@jonathanc6108]

Ah the one and only G.O.A.T - haven't even watched the reaction vid yet and I already know it's going to be a good one!

[@jonathanc6108]

And now having watched the video, I can confirm it was a great reaction vid! Keep it up mate!

[@buzzliteyear11]

"I love this drummer...I love you mate!". One of the best GOAT reaction videos out there.

[@jpspotscars5421]

'It's 1:30 and the vocals haven't come in yet' anyone else laugh?

[@SwiddyDiddy]

Only 2k subs?? I figured this quality had 500k at the very least! Earned my sub

[@ajadeleye4970]

*bass solo starts* "...yes."

[@-zod-4882]

I've listened to this song probably close to 1 thousand times and I still love it, because of how well it's composed and all the little details to make up the whole song. One of the greatest songs of all time.

[@REDWOLF_101]

Being an Aussie and I also am an Aussie, you should react to this Aussie band... Twelve Foot Ninja - One Hand Killing

[@tristan_31_20]

Ayyyye, awesome seeing an Aussie make these kinda videos, you should check out O.D which is another song by polyphia that I think you’d fall in love with.

[@Caervyn]

We all love Clay. He doesn't get the recognition for his fills and the space he creates that he really deserves. His Meinl cymbals video is... magical.

[@WKerrick]

great reaction, they started as metal, and moved to hiphop-jazz-whatever-you-call-this. and when you thought it was keyboards coming back, it was just guitar harmonics that the song was based around. Hope to see more Polyphia reactions from ya!

[@braindeadstonehead9500]

If I remember correctly, Tim is the main riff writer and he originally had classical training and then took a turn to metal and then some rap stuff.

[@marcelocoronel166]

Polyphia is sick! Glad you enjoyed. Welcome to math rock.

[@Marthyboy88]

So I randomly am looking for Polyphia reactions, and I see you posted one, but I never got a notification. KZbin WHY Also, check out Aviator by them. Absolutely insane.

[@Sebastian-mr1ik]

Great reaction video!! can't wait to see more stuff!

[@frnndgrm6268]

I love your videos man, you know you're great making music when you blow people's minds including profesional musicians or producers

[@nickhaas9185]

Between the Buried and Me - Veridian/White Walls Its long but is an amazing piece of music

[@PowerfulWarbird]

I enjoy your take, please keep making these videos 👍

[@supernova1661]

Saw in the description you produced Denzel Curry's version of Bulls on Parade, great job on that, absolutely loved that cover when i first heard it!

[@BraceDeville]

I've watched a number of Polyphia reaction vids and this has been my favorite. The Musicians are amazing but the drummer is next level all world. As a guitar player, he makes me wish I focused on being a drummer when I was a kid..lol

[@MichaelMcGlynnProductions]

Thanks heaps legend!

[@esracoon]

Hi. JINJER - Pisces (Live Session) | Napalm Records . Enjoy.

[@joshuatibando2316]

You’re my new favourite reaction videos.

[@MichaelMcGlynnProductions]

Joshua sorry I just saw this! But you just made my day 🙏🙏

[@hulkingmass]

Me too dude

[@hulkingmass]

Would love to watch him listen to OD by polyphia

[@hulkingmass]

Love this

[@itaiitai8960]

best reaction i saw for a long time to this band thank you

[@chadwillatt5280]

1st time watching your reaction you are by far the most technically correct reactor iv seen well up mate keen to watch more of your stuff

[@Pepeloes]

I've watched a bunch of people reacting to this song on youtube and this is by far the best one yet!

[@MichaelMcGlynnProductions]

Thanks so much!!!

[@Deraldgjr]

Legend has it he is still sitting there waiting for the vocals to come in.

[@Sykokinetic]

I fucking love that the metal community always managers to rope react KZbinrs in to our world. Love it more that most seem to absolutely love it as well. Excellent video man. Will definitely be subscribing.

[@MichaelMcGlynnProductions]

Thanks heaps man

[@Taakebanke]

Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope should be your cup of tea. They even use it at Sydney Conservatorium of Music because of how well the song is built and composed.

[@falloutfan62794]

your breakdown of the band at Clay's bass solo was spot on.

[@YrielAerin]

You should check out Lost in a Wave by LANDMVRKS. They are awesome. Metal band formed in France. Absolutely amazing.

[@Sykokinetic]

Can not recommend this enough. Was my song of the year for 2020. One of the best bands in the scene right now in my opinion.

[@brandonprice6448]

Like watching a professional wine taster try the best wine in the world. Love seeing a reaction where the one reacting has the necessary knowledge to fully appreciate what they’re hearing. Great vid man!

[@forevertaken8955]

Any polyphia tracks you review is an automatic view from me. These guys are one of my top 5 artists ever.

[@polgabaldon]

Mate, your vibes are fair dinkum sublime. Came for the love of polyphia and you had me laughing half the time. Thanks!

[@MichaelMcGlynnProductions]

Thanks so much!!!!

[@skerdoo523]

Well shit, this channel is a diamond in the rough. Huge appreciation for your obvious love of music. You and your Aussie brethren, DankPods, have me convinced - time to buy some cans. HD 600s, here I come!

[@ErikGrimms]

ah some eitch dee six hunge-o's from old mate senn? great pick, try to pick up a decent amp/dac combo to feed them with like for instance a FiiO Q1 mk2, not expensive and does a world of difference compared to trying to run hd600s from a standard headphone out.

[@naeldair2]

You should totally check out infant annihilator c-crusher, its an amazing piece of drumming and the one most people find is focused on the drummer

[@jessieansell6168]

Infectious enthusiasm. Subbed instantly.

[@TzDavid95]

HAHAHA at first I heard your accent and I was like he must be Aussie, and then you just started adding swear words in your sentences for no reason, literally confirmed it all! Much love from Melbourne!!!!!

[@dayfire100]

Love the video :)

[@cjl9905]

I've seen a lot of reactions to this song ... but with someone who has that as a background .... LEGIT !!!!!!

[@Scrub_Jake]

Try Pentatonix! They’re %100 acapella but you would never know that by just listening. 3 time Grammy award winners and winners of the third season of the Song Off. Quite talented and no matter what kind of music you’re into, they do it all 🎶

[@relentless7144]

Through this whole reaction,you said what I was thinking..even the comment using the "ear candy" remark!

[@adamhurt612]

Freeeeessshhhh!!!! Re inventing the wheel over here. God I was getting bored w metal guitar lately. What a breath of fresh air.

[@jambranski3759]

Chon and Covet are really good instrumental bands too

[@danielc93]

And intervals

[@jaynov5878]

Love your channel man. Keep it up. Id love to see what you think about Band-Maid.

[@jaykharris]

Dam i thought you were the hi 5 dude from the 90s 2000s lol awsome vid bro #subscribed

[@corykeeney3825]

You sense all levels of music unlike most online critics who are garbage. You got my vote bro!

[@punktkom]

Great video dude, it is not so easy to find reaction channels these days that actually know about stuff they talk about. If you liked this, you should definitely check out band "Unprocessed". Very similar to Polyphia, but with very beautiful vocals, I suggest songs "Abandoned", "Real (featuring Polyphias guitarist and bassist), and most definitely their latest song "Deadrose". Keep up the good work mate

[@tylerasselinproductions]

Have a listen to Tesseract , I don't think you'll be disappointed. tasty vocals, unreal bass tones and just all around talented dudes.

[@titans77]

One of my buddies owns a studio and watched this. He said "I'd be worried I don't have the equipment to properly portray how well these guys play..."

[@micahwithabeard]

"I fucking love them" I couldn't sum it up any better! I heard this for the first time a few days ago and it's been stuck in my head since

[@Dec4ption]

Brooo! I’m sure your busy but upload more! Love your reactions from a producer point of view!

[@MichaelMcGlynnProductions]

I’m so flat out - these vids are a bit of fun - I’ll try to make more soon I promise!!!

[@Dec4ption]

@@MichaelMcGlynnProductions thanks man and good luck with the move!

[@MichaelMcGlynnProductions]

Thanks so much legend

[@kevie3]

You win me as a new subscriber because you simply said “it’s not everyone’s cup of tea BUT fuck’em” 🙌🤘

[@indus3270]

From a compositional/arrangement point of view, this track is reminiscent to a style of electronic music called IDM, which was quite popular the early 2000's underground scene. It reminds me a lot of old Aphex Twin and Venetian Snares and the sorts.

[@Atarxis]

Would love to see you do some stuff on parkway drive

[@corykeeney3825]

Good review

[@Reaper6932]

You should react to 'below', 'alleviate', or 'passing'. All 3 of these by a band named Leprous. Blew my mind when i first heard this group

[@mikegutschow8384]

You really should do O.D by Polyphia, you for sure will dig it man.

[@Crotes1990]

Both their guitarist, but in particular Tim Henson is a fricking MONSTER on guitar. He has a youtube channel aswell which has some dope stuff on it (like Blood Moon, prolly my fav riff ever).

[@russellward4624]

They started as a death metal band. Moved to djent metal. Now they're covering every genre of music possible. You should check out the rest if the album its amazing. Got a new one releasing soon.

[@tmapache]

Love that shirt BTW.

[@brittfitzgerald9192]

I'd love for you to check out The Ocean. Not sure exactly what song to recommend as a lot of theirs are in the 6-13min duration (Cambrian II, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic | Cretaceous). Maybe Miocene | Pliocene?

[@BunBean_]

Gotta give Outliers by Aviations a listen. It's a long one but a musical piece of art in so many aspects.

[@elmonitorrr2978]

Can you imagine a jam session between them and Mars Volta on one stage? That would kill the audience effortless. Awesome musicianship!

[@tobiasvikr472]

If you like this, i REALLY reccomend reaction to either Plini or Owane! It's the same type of fusion style, but a tiny bit more structured i would say. My favourite in this genre!

[@randmcknoxly]

I feel like that has been all of our reactions to this video." Fuck that was great, I love you"

[@conrad637]

You'd love the sheer production effort of an Ice Nine Kills video

[@biggjimjr1]

This Guy describes this Music perfectly

[@jeremiahdavis4339]

Soothsayer- buckethead amazing

[@bensparling8693]

Please react to Kingslayer - Bring Me the Horizon (feat. Baby Metal)

[@jorgevice]

Nice!

[@lordtains]

Great reaction mate! Have you listened to their song "playing god" yet?

[@tambaluchi29]

That face like you just got a whiff of death is awesome lol. You should check out their songs saucy and yas

[@markawitize194]

All 4 of you i f*cking love you HAHAHAHAHAH THIS IS A GOOD POLYPHIA REACTION VIDEO IF YOU HEAR THIS.

[@jimbop666]

Slaughter to Prevail - Demolisher Pause as many times as you like, you'll need it ;)

[@spirit4440]

Man you should react to 40oz,goose,and O.D from their band we'll be waiting for the reactions

[@TheRokkis]

They draw their influence from pop, rap and electronic music. Tim Henson said something like "trying to play rap with guitar". He has classical guitar background, which somewhat explains his hybrid picking. Yeah, I'm a huge fan.

[@alanmmeirelles]

matt grastka ... Tosin abassi ... Tim Hanson .... what a nice Era.

[@Tekkerue]

Can you do a reaction to Deadman by Karnivool? Living in Australia, it's quite possible you've heard Karnivool already (they aren't very well known here in the US sadly), if that's the case then another one is White Mist by The Pineapple Thief. Gavin Harrison (drummer from Porcupine Tree) is their drummer now and he is just out of this world.

[@Tbonethunda]

Chon - Bubble Dream The Audiotree live version!

[@Randomicity912]

You should check out their latest track, Playing God. Jazz influence way more obvious in that one.

[@koppsal]

this song tickles my brain

[@copperlobo2536]

If you like this you should listen to Jason Richardson and Luke Holland "Ho's Down" I recommend watching the video.

[@Drewberry90]

Watching all these reaction videos to polyphia makes me wish I could have seen my own face the first time I listened to them

[@hailstone.]

React to anything by TesseracT, their entire discography is incredible, crazy polyrhythms, great tone

[@tatlin868]

I'd love to see you react to another one of their songs called "The Worst". i have been in love with it for the past few weeks

[@Nico_BlackForest]

Man.. Love your reactions... great work. But you HAVE to react to „Sons Of Winter And Stars“ by Wintersun! But do the rehearsal shit!!! Greetings from Germany 🤘

[@ZydacoGA]

Please do something with The Mars Volta!!!

[@iankendrick91]

The single “Look But Don’t Touch” by Polyphia would make a fantastic reaction video
