Playing God will give you a much clearer idea of what Polyphia does.

@master__sauceee98 Ай бұрын

One of my favorites by them

@TheGirfGirf Ай бұрын

Agreed! It's kind of wild that the first Polyphia song he heard has lyrics (they only have like 5 tracks with words lol)

@danielelder6361 Ай бұрын

I Disagree tbh playing god does not feel as prog rock as they usually do with most of their songs

@nazzify6417 Ай бұрын

Even playing god is a bit different cause usually they don't use the nylons

@cyclistman6358 Ай бұрын

To get a better idea, you really need to listen to their entire catalog if possible. I can’t imagine which direction and style they will be embracing next, after the caliber of tunes on their latest album. Audacity, ABC, Playing God, Chimera are my favs and are just really good and reflect a refreshing unique approach and style of making music. Those young men are are blazing a new trail in modern music IMO.

YES. Polyphia is a math rock wormhole of delight! Hint: Don't use the drums for timing like we do for 99% songs - it's a TRAP

@xtaicho2842 Ай бұрын

Glad you are checking out Polyphia now. One of my favorite bands!

@BrittanyNgo01 Ай бұрын

Their drummer (Clay Aeschliman) does all of the beats you hear. He is incredibly talented and my favorite member. He is always doing trap drums in their songs. If you look up his name you can see his drum playthrough of this song and others, definitely recommend it.

@Monty4G63 Ай бұрын

The playthrough video they do gives you an even better representation of the guitar work as well.

Yeah dude Polyphia writes music electronically then transpose it to instruments. It's fire 🔥! They all are super talented. Being a musician I love the intricate stuff. Check out the stuff without features but one of my faves with a feature is bloodbath with Chino from Deftones.

@BertRuss-q7f Ай бұрын

Your intuitions are exactly correct! The members of Polyphia love hip-hop, and draw greatly from its influence on them in how they compose their music. They essentially want their guitar to be their rapper. Yes, they add 808's, etc. in post, and a lot of the mixing is done by Tim Henson (neck tattoo guy) himself. On his channel, he even posted videos explaining his writing and mixing process. For example, one of their hits, "G.O.A.T.", started with him transceibing "Breakfast" by Jaden Smith, and how he went about doing the rest. Another, "O.D.", started with Kanye West's "Champions", but with the structure of a Taylor Swift song he otherwise despises. Great stuff from them. Their most recent (and arguably biggest) hits are "Playing God", then "Ego Death". "G.O.A.T.", and "'O.D." are older but in the same vein. Then they have other popular tracks which are much less metal; more poppy. Happy listening!

Definitely check out more Polyphia. They've stepped in and out of so many styles, worth taking a gander through their discography and getting a taste of it all.

@ObnoxiousNinja99 29 күн бұрын

With the bass/808 question you had, they often use both an 808 along with Clay G's bass to either mirror each other or work together in some way. It's extremely cool, never seen another band do that

@baldbearded9601 Ай бұрын

They do "trap like" drums on purpose in all of their tracks as they're highly influenced and listen to a lot of hip-hop, but they're also from a metal background so they mix genres and make this kind of prog-math-rock, whatever that means. But they are all highly talented/virtuoso and blend multiple genres from one song to another. Definitely worth reacting to.. not many instrumental bands have as big of a following as these guys do!

@loubearr Ай бұрын

omg ive been wanting this cross over for so long

@Gwynblaith Ай бұрын

This is exakt how my first listen went LMFAO they found a perfect blend between hip hop and metal for this. I usually heavily dislike when those two genres mix bc it doesn’t sound like it goes together but they nailed it. Hip hop is a huge influence to their music. And yeah, you were hearing 808’s but it’s also the bass guitar. Even those hi hats were the drummer doing everything

@chase7197 Ай бұрын

Polyphia, led by Tim Henson, is a band that is very unorthodox in their approach to making a song, yet their skill is something extraordinary. Tim likes to start out by producing a back track (usually hip hop infused as thats usually his favorite kind of music to write to) to use as a baseline and then he and Clay Aeschliman (drummer) along with the other two Scott LePage (other guitarist) and Clay Gober (Bassist) riff off of one another until they find something they can fit in with. So what you're hearing there is actually both an 808 mastered around Clay G. and Clay A s play. You'll see in a lot of their stuff individual segments meant to show off each of their skills which is really beautiful how they're able to not only show that musically but also produce amazing visual videos to show you it as well. I highly suggest you go back and look at their catalog because if you liked this, I can guarantee you'll love a lot of their other stuff. A lot of what they do is hip-hop infused and mostly instrumentals. If I had to give you specific suggestions based on what I think you'd like, I would choose "G.O.A.T." as well as "Nasty ft. Jason Richardson", "O.D.", and finally, the beautiful Latin flair they have in the song "Playing God" is unmatched. Hope you find them well!

@bryansutton2023 Ай бұрын

Ego death, GOAT, playing god are all great choices. Also Classical Dragon by Marcin and Tim will make everyone give up on playing guitar after seeing the two of them together

@alexrosario423 Ай бұрын

Yeah, they use the drums and bass to mimic an 808 sound. Very cool of you to notice 👍🏽

Definitely react to playing god if you want to see their skill but i'd also recommend ABC featuring sophia black for a more jpop sound I think you'd appreciate that one

@makokuma7881 Ай бұрын

There is stuff added to the drumming, but not as much as you might think. He has drumming playthroughs of a few of their songs, you should watch one of them. He’s a freakin human drum machine on the drums!

@krash2fast99 14 күн бұрын

As I’ve commented on a laughably large number of Polyphia videos, no that is in fact not an 808. That’s just Clay. Some stuff added for post production but… just check them out live. You’ll get it.

Man i was just thinking to myself the other day. I wonder if hes every gonna check out polyphia - they are INSANE musicians, another ariana grande type track with vocals called "ABC" but you should also check out their pure stuff like, GOAT, Playing god and Ego Death The main guitarist Tim Henson also featured on a track called "Classical Dragon" that shit is ABSOLUTELY INSANE

The drummer does play through videos for most of the tracks like holland had a lot of collaboration with him on the sound but they don’t add any drums or high hats.
