[@MaskedNozza]

I'm so impressed that you managed to get MatPat to dance for your video! For real, you are so freaking talented and I feel inspired to learn guitar. I don't expect I'll ever get as good as any of you, but I just want to be maybe half as creative and be able to express myself in a way that surpasses language barriers

[@HazimDanish-t8b]

Damn matpat do be drippy

[@HueYing]

Having listened to Light hundreds of times casually doing schoolwork, I get goosebumps so many times during this song. I Don't even usually like remixes but the way they did this is so brilliant.

[@Abrasumentex]

I always thought Light was the "light version of this song, I mean they're almost identical but Light doesn't have the same ending

[@PaniKsermon]

Half the comments is the reason why I think this "outcast" mindset of people who listen to rock, alternative, prog rock/metal and other sub genres is incredibly outdated. You don't have to like a specific genre. In fact a mix of them might sound great! For people who don't confine or limit themselves into specific genre, this is a breath of fresh air. Definitely has the positive vibes to it!

[@ddlcp]

Taking best of every aspect sounds good in concept that's but its easier said than done also, they came to be in a long span of time & can be identified with aspect of each craft so, for you to say they are outdated. I listen to every genre of music as I enjoy each aspect of them & I recently came across polyphia which i enjoyed it but they are alright, talented as of now but they aren't as new as genre defining or even close as you'r trying to... they'r mix of different genre of technique & beat which you can find dim a dozen specifically in digital genre.. so, I wouldn't necessarily say breath of fresh air but one of many that doesn't relate to any but also doesn't 've it own ID...

Well, they used to be djent.

[@tribbybueno]

Been in this scene for 7 years, noticed the chugging, 'djenty' shit first with slipknot and all that remains and trivium. Picked up structures' all of the above at 15. Volumes concept of dreaming at 16. Northlane, periphery, monuments, modern day babylon, Gideon (which is a stretch), substructures, erra, elitist, fuck you name it I jammed it hard at 17. And so on and so forth. I know all about this shit and polyphia is totally progressive metal. If not in thick complex phrasing or song structure, then in simple feel. This is a metal song. It does not have to be happy or even relatively orthodox. If nothing else, this is a black metal song in the sense that they do everything in an unorthodox fashion deliberately. Learn your music. First Internet rant in months, that felt great

[@黃冠豪-t1b]

No need to generalize their music style. They are just being distinctively 'Polyphia'. Also a fan from Taiwan here. \m/

@@samhhaincat2703 musical genres are like archetypes and to think of them as good or bad is missing the point, Taylor Swift is the ultimate pop singer/songwriter she's amazing at what she does. And these guys are progrock virtuosos also amazing at what they do. both are accomplished in their field and that's all that really matters. I enjoy listening to both because I like music and if all music, and people, were the same that would be boring.

[@Mr.Goldbar]

This is what started their transition from straight up prog metal to trap influenced prog rock

[@1984Musicforever]

Just saw these guys live with The Contortionist and Between the Buried and Me in Ft Lauderdale. Polyphia was great, had a chance to talk to the lead guitar player afterwards. He came off really friendly, even offered me some advice for my own playing. This song was actually pretty amazing live. Not really a remix/edm fan but this was pretty incredible to see played. The drummer btw looked like he was really enjoying himself.

this video is so ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ

[@TheEmptyAutumn]

I come back to this and not only do I end up appreciating it a bit more after loving their new sound in the last two albums, I really sit down and pay attention to the video and the editor in me from my time in high school... oh my lawdie. Bryce and Josh, you killed it here. The general flow, cuts and fx in-time with Vinny's dancing interspersed with the band is *mwah*, oh it's a joy to watch. ^-^ One of my favourite parts in the video is at 4:03 when the music crescendos and we cut to Vinny very slightly in the air and touching down in a triumphant pose. Just that little nuance of being in the air *enough* to feel a bit of *WEIGHT* and *IMPACT* as he hits the ground in-time with the band. Beautiful section to put it in too. And hey, even if it wasn't your choices to make the video how you did, I still see that hard work. :)

[@dreammakmuss]

I imagine how much effort it took from the editor, who drew all the effects by hand.

[@andychristian1621]

[@kylericketts1933]

pretty sure a lot of this is pretty simple after effects stuff

[@n0d0yuna]

Come on guys! This is just a remix! Tim said years ago that they were giving their music a pop sensibility to make everyone dig it and i think that's a really good choice that has payed off and i'm happy they are having success, he said this while promoting Muse. I don't really find any dramatic differences from their style, come on! The sound is the same and they have always dressed in a pop-swag style, give them a break, the song is groovy, it's funky, it's technical but soulful and it's fucking good!!

[@kevinnolan9904]

Agreed , the mountain dew commercial commemt was pretty funny tho

[@parrotbaydude19061]

This day in age? It’s hard to get the average joe who doesn’t care for this stuff to actually stay, listen, and pay attention to this kind of genre and style! My thing has always been that if I can get my parents to like “metal” then I did a good job. Lol
