9/10. 1 point deducted for a misleading song title.

I just the next album would be as good if not better. A lot of artists release flops after a good album.

[@Vinc.M]

Wtf ! This is insane, this technic... Doing an electro/trap song, with guitars, this is so amazing. For a guitarist, earing that is very impressive, when you realize the work behind this...

[@OmenAhead]

Yeah this whole album is incredible... Like hybrid trap with progressive metal guitars

[@philipmaclean1560]

Part of why it’s so cool and original is because of how Tim writes the riffs. He records the notes on a keyboard, then plays them on guitar, despite having to move between frets super fast.

[@Badboyifier]

like how on earth do you keep coming up with such complex yet simple and catchy phrases continuously

[@BrazilianImperialist]

Don't offend this, it is not trap

[@Randallcobb56]

the last minute or so of this song takes the song in a totally different direction and then the break down is just immaculate. out of almost any song i can think of, the last loop of the breakdown when clay comes in w the cymbals is probably my favorite of all time. ( 3:06 if you're wondering)

i enjoy probably all of their discography, but something about this song always has me coming back. Such a simple chord progression, but the layering and the technique pulls it all together and makes for some truly intoxicating sounds

[@victorbitencourt9481]

All i want is Polyphia and Death Grips collab.

[@froggyfrog5691]

is death grips good? should i listen to it? or is it not for humas

[@drewkoeppel156]

If i'm going to be overly critical, then I would say that a lot of Polyphia songs do tend to follow similar rhythms and patterns. But, guess what, I love it. I'm not a critic. And what band doesn't frequently sound like themselves? Nothing is wrong with that. I'm a big fan, and they are incredibly talented.

[@void4110]

Do you really expect one band to make every single song as unrelated to each other as possible? as Dwight pointed out its called having a signature sound or theme.

[@zin_dnz]

@@void4110 you should listen to Tribal Rain None of their song match with other songs yet everyone of them is a masterpiece They're underrated though
