      theres a little video tim henson uploaded of him writing two parts on piano, one chording and one melody, then playing both parts together on guitar. The piano bit sounds pretty simple and very good, but when he transferred to whole lot to the guitar it turns into the kind of thing we hear here. From there I think they just start embelleshing and taking liberties with the riff until its all wacky and all over the place. Amazing.

    I love how they often finish each other's rhythmic statements. Listen to 3:06 - 3:09 The guitar starts the phrase and drums almost finishes the phrase until the guitar comes back in. Think about the technical level to go from a rip to a groove and back so effortlessly while maintaining that tight pocket. Amazing. All of them.

    I'm an Uber driver. When it's a longer ride, I'll often ask the passenger if they want some music. If they answer yes, I'll ask what kind of music do they prefer. Most of the time the answer is they like different types of music. I'll put this song on and 9 out of 10 times, after 30 seconds, they're asking who this is and putting on their playlist on their phone. Hey Polyphia, I'm gonna need ten percent of sales 🤣🤣🤣 This band is truly unbelievable. The talent from each musician is off the charts

    Gotta say, I LOVE how everyone gets equal screening in this. No one is above the other, everyone has their time in the spotlight to show their chops and they do what most bands should be doing from the start: Making awesome music together with collaboration and teamwork. THAT'S what it means to be in a band.

      Without vocals, gotta do something for 3 plus minutes. Not really "solos". ill admit, I'm almost 40 and I just didn't get this band at first. I'm comfortable enough to say that the younger generations are annihilating the boxes that even the most creative have constructed for ourselves back in the day. I used to say it has no hard or feeling or that it's 10 lb of s*** in the bag but really I could never think of doing it the way they do it. Lastly, I see a lot of people covering their licks or riffs and for a second it kind of has me thinking that what did you even so unique. But they created it. It's mind blowing and like I said I'm comfortable enough to say that they're doing things we just couldn't conceive when I was a kid.

      I completely disagree with you. It seems pretty obvious to me, they gave that absolute animal sitting behind the kit in this video, WAY more of a spotlight than the rest. Am I the only one seeing this? I mean, if you go back and take a look... That glorious, sexy, machine of a drummer is in the spotlight for about 3 mins and 35 seconds. And the rest of them? Well, after watching it again I'm wondering if there are even any other band members... Seriously, I'm only seeing a drummer guys. Well, the video must have been shot inside of someone's pants... Since, I can only see the drummer, it's obviously taking place where he's at. It's pretty, again obvious to those of us with ears, that he's in the pocket. For the entire video. Something that deserves an award... and hell, also a REward, in and of itself, considering what exactly he's having to drum to. Someone give this man some ice cream, a noble piece prize.. for being the most noble *piece* of kit that any guitar player could hope to have in their arsenal. Dude is absolutely bonkers... I don't even play drums, I play guitar... Yet I know exactly where my eyes are every time I come to cum watching this video.

      Polyphia is barely scratching the surface of technicality and music complexity, they are simply more easy on the eyes so anyone can pick up something from them and like it. Doesn't remove the merit they have just not the godlike status you gave them, they are far from it.
