I hope this series becomes a staple. So cool to see how these influences are all mixed around into something amazing
i totally agree this format is so interesting and entertaining
yeah i wanna see Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed covered like this
I got In Utero when it came out and I thought it was a better album than Nevermind. I loved the direction in what the band was going to.
Kurt was going to make an acoustic album with the lead singer of REM before he died. Sucks that we never got to hear it
@@implicitdifferentiation No way! Michael Stipe?
@@VoteBidentoSaveDemocracy yeah they were scehduled to start working together in spring of 1994 but then Kurt died. Kurt said he wanted his music to head in a more acoustic and ethereal direction, similar to 'Automatic to the People'. Sucks it never happened
Ah, that’s sounds cool, it does suck that Kurt died and I do not give much a of a damn for R.E.M.
@@implicitdifferentiation also in one of His last interviews (the one where he Is in a boat) he says he didn't want to make another Grungy álbum with Nirvana and than In Útero was the last bit of that sound. He also Said he was pretty interested un other genres such as disco and hip Hop. Makes me wonder how different and cool a 4th Studio álbum could have sounded...
I'm loving the new creative approach for this series. It'd be cool to see a newer band like crumb covered
Crumb is probably my favorite modern band.
@@arthurr.r.lucasspublicdoma5621 fave song by them?
Best new band is The Doublejumps out of New zealand imo but they don't have that many recordings
@@clay_freespirit Either Jinx or MR.
I would love a video about crumb, they are amazing!
bro this could be the beginning of an INCREDIBLE series. not only is it informative, but it’s CHARMING! the labels on the seasonings being classic punk records, the whole “chef” concept and watching how a beloved album is “prepared and served,” the grainy effect on the screen for the whole video to match the mood of what album we’re talking about, IT’S COOL AS FUCK. please make more of these, i absolutely adore seeing what influences my favorite artists pulled from to make their own art. it makes me wanna make more art myself! stellar job, polyphonic.
some suggestions for new episodes:
loveless - my bloody valentine
lonerism - tame impala
the new abnormal - the strokes
the 20/20 experience - justin timberlake
an evening with silk sonic - silk sonic
just to name a few!
Loveless would be SUPER interesting. At that point, it’s tough to think of MBV as sounding like anyone but themselves; I think identifying the influences on that album would really get across that music is never made in a vacuum.
LOVELESS AND LONERISM PLEASE
I LOOOVE TAME IMPALA AND MY BLOODY VALENTINE!!
The amount of maturing that happened between Nevermind and In Utero just leaves me wondering what else we would have heard from Nirvana if what happened hadn't happened. Kurt left so many question marks behind.
Great concept. I would just say you understated the REM influence. So much of this album sounds like a noisier REM album, it is mindblowing.
The unplugged album really highlighted that. REM is at the core of both Nirvana and Radiohead, the 2 most important bands of the 90s
Of all time you mean 😉
It's interesting that you noted Nirvana and Radiohead, both of which have stated that they were just copying the Pixies in the past.
@@devenscience8894 actually, both have said they were copying both Pixies and REM
I think Kurt would have loved a band like Radiohead, specially from Ok Computer going foward Through Kid A... if only he lived to hear it
@@nicolasriveros943 a radiohead influenced Cobain solo album exists in a different timeline.
In yet another timeline, John Lennon collaborated on its lead single. 😢
I remember when Nirvana witness critics or people in the streets on TV. They were given their latest album In Utero so they can hear it and review it. And then they came back and told their thought on the album.
The Wipers were a big influence on Nirvana. Kurt was friends with Greg Sage and he wanted to record covers of old blues songs in Greg's studio.
Yeah Sage stated that Kurt was planning on flying down to Arizona where Greg & his label Zeno Records had recently relocated to & record an album of Leadbelly covers. This was apparently a month or so before he died.
Kurt said in interviews that one of the biggest influences on "In Utero" was the album "Red" by King Crimson.
I was waiting for someone to mention this
Really hoping this becomes an ongoing series! I love hearing about the influences of great albums. Also, congrats on 1 million subs! Very well deserved.
The animations are always so beautiful in these videos.
we cannot forget that
a great inspiration for in utero was Red from king crimson
Oh yeah , so original ..
Nothing else on youtube comes close to your style and presentation, ive been following you for years and you still keep putting out bangers
I love In Utero so much, it's my fave Nirvana album. I enjoyed how well this picked apart all the different sounds and influences that made this album. I'd love to see more of this with other albums.
Another killer video essay! You are such a inspiration, for music, video and design purposes. Congrats!
For an "album recipe" ideas, I'd love to know how Faith No More's "The Real Thing" gets made, including how a major label decides to authorize/distribute it (was it just that liminal period in-between 80's rock but before Grunge would shake up the status quo?)... I love that album (as well as "Angel Dust"), but I've always been amazed by how that album gets made and released.
Good one
love this format!! please do more of these, its awesome to see all of the influences that lead into making an album.
Loving the editing and aesthetic, please make more
This was formatted so well, I loved the style! I’d love to see more videos like this!!
Your passion and quality in these videos never seizes to amaze me!

what an amazing idea for a video and so well executed
Loving the concept for this series. I'm hungry for more.
This was very well put together. Good job man!
The playfulness of this is so refreshing. Compelling and inventive while being insightful throughout. I always love the videos that include snippets of the songs being referenced.
Congrats on a million!!!
Incredible approach over the series. Thanks for keep making these great video analysis. 🙌
loving this style of vid!!
OBSESSED WITH THIS VIDEO FORMAT !!! LOVING IT KEEP IT UP MR PHONIC!!!!
This is a really cool idea!! Thank you so much for the super informative and entertaining (as always) video.
please keep this series going, very cool to see the history & techniques shine through!
Need more of these videos from the kitchen. Nice work.
I love the creativity and humor in this one!
That was an awesome idea for a video, very helpful and informative in understanding history of modern music.
What a great concept for a video, thanks for sharing.
Great series concept !
love your videso so much. Thank you!
this is a really interesting format, keep them coming
Excellent format, really liked it.
Love the new format! Keep it going :D
I like the editing so much, this video is a work of art.
I love the sound of this new series! The animation, art and style is so charming and unique! Love it :D
This video is actually perfect. Thank you.
Congrats on 1 mil!
Obamna
SODA!
SODA!!
THIS HAS BEEN MY SEARCH HISTORY FOR THE PAST 3 DAYS!!! THANK YOU ❤
This is a really cool format you’ve come up with here, my compliments to the chef.
Love this format, Polyphonic! Reminds me why I rely on you for new music, and now I've gotta check out Melvins and Sonic Youth.
absolutely living for everything about this
Great idea for a series! I think Surrealist Pillow could have an interesting recipe for the next episode
And the cherry on top would be the album Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey. Also recorded by Steve Albini at Pachyderm Studios in Minnesota. You can hear how it influenced In Utero’s sound, especially in the drums.
this video is so impressive and this format is perfect
You should take a look at a Soundgarden album. They pioneered grunge after all, they had been doing it since the mid eighties and were first of the big 4 to sign with a label.
I love this new video concept, I feel like you should follow this up with the influences in Nevermind, since you mentioned Bowie and Sonic Youth etc very briefly here and I would love to hear more.
Taking "Surfer Rosa" apart would also be great!!! Or "Hybrid Theory", or "Superunknown". Or "Nevermind", like you mentioned.
You never fail to deliver, my friend
This is such a dope series please do more
Love this album, and love this video! Your animation styles and video production just keep getting better and better-really. Side note, have you thought about covering neutral milk hotel? I think your style would mesh really well with their sound and aesthetic. Thanks for another great vid!
Another very well done video, my man, and what a perfect album on which to concentrate.
This was great. Thanks
Super creative video. Love this.
Great concept!
Brilliant as always
Love this channel. Such great taste in music.
Awesome been waiting for you to make something on nirvana
This was great. I'm definitely down for more record recipes 🙂
The video I've been waiting for years.
Really loved this video…would love to see an episode on Ok Computer!
Love this concept, that was awesome
Excellent work! thx!
Loved this, thank you! Would love to see a video on Pearl Jam's Ten!
Cool video, very well explained, thanks.
It would be so cool to have a Spotify playlist full of these influences!
Recipe analogy is perfect
This is funny and smart on so many levels, keep that concept!
Always a good day when polyphonic drops a vid
One of my favourites album of all time and favourite Nirvana album for sure, love the video
I loved it. Great artwork too.
I love this concept, make more of these! ❤❤❤
Love this poly!
This is my favorite type of music. I’d love to see you do a full length on the pixies
I remember getting a CD of In Utero back in middle school (early 2010s) at a flea market when I was first getting into heavier music. It has been one of my favorite albums ever since.
Oh this is such a fun concept! Im excited to see where it goes
Great video as usual with fantastic visual style. Well done.
Just one ingredient I found missing: there is a lot on the album, "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" in particular, that sounds a lot like The Jesus Lizard, and given their connection to Steve Albini and the fact that Nirvana did a split single with them I have to say they are certainly one of the major Influences on this album. Albini's own music with Big Black also.
Thank you.
I really love this video concept
I love this channel! 🤘🏼
Great video!
As ever, a pretty insightful and interesting. take on classic music. Love the content
the production valuue for this video is actually insane
this may be the best assessment of Nirvana I have EVER seen, well done 👍
Very amazing series
This format is crazy, I can't even imagine the amount of work and effort you put into researching these songs. Astonishing
Interesting format, other albums I can think of with some well blended influences that would be perfect for this (and you may already have queued up) would be the Pumpkin's Siamese Dream, Bowie's Low, Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly, Combat Rock, Hounds of Love (I know you did Kate Bush recently), So (Gabriel), Physical Graffiti, Meat Puppets II, Kid A and Sturgill Simpson's Sound and Fury
This is perfect like I am so impressed 😭
great video. just subscribed 👍
Saw Melvins 3 years ago, they're monsters. Dale Crover was absolutely amazing, what a drummer.
Good work yo! 🐦🩰💰🎭
Congrats on a million
An In Utero Chef that leaves out the Beatles 7th major chords on Serve the Servants, the opening track. And the ‘Cry Baby Cry’ seasoning on ‘Frances Farmer’. I’d like to send this dish back to the kitchen please
Ahhh the album that sang me to sleep for months. It is such a rich album that showed so many more paths open to the band.
My fave Nirvana album, now I know the artists they listened to make this masterpiece
