These guys are special in that they are very technical, but also highly creative... that's sometimes a hard mix to find! I figured that as a musician, you would enjoy this. Thanks for the great reaction!
@EDGAR PLACENCIABAUTI - but also highly creative as the original comment mentions. Yes, math rock involves a lot of technicality, but some people still can’t write a tune that appeals both genuine and sells well. That’s why polyphia in this context are praised in such manner. There are many more factors of course but that’s an entirely new discussion
This. A lot of people focus so much on the technical side of things that they forget to make enjoyable music. Like wow sweep picking and shreds and shit, but your song isnt cohesive it just sounds like youre slapping together random recordigs
also masters of melody and Tim and Scott both have an intuitive sense of musical harmony. most technical playing misses this, and thus is often described as "soulless." i know that polyphia are sometimes also criticized in this way as well, but i find a lot of soul in their melodies. they remind me a lot of how Steve Vai blended technical prowess with more soul, which i think Steve also acknowledges in Polyphia since he decided to collab with them and figuratively 'passed the torch' in their MV together.
Probably one of the most genuine reactions videos of polyphia I’ve seen for a while. Kudos for not checking them out beforehand. You really looked shocked! 😀
@@MattFarkas I loved reliving my reaction through your reaction: a mix of disbelief, intrigue, and humility. I've been listening to this song at least 5 times a day for the past 2 months and it still blows me away. My entire music collection has been transformed temporarily into the Polyphia discography. Awesome reaction man, it's great feeling appreciation through others.
They draw their influence from rap, pop and electronic music. Tim Henson, the young guitarist, describes their music something like "rap on guitar". Thei stroke me as hard as Dream Theater first time and that was 20 years ago...I became instantly a fan and first time for 10 years I begun to play and lear guitar again. I'm not aiming that high, but though their music and motivation to play they have brought me unbelievable amount of joy in my life =)
I can feel the influence! But they've turned it into something else entirely. This was one of the more unique things I've heard on the channel, for sure.
Well tim also has been on a goons podcast and stated he used to be in a band that played 240bpm deathcore but he wouldn't even hint at where you could find their music
That is exactly whait i thought after hearing this for the first time. It hit me like Dream Theater did more than 20 yeras ago. Maybe the same way people had been hit by Van Halen.
I’m so immensely happy that being a virtuoso is becoming popular again. Polyphia is amazing. Definitely the largest collection of talent in one band in at least a very long time
Came here to comment that! Lol he said there wasn’t really a melody and I was like come on man it’s the same phrase over and over and over again!! Like .. same phrase different language. Translated a hundred times.
This song is indeed the GOAT. I find it surprisingly beautiful and listenable for how disjointed it is melodically. Haven't really delved too deeply into the rest of their discography, but nothing else I've heard from them has impressed me as much (from a songwriting perspective; obviously their technical skill is unimpeachable).
Definitely check out Tim Henson's youtube channel to get a better look at their songwriting process. He doesn't upload super often, but when he does it's always a banger. A lot of the stuff on his channel is going to be on their 4th album as well.
"This Kid can play guitar" Pretty much what I said - but on a higher level Im learning, I play metal, and as a beginner this technical skill is mindblowing. Earporn
it feels to me that polyphia really put in a lot of work into finding their sound. they came from really hard prog metal and slowly found themselves making guitar trap/hiphop influenced music
I feel like I have to. It's rare that a huge prog rock/metal guy like myself finds a band that can wow me with technicality like they did with this song. I'm excited to hear more!
It's math rock, these guys have absolutely changed that genre to what they are. The harmonics are rediculous and how they can use dissonant tones while still sounding bright as well. They are all good but Tim is a genius and the drummer is crazy skilled.
It's math rock with a lot of metal influence as they were a metal band. It's also a little bit of trap music and modern electronic music. The main genre is math rock though these days.
Polyphia definitely plays metal. I'd call it a variety of progressive metal, though it clearly takes inspiration from a wide variety of different styles and genres. Don't need heavy distortion in order to be classified as metal, in my opinion!
I'm on the fence, myself. I can hear the metal influence in their music, and they're definitely super progressive, but it feels like a new thing entirely. At least to me.
It's not metal. And it's ok. Metal community appreciates this band for musicianship and creativity. We don't need to consider it metal to give ourselves permission to like it publicly :p
I don't know how ANYONE can call this "metal" - it's progressive rock with a thick slammin' bass and trap drumming. I call it Trap-Prog, with a lot of other influences creeping in as the band finds its unique lane (Flamenco and Bossa Nova in "Playing God," for example.)
With a name like "Master Sword", I have to check out your band! Update: You bands singer is awesome. Great sound all around. And virtual happy hour is so fun! 💜💖🤟🏼
This song is probably one of the best indie rock songs ever, and definitely one of the best rock songs from the last few years. It's so masterfully crafted with some of the most unique and cool riffs I've heard in a long time. It's a fantastic song. Great to relax to.
This band is probably my favorite, I've listened to every single album and still remember watching there first videos. I can throw them on and not skip anything. If you want another one I recommend CHON
Yes, as a musician and composer I agree very much with you. Theyre not focused on creating a tune. Rather they create a musical space where the riffs are placed in a cyclic spiral formation enforcing very particular states. As a composer I often paint pictures and moods rather than just finding a catchy tune and I see something very similar with them.
So so cool of you to be so genuinely stoked about this. I found this song less than a week ago and raised the views by a million lol. Such a weird band! Such a trip. The next song, “Nasty” literally gave me chills at one point. Not an easy feeling to get nowadays. Great video man!
I'm so happy to see you enjoyed it. That genuine reaction also made me genuinely happy. This song is something unique and I'm glad you got to enjoy it the way you did.
Glad you liked it!! I try to keep all my reactions genuine, so I don't typically have a lot of "jaw dropping" moments, but this song is an exception. I had no idea what I was getting into. 😂
worth a listen to one of their albums/EP's for one of your album review sessions. its definitely a vibe, and each one has a particular theme to it. they are fantastic.
Nightmare official music video is one of my favorite Polyphia songs and Tim Henson (main guitarist in the song you just reacted to) has a killer solo in the badass song Liftoff by Skyhaven
I get that feeling every time I hear this. My mind has trouble comprehending what is happening when they come together after the moments of individual showcasing. Well composed piece
I know I'm late but this seems like a controlled chaos. The melody and the harmonics and the beat and the bass feels like all over the place and yet synchronized.
I dont know what it is about reactions... something about someone who knows WAY more than I do as impressed if not more than me just makes me happy. Almost like they are validating that Yes, in fact i do have a good ear for amazing things!
Just so you know,there's no keyboards in it,it's all Tim Henson's guitar virtuosity,I strongly suggest you check out Unprocessed,if you think these guys are good,wait til you hear Manuel Gardner Fernandes,you are in for a SERIOUS shock...the tones they are a changin!!!
They all are playing in the same 1, 2, 3, 4 pocket of rap scheme of the intro bell chime melody. Which is nuts.... Since it doesn't sound like it when they play unless you look at the tabs or time it with a metronome.
The music box from hell is the perfect intro and exit from this disturbingly great piece.I had to listen to this three times to convince myself it wasn't just Pro Tools. These guys are legit. 🙃✌🤙🤘
G.O.A.T. = Greatest Of All Time This is what is called a "flex track" it's all about exhibition of skill and technical prowess. If you want something that is a lot more melodic and in my opinion a moving piece by Polyphia; check out the track "Goose"
Ooh, okay. You have me intrigued. I certainly enjoyed this, but as a songwriter I am interested in hearing something a bit more melodic. Thanks for the heads up!
I just heard this song for the first time today and I genuinely can't comprehend it. Granted I never got fully into writing music but this literally is so far above my head 😂
I felt the same thing first time I listened GOAT from polyphia : Waow, what's this ?? Interesting, never heard that kind of music !! Listening something really new is rare.
Polyphia.....you either love or hate them. I LOVE them. I went to reaction crowd. Some dad, downed them and he was a musician. You, as well as I, was majorly impressed. I grew up as a bluegrass guitar player. These guys made me a fan of this unique style much like Django did in the 30's with only a thumb and two workable fingers.
lil Timmy is the G.O.A.T. For our era. He’s still young as well, and Scotty too. They’re amazing and you should react to “look but don’t touch” by them.
Polyphia is pretty great. If you want a super catchy melody - "Polyphia - Euphoria". Tim and the gang make some amazing riffs. I love his part from Jared Dines' shred collab. Btw. Conception's last 2 albums ("My Dark Symphony (EP)" and "State of Deception") are fantastic if you haven't checked those out. Have you heard any Plini yet? He is the modern coming of tasteful yet technical guitar playing where songwriting comes first. :D Check out Electric Sunrise (Rick Beato did a breakdown of it on his channel, if you care for that stuff :)), Selenium Forest or any other song. Other than that, Riverside has fantastic songs check 'em out.
Polyphia. Aviator, nasty, champagne, James franco and euphoria. And lit. Also check out some jason richardson luke halland stuff. Hos down ,tendinitis and retrograde.

Jimi improvised solos, these guys are more like a classical ensemble
Everyone loves the guitarist, but their drummer is amazing.
Oh, absolutely. They're all at the top of their game.
Appreciate the bass also 🙏🫡
A band of virtuosos
"I don't know who the singer is" Sir I believe that would be the guitar lmfao. Great reaction
Probably one of the most genuine reactions videos of polyphia I’ve seen for a while. Kudos for not checking them out beforehand. You really looked shocked! 😀
It's not often that I'm completely blown away by the skill of musicians, but this is one of those times, lol.

Agree
Love this
The fact that he said “Jesus Christ!” Right when Scott LePage showed up was hilarious xD
It's almost like a rap formula how each member has their own verse.
I feel the rap/hip hop influence hard
They draw their influence from rap, pop and electronic music. Tim Henson, the young guitarist, describes their music something like "rap on guitar".

It’s a new jazz basically.
They stroke you?!?!?!
That is exactly whait i thought after hearing this for the first time. It hit me like Dream Theater did more than 20 yeras ago. Maybe the same way people had been hit by Van Halen.
Tim Henson is the future of rock guitar. He is the Jimi Hendrix for this time in our lives
Jimmy Hendrix wouldn't play that shit.
@@erickarias3309 I think you mean “couldn’t” lol
@@b.ghosty9749 no
I think he’s the most original (known) guitarist in the world right now
💯
I’m so immensely happy that being a virtuoso is becoming popular again. Polyphia is amazing. Definitely the largest collection of talent in one band in at least a very long time
It sounds fresh-perfectly said. To the music world-fresh is a word we haven't heard much in the last couple decades.
The bell melody from the beginning actually continues through the whole song
Came here to comment that! Lol he said there wasn’t really a melody and I was like come on man it’s the same phrase over and over and over again!! Like .. same phrase different language. Translated a hundred times.
If you actually breakdown the rift note by note, you’ll actually hear the chime bell melody within it, which blew my mind!
WTF, I didn't even notice that! 😨
Stop, WTF?! I just discovered these guys a week ago and I can't stop being amazed them.
“Holy shit.”
“Jesus Christ.”
“Oh my God.”
These were also my reactions first time through.
"why haven't i heard this before"-says everyone that hears this for the first time-awesome video
This song is indeed the GOAT. I find it surprisingly beautiful and listenable for how disjointed it is melodically. Haven't really delved too deeply into the rest of their discography, but nothing else I've heard from them has impressed me as much (from a songwriting perspective; obviously their technical skill is unimpeachable).
Definitely check out Tim Henson's youtube channel to get a better look at their songwriting process. He doesn't upload super often, but when he does it's always a banger. A lot of the stuff on his channel is going to be on their 4th album as well.
Try the song Euphoria by them.
Try and listen, the worst
Maybe "Euphoria" might interest you.
Bad and O.D. are really good
Dude, check out the song O.D. by them! It's simply amazing!!!
second OD, it gives such an amazing reaction every time
"This Kid can play guitar" Pretty much what I said - but on a higher level Im learning, I play metal, and as a beginner this technical skill is mindblowing. Earporn
it feels to me that polyphia really put in a lot of work into finding their sound. they came from really hard prog metal and slowly found themselves making guitar trap/hiphop influenced music
With a lot of metal influence still held from back in their beginnings.
great stuff, please dive more into polyphia for us. this song gets people into them, and every subsequent video will do your head in
I feel like I have to. It's rare that a huge prog rock/metal guy like myself finds a band that can wow me with technicality like they did with this song. I'm excited to hear more!
@@MattFarkas pretty disappointed that you never did ://
@@MattFarkas - Check out "Ego Death" (Steve Vai...) Killer....
It's math rock, these guys have absolutely changed that genre to what they are. The harmonics are rediculous and how they can use dissonant tones while still sounding bright as well. They are all good but Tim is a genius and the drummer is crazy skilled.

@@themakerstoolbox9688 I remember seeing in an interview somewhere that Tim doesn’t like to describe their music as math rock
This isn't math rock whatsoever.
@@DaemonJerky yeah nobody cares
You want rediculous math metal rock listen to "the dillinger escape plan" they are insane.
2:34 That was literally my first thought after hearing GOAT. You have absolutely no idea what's happening but you know it slaps as fuckk
Really enjoyed your analysis and reaction summary at the end. I'm also very glad you went into it cold, made for a much more impactful reaction!
4:50 THIS is exactly what I said about Polyphia too. And their styles become a melodical tune from the gods themselves
I like watching people reacting to this song to relive the moment i heard it for the first time
Polyphia definitely plays metal. I'd call it a variety of progressive metal, though it clearly takes inspiration from a wide variety of different styles and genres. Don't need heavy distortion in order to be classified as metal, in my opinion!
I'm on the fence, myself. I can hear the metal influence in their music, and they're definitely super progressive, but it feels like a new thing entirely. At least to me.

Your personality is so delightful omg, it's so refreshing listening to you!
Thank you, Katinka!!! I really appreciate that. 😁 Glad you enjoyed the video!
"This kid can play guitar"
Oh my sweet summer child. You have no idea.
What an incredible day for me, I get to watch one of my favorite guitarist of the band I love react to another band I love for the first time!
Aww, thanks so much dude!! That means a lot. Glad you're enjoying my music and videos. And Polyphia rocks!
Man discovers math rock
"There's not really a melody"
Exactly the point
Not math rock. Tim says as much (Henson, not me). All their stuff is in 4/4.
LOVE THE SMILES THIS REACTION CREATED!!!
Their song “nasty” is a must listen. Especially if you like metal
This!
Still one of my favorites by them. Absolute gold
their whole discography is phenomenal! highly recommend taking a deep dive into their stuff!
With a name like "Master Sword", I have to check out your band!
Update: You bands singer is awesome. Great sound all around. And virtual happy hour is so fun! 💜💖🤟🏼
Thanks Max!! Lily is indeed pretty amazing. Glad you're enjoying the music!

Surprise! As soon as you called them a metal band I knew he was going to be shocked. I smiled through the whole thing at you your reaction.
This band is probably my favorite, I've listened to every single album and still remember watching there first videos. I can throw them on and not skip anything. If you want another one I recommend CHON

the dishonored stuff on the background made me like the video almost immediately. Good reaction brother
Check out chon. They are probably the most similar to polyphia that ive found but they are less electronic and trap influenced
Agreed. Bubble dream or Sleepy Tea are some of my personal favorites from Chon.
Yes! Chon is awesome!
Chon is amazing but is more to lofi hiphop and polyphia is gangster rap
Another amazing one, same genre but a little different, Plini is a great band
Yes Chon 👏
I'ts so out of this world how tight they sound
After underground music ,now we have this new sound.
It's already in other planets and now we lucky to hear it.
Polyphia are incredible! One of my fave bands for sure! Although I’m verrrrry late to this reaction, I’m subbing for more. 🖤
LOL when u said jesus christ and the guitarist with the long hair stands up with the light shining behind him through the windows Im like AMEN!
Next level stuff... loved your reaction the faces you made... VERY COOL
Good evening and welcome to the Guitar Tech end of year show.
I have seen them live. And I know how insanely talented these 'kids' are. And that bassist. He turns into Hulk when he enters the zone.
I'm so happy to see you enjoyed it. That genuine reaction also made me genuinely happy. This song is something unique and I'm glad you got to enjoy it the way you did.

I clicked link above and im not power metal fan but introoooo is super good with really nice vocals! 🤘
Thank you!!
Finally a reaction where the video doesn't get paused, ty sir :D
Seems to be hit or miss with some people, glad you enjoy the format!

These guys are legit.
🙃✌🤙🤘
That reaction was exactly my reaction when I first saw G.O.A.T.
Would love to see you react to some of their other songs too!
I'd like to! Planning on more in the future
This is actually a reinvention of the spirit of flamenco music.
my ear and brains came like 10x . listening to this song, harharharhar
This is an EDM song played entirely on guitars
G.O.A.T. = Greatest Of All Time
This is what is called a "flex track" it's all about exhibition of skill and technical prowess. If you want something that is a lot more melodic and in my opinion a moving piece by Polyphia; check out the track "Goose"
Ooh, okay. You have me intrigued. I certainly enjoyed this, but as a songwriter I am interested in hearing something a bit more melodic. Thanks for the heads up!
That's fucking genius
I see those extended editions of the LotR movies back there and I respect you.
I just heard this song for the first time today and I genuinely can't comprehend it. Granted I never got fully into writing music but this literally is so far above my head 😂
Love that Corvo Attano mask!
Thanks! I think you're the first person to mention it in the comments section. 😮
Sitting open mouthed for a minute! Great reaction to a fn awesome band!
Why haven't I heard them before ... Im a year behind you brother. I'm reminded by online chess preparation in the details of planning or arrangement
This is literally me the first time I heard this song. Still gives me goosebumps. Such a creative song.
40oz, od and nasty are some of my favorites
They were once Prog Metal but has since evolved into a more math rock/prog rock/trap music styled theme
i love how you said "Jesus Christ" on Scott's riff while he's in a church
I felt the same thing first time I listened GOAT from polyphia : Waow, what's this ?? Interesting, never heard that kind of music !!
Listening something really new is rare.
Blew my mind!
Polyphia.....you either love or hate them. I LOVE them. I went to reaction crowd. Some dad, downed them and he was a musician. You, as well as I, was majorly impressed. I grew up as a bluegrass guitar player. These guys made me a fan of this unique style much like Django did in the 30's with only a thumb and two workable fingers.
It's been a minute since something got my attention like polifia .... definitely unique...you were shocked as well lol 👍
their 'renaissance' album is definitely worth listening to. it was before they adopted this style, really pretty
The word you're looking for is metal jazz
3:11 “Jesus christ” was my exact reaction the first time😂
The best way I can describe their sound is this: analog dubstep.
Sounds like 4 phenominal musicians who are conducting a shared experiment in time (signature).
Also when u learn the metronome is actually the drummer keeping the entire track stable is mental
lil Timmy is the G.O.A.T. For our era. He’s still young as well, and Scotty too. They’re amazing and you should react to “look but don’t touch” by them.
Think i love in polyphia goat specially is that they have solo for each instrument from guitar bass and drum
Yep we all feel the same way when we first hear this lol
EDIT: PS - they can play this live too. Exact (as far as I can tell at least ha)
The fact they play this live
Some classical with alot of hendrix and alot of modern electronic influence for the writing and of course alot of Tim showing off
Really like this description
I first heard Polyphia on an artist's Twitch stream and I've been listening to them ever since. O.D. and Nasty are my favorite.
Tim Henson the lead guitarist writes his songs on a program on his computer and then finds a way to play it on guitar that is why it sounds so unique
Let's play the Polyphia drinking game
Step 1: Drink every time Tim plays a harmonic
Step 2: Try not to die
😂😂😂
They are a younger version of animals as leaders. With a bassist.
Polyphia is pretty great. If you want a super catchy melody - "Polyphia - Euphoria". Tim and the gang make some amazing riffs. I love his part from Jared Dines' shred collab. Btw. Conception's last 2 albums ("My Dark Symphony (EP)" and "State of Deception") are fantastic if you haven't checked those out.
Have you heard any Plini yet? He is the modern coming of tasteful yet technical guitar playing where songwriting comes first. :D Check out Electric Sunrise (Rick Beato did a breakdown of it on his channel, if you care for that stuff :)), Selenium Forest or any other song.
Other than that, Riverside has fantastic songs check 'em out.
