Thanks Chino

Dude's Sade impression is ON POINT. These guys are much better with vocals, imo. In this case at least.

When they laid back and let it vibe it was perfect with Chinos vocal style.

Polyphia can write a melody, they just ruin it so often with their OMG I SNORTED MY A.D.D MEDS, PLAY ALL DA NOTES, BABA DADA CHICKY CHICKY style. (And the drums are almost abrasive)

That said, I hope this might be their path forward, working with vocalists. Throw in a good producer that can convince them to lay back and set a groove and I think they could do something cool.

Is this the only thing they've done with a singer?

That I’m aware of, but I’m not a Polyphia fan generally speaking.

If I want Chino I have the Deftones.

They may have their own "style," but for me it's more predictable and scripted than
what they loathe about them other "genres" they want to die.

They must be using the QC pitch shifter.

I hear they used a `Fractal` but..on fw 5.03 ( That was only 87.87666 % real)

You can tell by the video who this band makes music for. Middle class white dudes who splooge all their money on Hi-Def Apple displays.

I agree. The mix fell apart when they went to the heavy bits.

 

[James Freeman]

WTF

I like a wide variety of musical styles going back 100’s of years.

Polyphia/Tim Henson just isn’t one of them.

I always feel like I’ve walked into an arcade whenever I hear some of it.

 

[DrewJD82]

I agree. The mix fell apart when they went to the heavy bits.

Because they didn’t actually let it be heavy. That section came up and I’m waiting for some kind of dynamic rise/emphasis saying “THIS IS THE F*CKIN’ HEAVY PART, b*tch!” but it was just the same dynamic as the rest of the song.

That said, it was definitely my favorite thing I’ve heard from them yet. Lots of Vai-isms in that solo, too.

I am not sure if we ought to applaud Chino/Vai jumping on the Trending Bandwagon or not.
