I told my friend that his musical IQ would be permanently altered after listening to this. He's been drumming since we were like 15 and we're almost 40. Still can't touch any of these guys. It's like every member reinvented how to play their instruments. Every time I listen to this album, I'm more and more just blown away by how fantastic it is. So happy I found this. Kinda upset I didn't find it sooner, lol.

have you listened to their EP, or muse? amazing pieces of work and if you listen to the EP->muse->renaissance->TMH->NLND you can hear the DRASTIC change happen so gradually its amazing. glad i been listening through it all since a kid. even have a signed muse cd lol

The thing is, they were probably being inspired by musicians of your era. Nothing to be upset about. It’s just the evolution of music. You should be proud knowing people like you helped spawn these guys. Rock on bro!

This album is a masterpiece. Absolutely incredible.

Everything they do is flawless.

Love the art you chose for each song

Seconding this!

Thirding this!

Fourthing this!

Went in with low expectations, was completely blown away.

These bois don't mess around

Pooof mind blown

Low expectations is the best way to be blown away, high expectations can produce the opposite effect

One of the best albums i've encountered in the past year

This album will always have a special place in my heart.

This album's the soundtrack to my training arc

gives me goosebumps every time, still can't pick a favourite, light, nightmare, florence, amour, euphoria, bittersweet dude this album is crazy

This album is Amazing!

Mindblowing album, just doing some homework and listening to this, kinda blues but rocky. Cool. Awesome. You too.

Este disco es una joya!

really good album, love it.

Lovely, musical, full of soul .)

My favorite songs off the album are: Florence, Amour, and Euphoria

Florence is so fucking good

Amour is one of my favs. So is paradise and storm

I'm mad at myself for just recently discovering these guys. Unreal. Thanks wsou pirate radio!

What an album!!! Outstanding

Absolutely incredible music

This band is absolute.

The build up for Nasty is quite something. The whole album is.

Can't believe only ~190,000 views. This album is pure gold

the guitar drums and everything is BADASS

Great songs!

I am suffering from the "...where the Fk have I been?" syndrome. I just heard Polyphia for the first time about 2 weeks ago. And, I thought Guitar Heroes were a relic of the past. Not so, the future is in some very capable hands... Thx for the experience.

I found out about them last week from Davie504.

Me too, here I was thinking rock has stopped evolving and everything was a rehash or a throwback. I have pleasantly been proven wrong, this stuff is the future!

Guitar heroes are very real in the present. Plini, I Built The Sky, Scale The Summit are all outstanding musicians. Glad you jumped the bandwagon

For me you are the best.. incredible composition.. drummer from an other planet...the band GOD...(i was 53years old ex HC manager) INFECTED YOUTH 2lps 3tapes 1988-1989... great my friend..

Great album and great video ,thanks mate!!

Espectacular.

God level album

I always wonder how they look at their set list and know what song to play

Just opened animals as leaders - physical education while working on a project and I did not checked what is playing, being a stranger to AaL I thought this beautiful piece of music was played by AaL very good job guys.

4:24…..wanna hear more of this at extended length

Holy shit. Awesome! ❤️❤️❤️

I feel like I know you maybe remnants of Artifex, regardless … I fkn love this. Satan loves smooth jazz and so do I.

11:13 Best part

nightmare tho, sooo good

Mind blowing

Best f. Album on the planet. They need to get back to this style.

yeah man... cant stand the latest stuff... this was fun

@V. H. It might help to try to actually wrap your mind around their big picture. Take a step back and truly appreciate the journey they're on by comparing their Inspire EP to Renaissance, then to New Levels. In ~7 years they've progressed more than many musicians could even imagine in a lifetime.

How does 5 plus human beings create such listenable music to all off us that apreciate it THAnKS to a person who lives in south Africa 9th st studios scott love you man for introudcing me to this band.

Thank for the full album

fuck it this album is so good

From🇲🇾👍 all Song the best 19:25 🌻🍃🌾

Hmm.... I actually like 40 Oz and Playing God more than this whole album. But the standouts to me are Symmetry, Amour, Ivory

You can almost perfectly decode Culture Shock as Clock Structure by reusing a few letters and having a left over H.

Soooo gooood!

Unpopular opinion: This cool and they're obviously ridiculously technically proficient, but I feel like this is all at one level (intense), and my ears get sick of it really fast.

this contain my highschool memories

This album is better than New Levels New Devils

Yeah even though I love a lot of their new songs a ton, and have favorites of the albums that came after this one, I think this will continue being the album I always come back to.

This is good stuff. Joe Satriani was doing this kind of stuff 20 years ago not to diminish what Polyphia is doing but just recognizing the pioneers.

20? make that 40

all that butter sweep picking mmmmmm

after listening to Joe Satriani for the first time (thanks for the Discovery man) I can't really understand what they have in common

Wtf can you explain what they have in common?

This reminds me of Liquid Tension Experiment.

Pure Climax

Old metalhead me, checking out who these guys are. They might look like a just a bunch of pretty boys, but damn...these guys can play something awesome. Yeah I know, fuck me and my prejudices.

completeley agree. I'm only 23 years old, so not an old metalhead, but a guy who likes oldschool stuff and these guys blew me away.

amazing

Great!

Ivory ♥️

Best riff ever

Sounds good

How the fuck do you always come up with the best fucking hooks.

am i tripping or does paradise have moaning sounds sampled in it??

Man this didnt used to have ads

bruh, just use ad block

What? Don't let any old schoolers that there is no good music today, nothing original and that young musicians don't have any energy, bullshit. This is light years beyond anything' back in the day.' I was there...

djent...come back to earth!

theres na year details, what year this album??

Very sad my cd this lost. I had it box only. ,,,

Someone knows the name of the sculpture album??

Renaissance

My first thoughts: "Hey, sounds like animals as.... Holy shit...."

Animals of what? I'm looking for good instrumental metal so just wondering!

@Morgan Davis animals as leaders. Check it out!

"storm" timecode is wrong. Its 15:56 xD

246,660 views. starting to feel like half of them are mine.

btw , See ya soon in NOLA with I, the Mighty

APAGS // Positive Energy // 🧬❤️🧑‍🍳👩‍⚕️ | NBWA // Kappa Kappa Psi & Phi Mu Alpha (Gramblinite)

WTFis this shit?? Shredding like it’s some great day. Crushed

Bittersweet, Crush.

Is this still post rock

Not post rock at all, mate

Yes it is.

Can not discribe this, shit!!!!!

rawr x3

@Berserker Guts Kinky

Lsd trip background

I would not recommend tripping to this, too inorganic and technical, unless you just want to have a bad trip. Feel free but fairly warned.

@Ken Ray Wilemon what WOULD you recommend then?

@Evan Getson the contorsionist

@Evan Getson maybe you can try their other album, New Levels New Devils

@Evan Getson psydub is the way for a nice trip

Hi, why the fuck is this still not available on amazon

абв где ёж))

Some lyrics would be nice

Yep weak

Everything sounds so direct-digital-protoooly-nonorganic-notalive lighten up boys...

yacht-step prerequisites

so?

nothing wrong with that ;)

@Héctor Arribas that's exactly what I meant too ;)

the highly polished sound is part of the appeal to me
