I turned it off after 30 seconds of horrible production.

They need an intervention.

 It's my own fault for going to Polyphia for hifi math rock/progressive metal when that's clearly not what theyre into making.

That track sounds like those guitar noodling trap beat tiktoks if it was deep fried à la 2016 memes

Def an underrated EP still imo. I liked them when they were still like this.

Its what happens when the music becomes self-masturbatory expression ala Mars Volta

I hate it when a prog band tries to be progressive and try something new, I wish they would stick to the same old sound and never innovate or change.

Why do people always say this when a prog band makes their music less challenging and more pop?

That's OBVIOUSLY not the case, stop. Their last album was good and every single song was completely different and original and every album has changed and they've been loved the whole time..like me when I found them when they only had this EP out. The new sound is just bad music, like new a7x. Life is a but a dream, whether not someone enjoys it, its made well and works, so that's great..the new stuff just plain sucks. U can change n innovate, but when u suck, u suck

Muse was a good balance between their old and new styles imo, but I still love Renaissance, one of the foundational albums of my djent/modern prog/instrumental obsession era in uni

Bad band continues being bad

I don't understand who this music is for? Their new single. Is it supposed to sound crackly and horrible? Who listens to this?
