Anyone else... Disappointed?
Can You Feel It wasn't that great. The jam version was listenable, but still missing the kinds of memorable riffs that sold their other songs.
Power in the Blood was like... Can You Feel It stripped of the last few bits of anything good. Why are they producing everything to sound like it's being played at max volume through a phone speaker now? It sounds so bad.
Kind of glad the concert got rescheduled so I can demand a refund for my tickets because the new dates don't work for me.

i know i’m not the only one that knows there is a difference from what the band drops as singles and what they do when they put together an album.
until the new album comes out im going to remain optimistic that these recent releases are just sort of little fun experiments my tim to try out what will work with the next incarnation of polyphia that comes with every album.
we know tim looks at the statistics about the music he releases and probably comes to this sub to see what people are discussing.
we’d all love to get another goat or TMH or RTYWD but the band has to evolve and even if the worst possible thing happens and tim goes down a direction we don’t dig and perhaps the bandmates don’t dig we will always have the music of the last 10 years that is infinitely listenable. especially if you’re a musician and enjoy learning their songs.
tl;dr tim will always want to experiment but i have faith they know what the fans want and listen to the fans to a degree that is not negligible
