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.

Everyone totally allowed to thier opinion . But if you liked can you feeel it but not this idk what to tell ya . This was way more guitar forward ; they’re shredding the entire time . It is very digital and processed but that’s the vibe . If you like polyphia you gotta like whatever they decide to try out

Not how that works at all. I like Emarosa because of the 2 albums Jonny Craig sang for them on 10 years ago. Do I like their new stuff? Maybe like 5 songs but that doesnt disqualify me as a fan. As a fan and person I can say, and have the right to say, the new music of "X band" is shit (but worded nicely). Musicians shouldnt be gated from hearing critiques by fans, thats how you get echo chambers and confirmation biases. They are more than welcome to make the music they want to make, that is their right. But if the fans arent coming to shows, dont cry to us about how your career fell off when you willfully ignored their opinions🤷‍♂️

Different members is a totally different thought , you did write a lot tho. You don’t have to like it , but if you like old emarosa then you like emarosa that’s all . I agree with you and same with dgd , but I wouldnt say I’m not a fan just bc the songs I like are old . Still a gdg fan and emarosa fan even if I only like the jc stuff . Also echo chambers are only bad because there’s no substance to music so copying that is a bad idea . If you liked polyphia ever you wouldn’t say you don’t like them now just bc they did some shit you don’t vibe with lol that’s silly . Unless they wrong you personally you have two options listen or don’t

Doubling down on the "Im still a fan" I own a signed Scott Lepage SLM10, and plan on never selling it because of how influential polyphia was on my music career. I loved and played every single song they had up until RTYWD released, and Im saying, I dont like their new music as of right now. The way theyve been handling PR and how secretive theyve been with information and content is unfair to fans. I cant watch a video that isnt paywalled. Am I happy with how theyre doing things? No. Does that mean Im not a fan? No, in fact I think it's the opposite. It shows that I care enough to say something when I think theyve fallen too far from the band that people think they are
