Maturing

The sound really flows on the album.
Compared to the over-technicality and density of Muse, many tracks here show some tasteful restraint.
Sure, there are some border-line EDM infused tracks that can alienate some purists...but, it avoids the pitfalls of idiosyncratic Djent that plagues so many instrumental Prog bands. Which is very welcome.
Pick it up, and go for a long drive.
Awesome Work, Great for Studying too.

I love this album, it is awesome, and all of Polyphia's other work. That being said, if you are a student and need some perfect backgorund music to listen while getting through boring homework/studying, this will make life a little better and make homework more enjoyable.
One of the best albums

This is easily turning into one of my favorite albums of all time. This band has a sound that is unlike any other I have ever heard. Every single song on here is memorable.
I couldn't stop listening

I'm an RNB artist and I don't usually get much pleasure from alternative music...but this was an EPIC project. I'm hooked. "Ivory" is solid y'all!....keep killin it!
Such a great album!

Need a great instumental album to listen to at work or on a drive??? This is the one! If you dig Plini, Devin Townsend or Animals as Leaders, then you gotta give Polyphia a listen. So easy to listen to over and over. Great musicians and the record was mastered superbly.
10/10

Mad respect to anyone who can shred this well. You should check out their merch pages and single work too.
Love your music!

Nightmare and light are easily the best songs on the album. I would've given 5 stars but Culture Shock is just awful. I'm disappointed in the direction the band took but the album is still great.
Great album, but mostly forgettable

Great jams for the first few listens then becomes mostly forgettable. Haven't listened to it since the week it came out. I would suggest picking up Sithu Aye's new album if you want to hear something worth while.
Easy addition to my weekly playlist

This album is great in so many ways. After listening to a few songs from the album on youtube, it was an easy decision to purchase this album. This album is filled with great music that doesn't get boring and what I really like is that when it slows down, it still sounds good and has me bobbing my head, air guitaring, or playing air drums. I plan to listen the other albums from this band.
"Paradise" might be one of the best tracks ever created.

Can't get enough of Polyphia's guitar riffs. If you're a metalhead...you are required to purchase "Storm", "Paradise", and "Euphoria". Right now. Back out of this review and do yourself a favor, just buy this album.
Impressively arranged and fluid

I have never really been into instrumental albums although I'm a musician myself. Most instrumental/Prog Rock has seemed like a shred contest, but the arrangements on this albums actually feel and flow like true songs. They have a pop sensibility to them, but in a good way; the catchy memorable way.
Best Release Yet!

Super excited about this album. I feel like they have matured and evolved as musicians with this album. Gonna be playing this on repeat until the next album lol.

Perfection.

Many people will read this review and assume I'm a biased fanboy, which won't be further than the truth. The truth is that I (luckily) stumbled upon this band on YouTube as I was listening to CHON and The Contortionist.
I play the drums and have played music in bands with friends for many years of my life, so my appreciation for musical talent is very strong. These guys have that talent in spades - I believe you will be truly hard-pressed to find a band that has mastered their craft like Polyphia.
I don't buy musical albums...hardly ever. Because these days, it seems like most artists only put out one special song, and the rest is garbage. I will always make an exception for artists like Polyphia, who never fail to blow me away at least once in every single track - which isn't an easy thing to do.
Keep up the good work guys. The new music is elegant and sophisticated - yet powerful. I hope we can watch you expand into this category.
Extremely upbeat technical wizardry! Must buy albums, radical live show!
