Claude says:Polyphia started as Texas metalcore kids who ditched the screaming and leaned into prog-rock fluency, weaving pop hooks and EDM shimmer into their fretboard gymnastics. Muse was their first full-length pivot toward that sound in 2014, layering guest guitarists over tracks that felt more like intricate instrumental pop than anything heavy. You grabbed it six years later in the fall of 2020 and burned through "Champagne" and "Aviator" for a month before moving on.
