Claude says:Polyphia's fourth album hit number one on the Hard Rock charts and won Guitar World's reader poll for best guitar album of 2022, with Steve Vai's solo on "Ego Death" taking best solo honors. You got into it a year after release in mid-2023, then let it sit until a serious comeback run two years later — February 2026 was particularly busy, and you kept going through summer. "Playing God" and "Genesis" with Brasstracks still get the most action, but you clearly work the whole thing front to back.
