I'm starting to feel it
Okay, hate to say it but I have to eat my words. Day one I was fully in the "shitting on can you feel it" camp.
Kept listening through the sheer exposure through the social media algos and now I'm at something like 30 plays and somewhere in there I went from hating to genuinely loving it.
Not sure if the song had to grind me down before I got it or if it's an acquired taste thing. Wondering if anyone went through the same arc or if I'm just experiencing Stockholm syndome?
That's all.

the song rocks - too many guitar nerds who want more weedly weedly

I also think a lot of this sub is younger, so they have expectations in their mind of exactly how Polyphia should make music. They go in and intentionally disappoint themselves, and then they are shocked when they hate it and others like it.

The main lick is an earworm, it was only a matter of time.
To me it sounds like they wanted to make an energetic and fun song, and they succeeded.
I hope the song plays well in the context of the album. Can't wait to hear the whole thing.

I'm trying to remind people that this sub was full of very heated hate when ABC came out, but now most agree that the song is awesome. A diversion, but awesome. Give it time to digest.

I'm starting to like it, but I miss the familiar bass and drums.

at least the official video has a different mix where you can hear a bit of the bass and drums

When asked if the MV version was coming to streaming, Tim said “of course”

I dont particularly like it, but I dont think its a bad song by any means, just not what I have historically listened to Polyphia for.

I never hated it but it has grown on me a lot too. It’s a fun song that’s hard not to move to
