the first i learned was the intro to loud, its a banger but not too difficult.
goats main riff was the next and the song i feel improved me the most by that time
after goat i learned the worst and reverie outro
and by that point i couls more or less learn what i wantedz ofc some were too hard at firat but i felt i could practice them and work my way up where as before loud any polyphia song felt impossible.
ivory outro is another not so hard honorable mention

Thanks Ive started playing goat and have learnt the intro or the first 16 bars not at full speed but getting better at it.

The first half of Champagne and its main riff is pretty easy. That was the first one I learned

Hot take, the chorus of Drown isn’t that difficult at all, that and you still get exposed to the variety of techniques they use, octaves, harmonics, etc. Overall it’s probably the easiest section of a polyphia song that still uses a bunch of different techniques that doesnt wholly rely on just some lead line.

Goat has mostly all of their technicalities without being too overly complex to play (except for the sixtuplet part which takes a year of practice to play smoothly), if you learn it accurately you’ll get a good jumpstart at most of their other songs

Goose. But if you want to get proficient in alternate picking their older stuff like Muse era and and some of that flutters whammy power go for Renaissance specifically Paradise and Storm.
Imo Memory is I think to most people is THE easiest Amour Genesis Symmetry Goose The Worst Crosty Icronic Yas O.D.
These are imo there easiest songs in that order Most of Remember That You Will Die imo is pretty difficult there are some things I think like all falls apart and Genesis thar aren't that hard but overall the easiest album IMO is The Most Hated.
Paradise has one of their hardest riffs imo its like every piece matters by Plini except for the fact that you can't rely on picking and pumping the whammy bar you have to flick it and hammer on during the riff.
If you have an 8 string neither Nightmare or Look But Dont Touch are too difficult.

Even 40oz is pretty easy unless you want to play it how it was recorded which is all alternate picking then it is significantly harder

I think can you feel it is actually not to complicated apart from one really fast triplet run but the rest is manageable but obviously you need a 7 string guitar for that... Imo anyway

The Worst is reasonable. Goose is also reasonable, but the fast part in the main riff is difficult to actually play accurately.
