I need some recommendations, I'm new. Please hear me out.

Like every average Joe I used to listen to the viral mainstream songs and didn't have my own taste as such, then I discovered Marcin and was extremely impressed and became a fan. And then slowly Ichika, Bernth, Matteo Mancusso, Guthrie Govan, Mateus Asato, I built the Sky etc and I really loved their style, the phrasing etc. Especially Guthrie, Mateus, Matteo but then I discovered Polyphia and soon I was a super fan of them. I love polyphia's entire discography, then I saw a short of polyphia being drunk and watching Meshuggah live. I didn't know what Meshuggah was but thought if they are watching them then there must be something and I tried listening to Bleed and fricking hated it, 5-6 months after that I discover Animals as Leaders, Unprocessed, Sleep Token, Tesseract, STARSET, Art by Numbers, Artificial language, Periphery and I'm a fan of all of them. I haven't listened to entire discography yet(except AAL) but I'm already loving them. I tried Meshuggah again too and I seemed to like it a little but couldn't understand the madness like only 20% and after some researching I found out that you have to follow the rhythm with your foot or something and then you'll realise the guitars revolving around it and then slowly get into trance and well that is the problem. I can't properly count even 4/4 so I'm going to start learning but for the time being I'm unable to enjoy Meshuggah really. And yesterday I listened to "And Everything In Between" by Unprocessed and it was FUCKING INSANE. One of the best albums I've ever heard, the harsh vocals are really good and I like them better than Spencer's from Periphery but they are more djent while I think this album was more metal. I really like the production , the screams, the melody, the soft vocals, the panning overall it was incredible combo and I want to hear more such music. I don't know if anyone else blends stuff like this but I think this is more metal and I really enjoyed it but I haven't really listened to metal so I'm a noob. Please educate me with some recommendations keeping this album in mind and other stuff too if you feel like suits how my music taste is expanding.

Thanks in advance for all those who've read this long post and hopefully are gonna share recommendations.

Just wanted to share my pain as a 450 elo.

I had this game in my bag, I knew how to mate with queen and king and chased the king but forgot that I should not play g6 and bring the king to deliver a kiss mate or queen kiss mate or whatever that is called. I was stressed since I was low on time.

Also the elo prediction that chess.com does after the game, is that accurate? Like for this game it predicted my game to be like a 900 elo but I don't know since I'm not really improving my rating, it is quite stagnant and my opponents seem strong. Even when they aren't strong and I know they are breaking opening principles or playing weird moves I'm unable to figure out how to punish them.

I've been following Bernth for a while and he finally decides to play "Playing God" I didn't expect such people to be there in Bernth's comment section cuz he himself does a lot of technical stuff.

I was checking the comments and first saw one hate comment and I was getting ready to reply but then saw multiple and decided against it since I cannot reply to so many dudes.

It's been a while since this has been done, Maximum response would be great. Your favourite song from every ep/album.

For me:

Inspire - Inspire

Muse - Champagne(I think this one will be the most unanimous)

Renaissance - Euphoria(I prefer the live version with the drum solo, only if it were in the studio version too) & Paradise

The Most Hated - Loud

New Levels New Devils - Bad & Drown( Both are goated) - Honourable mention to GOAT and OD too, but it's bad and drown over those 2 for me.

Remember That You will Die - Playing God and Ego Death - Honourable mention to Chimera and Bloodbath too.

With polyphia I think there are a lot of great songs in each album that due to certain aspects for a fan one song might take the crown over other. Like NLND is full of bangers and and even in RTYD I didn't talk about Reverie since I personally find it a little repetitive and I left out Neurotica too though it is a great song but I can see if it is the best song for others. Also I honestly think Paradise is such an underrated song bro, bad too.
