I love how you mention "Oh the next ones could be thrash metal or prog rock or fusion jazz" as a shot in the dark, because they literally have an album for all three of those genres
So I’ve heard!!!
Super glad you liked it. I would recommend Flying Microtonal Banana or Polygondwanaland next, but you could literally do any album and it would be fun nonetheless. Paper Mache Dream Balloon is fantastic as well
True. Paper Mache Dream Balloon would be the perfect change of pace after the tour de force of 'Nonagon Infinity'!
Paper Mache Dream Balloon is the album that sold me on King Gizzard, Nanagon Infinity was my first album but Paper Mache showed me just how versatile and great they really are as musicians.
Top album art from a top album!! What're your thoughts on Night Gnomes? Three of the tracks (bubblegum infinity, dread&butter, & lava lamp pisco) are already among my faves. Best album since high visceral pt1&2. imo
@@scotthayes8450 completely agree with you, it's my favorite since high visceral. Dread and butter is my favorite, I missed those strings so much.
Love the high Visceral album pic 👍
If this blew your socks off then Flying Microtonal Banana and Polygondwanaland should be next.
Definitely check out their live KEXP performances. Their front man, Stu Mackenzie, mixed all of those shows so their sonic aesthetic is just as good as their albums. Additionally, you’ll get a sense of the band’s live dynamic
It's hard to find a bad KGLW album. Nonagon is pretty damn high up there. It's undeniable. Murder of the Universe is an absolute fantastical psych doom rock journey. Flying Microtonal Banana is great. Im In Your Mind Fuzz was my first love of king gizzard
This album is in my top 3 albums of all time. It works so well as a unit and really has no weak track on it. I could listen to it flow into itself over and over, on some car rides I managed 3 times in a row, haha. It's called Nonagon Infinity because the nine songs flow into each other seamlessly and by listening to it on repeat you supposedly open a gate to hell and things like giant wasps and crocodiles come out. After a while you also notice that each track has features from the one before and the one after it. It really is incredibly well thought out and rocks so hard at the same time. Glad you liked it! Should you wish to venture deeper into the Gizzverse, Polygondwanaland is probably the next thing you could listen to, if you enjoyed their cleaner, polyrhythmic side in Crumbing Castle. Sorry for the wall of text, Jim, I just get a bit excited when King Gizz is involved.
PS: the drums on many of their albums sound so interesting because there are actually 2 drummers playing the same parts.
I share this excitement 😍🤣
I throw this on almost every time I go for a run haha. You'd really enjoy I'm in Your Mind Fuzz by them, one of their earlier albums and super psychedelic, the first half of the album flowing together as almost one song as well. That would also be the first of their "Gizzverse" albums which are interconnected. Nonagon Infinity is also part of that.
You should listen to their newest single off their upcoming album, it's called The Dripping Tap and it's 18 minutes long.
Absolutely love the dripping tap! Really excited to hear the rest of Omnium, should be really interesting revisiting the concept of gumboot and oddaments considering all they've tried since then
I know everyone says every album is different, and they are different, but most of their music could be categorized as psychedelic. But yea, there’s a synth pop album, there’s a thrash metal album, there’s a garage punk on, an Arabic rock, jazz, most recently they released two rap songs on their latest LP. Crazy stuff
There's a bit of fan service on there as well if you're familiar with I'm In Your Mind Fuzz. When I heard Nonagon Infinity for the first time I was just one big smile, and then the riff from I'm In Your Mind Fuzz came on and I almost burst out laughing with joy.
That hot water riff always feels so good in Robot Stop!
This was the album that drew me in, I absolutely adore it. But not the album that I listened to first, it wouldn't happen without Flying Microtonal Banana.
I remember browsing through some psychedelic rock compilations, seeing that ridiculous band name and that intriguing album name, and thinking that these guys are absolutely a must-listen band based on the name alone.
Flying Microtonal Banana was a bit too weird for the unprepared ears, though, so I checked out the other high rated album, which happened to be Nonagon Infinity, and after I did, their sound just clicked, and KGATLW remains my favorite band ever since.
And then I listened to Flying Microtonal Banana again, and it became my favorite album of theirs! Check it out if you decide to listen to more Gizz, it's absolutely amazing!
And we end where this record started.
There is one passage with a bossa groove that almost dives into Stereolab territory 😀
If you particularly enjoyed the track "Road Train", you'll absolutely love their 'metal' album 'Infest the Rats' Nest'.
I keep my fingers crossed that pandemia allows to finally see King Gizzard live this August (re-scheduled concert from 2020! Two bloody years...).
I would call this one "garage prog"
The ending to Road Train is amazing the gradual build up of tempo.
I'd suggest 'Paper Mache Dream Balloon' next THEN go listen to 'I'm In Your Mind Fuzz'
"It ends as it has begun..." : The Great Nothing by Spock's Beard from the album V.
At the end of Transatlantic’s Whirlwind album, there is an infinity sign ♾ produced with a synthesizer swirling from side to side.
believe it or not they have a entire western album that's narrated i think you would love it its just so crazy the range they have (Eyes Like The Sky)
I did tell you don't dare stop listening to them, and this is why! You must do every album, they're bloody brilliant, Can't recommend enough.
“We’re on to the last song.”
Well, yes. But also, no.
Hahaha, excellent few videos! These guys are my favorite band and it’s so fun to watch someone listen to them for the first time and love it!
I'm going to have to buy that on CD someday soon. Thanks for being part of the live chat! 🙂
There are very many KGLW CDs that need to be bought.
My top 3 Larry...
Butterfly 3000
Polygondwanaland
Papier Mache Dream Balloon
Though of course this one is ace....
Along with likes of Murder of The Universe, Infest The Rats Nest, Gumboot Soup.....and many more🥳👍
👻yeah they are relentless on each album....and in-between. 5 records in a year! They do vary styles yes....but they are like a giant patchwork jumper once youve heard most albums....2nd best band in the world!! And my best of 2021 for 2 phenomenal albums....(Opeth are my no.1 still ....)Music!😎🥳👏👏
"Wah-Wah" and a song called "The River" off their album "QUARTERS!" are the same melodically and rhythmically.
this is the quintessential gizzard album. they have a lot of great stuff, but this album is just too GIZZ
Interesting you guessed thrash metal, fusion jazz, and prog rock cause KGLW already got you covered lol Infest the Rats Nest, Sketches of Brunswick East, and Polygondwanaland if you’re so keen as to check em out
gotta do Flying Microtonal Banana next! Best album imo
Love the Mic! It’s cool that you play music on your channel, would love to do that as well!!
That band sounds so good !
It was a pleasure to meet you today on Larry’s live feed
Will definitely be checking out more if your videos Jim. Thank You for this my friend
Likewise, great to meet you too Robert! Looking forward to mod in the future 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@JimNewstead King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard sounds wonderful and a band I’d like to get into
King Gizz is definitely one of those bands that needs the Yes treatment...Jim needs explore all of their albums on this channel. It's a journey well worth it, as every album is different, yet similar at the same time. Such a great band.
I suggest going to my favorite KGLW album next: "Gumboot Soup".
When I was healthy this was a go-to running album! Every album these guys put out amazes me
absolutely brilliant stuff. Jaw droppingly great.
Welcome back champ!
Well looky here I'm a dolt, my UA-cam notifications leave something to be desired, welcome back anyway!
Thanks!!!! Glad to be back 😀👍🏼
Can’t wait to see you react to their other music! Love your reaction all 3 vids! Easy sub! 👌🏽🔥
Easy! Nice 👍🏼
Loved your reaction. This was my introduction to King Gizzard as well and I'm glad I started here. Seconding the comments that you should do some more King Gizzard reviews. 🙂
This was so fun!
Thrash Metal Album - Infest The Rats' Nest
Prog Album - Polygondwanaland
Fusion Jazz Album - Changes
arrived in the post today !
Awesome!
I'm so glad you loved this. Can't wait to see a Infest The Rats Nest review. Best thrash metal album I've heard in decades. Check it out!
They have a thrash metal album
you earned yourself a subscriber
Thank you!
i could be mis-remembering but im pretty sure this is the album that they recorded entirely in a shipping container kinda crazy tbh
Ha! That sounds kinda believable!
You're supposed to listen to this album on repeat
If I may, since you are going in this direction may I suggest finding There’s No 666 in Outer Space by Hella on CD
Polygondwanaland or K.G. + L.W. next!!
Kind of funny you started this album citing Hawkwind and the last track Motorhead. Maybe this album was a tribute to Lemmy!
Another of their albums which is 🔥🔥 infest the rats nest 👍
Funny you mentioned thrash metal, they have one LOL. Infest the rats nest
Yeah 16 pounds is a steal
