Personal Thoughts

I’ve been meaning to check these guys out for years and I’m glad I finally did. This was a really good listen, I’m excited to check out more of the band’s work. My favorite track was Loyalty.

    Such a wonderful unique album from gizz. One of my favorite bands and probably my favorite opener of all their albums.

    Man I love this album so much. I listened to it first in mid-late 2018 and it really sent me down a rabbit hole. Since then, King Gizzard has very much become my undisputed favorite band. Polygondwanaland is still perhaps my favorite album, I go out of my way to make listens extremely special so I don’t wear it out for myself.

    I think a more recent album that is closest to Polygondwanaland in concept is last year’s Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, and Lava where each song is supposed to use a different Greek musical mode.

    I’m glad you liked it! I love king gizz. You might enjoy I’m Im Your Mind Fuzz, it’s my reccomendation for an introduction to them.

    I’ve seen crumbling castles live and it is absolutely crazy how they get you lost in their set.
