King Gizzard's Approach to Writing Genre Themed Albums 

I'm gonna say their best album is Polygondwanaland. It displays their mission statement in full: "Let's try this, but make sure we get it right". Psychedelic sound, the woops and delay screeches, time signature fuckery and polyrhythms galore. It is THE essential KGLW album.

Their sonic aesthetic is why I love everything they put out. I'm very much a tonal listener, some of the genres Gizz explores tend to sound very dry and plain. But KGLW's production is always so rich and consistent, so it doesn't feel jarring switching between folk and metal.

My favorite gizz album is probably Nonagon Infinity (don't think I need to elaborate, it's amazing) or maybe Murder of the universe, since that was the one that got me into gizz. I also don't mind the spoken word passages that everyone seems to shit on. Rats nest is probably my third favorite too.

It was so wild when I first discovered their music, like another universe opening up for me. They influenced me greatly in how I approach making music and my musical taste got much more diverse. They rock. Also good job with the video, I enjoyed it man!

I like how they have a lot of Australian references in thier music eg the Kookaburras call in Doom City, the Bush Ranger and Billabong (which is a name of a watering hole) in Billabong Valley. And Brunswick East (a suburb in Melbourne), hey Ive been there. And East West link, etc. When your Australian, it's good to hear stuff that you can relate too. I mean, I like the song Going to California for example, but I can't relate to it as much as stuff that is from what I call home. My favourite album is Polygondwanaland. Wasn't Australia part of that land? 🤔 Maybe. Sometimes I think I can hear influences of other Australian bands too. Maybe 🤔 even Australian European folk music. So I think this also makes them great to listen to. I don't think OS listening would pick that stuff up. But GizzLizz definitely has a influence from thier countrys roots. Great video 💚🦖

Very detailed explanation, personally I look at Paper Mache Dream Balloon to see an evolution in thought. Songs like Trapdoor, Most of what I like, and Paper Mache were used as blueprints for songs in other albums, as well as Gumboot Soup which you mentioned briefly which is the most self aware album I’ve heard in a while

I love when random YTers post videos where it’s just saying how cool King Gizzard are also thanks for making it! Hmmm favourite album is Polgondwandland just because the music is so very intresting and had a weird odd plot or Infest the rats nests because I can scream my head off and get annoyed at life and it handles the topics of it so well and it’s just amazing to have on.

The best way I can describe those moments in their songs like the breakdown at the end of Crumbling Castle, and other epic moments like it, is “controlled chaos” and I LOVE IT

In the meantime between the release on this video and now they’ve released 8 albums and are working on another one. I adore this band

I love fishing for fishies, my favorite gizz album for some reason even though there are way more interesting albums to choose from. I just like the blues/country style I guess

Quality video!

I smashed that sub and crushed that like bro keep making videos plz

amazing video!!! subscribed :) hope to see more from you!

A great watch you're good at making videos!

Looking forward to more Gizz vids!

Great piece of work highlighting the Gizz's strong suit - I totally agree with your point about Gumboot Soup (best album of '17 and was my favourite until KG and LW came out LOL)

We need a King G disco record!

How come you have less than 100 subs? Amazing material, keep them coming!

Nice work 👌🏼

epic video man

There are a few of their albums that I consider to be masterpieces starting from least to best masterpiece. Sketches of Brunswick East is one of the most surpringly good KG albums to date since it's a jazz album with very clean production but it is amazing. Polygondwanaland is one of their best prog rock albums with just some of their highest peaks and some moments remind me of Sing To God era Cardiacs. I'm In Your Mind Fuzz is pure KG and it's amazing. This was the album KG needed to get their signature sound. Nonagon Infinity is one of the best Psych/Prog albums of all time and it's absolutely brillian but it's not my favorite. I think *Murder Of The Universe* is the most EPIC, and EXCELLENT album they have done yet. Three epic tracks with spoken word and prog rock like sequences is what they did here and it is incredible. My 3 favorite KG albums are also the GIZZVERSE albums or the ones with the castle in the middle. This is my ranking of their albums completely 1.Murder Of The Universe: 10/10 2.Nonagon Infinity: 10/10 3.I'm In Your Mind Fuzz: 9,5/10 4.Polygondwanaland: 9,25/10 5.Sketches Of Brunswick East: 9/10 6.Butterfly 3000: 8,9/10 7.Quarters: 8,75/10 8.Gumboot Soup: 8,5/10 9.Paper Mâche Dream Balloon 8,4/10 10.Flying Microtonal Banana: 8,25/10 11.Float Along - Fill Your Lungs: 8/10 12.Fishing For Fishies: 7,8/10 13.K.G.: 7,75/10 14.Oddments: 7,5/10 15.12 Bar Bruise: 7,5/10 16.Infest The Rats' Nest: 7,25/10 17.Eyes Like 1The Sky: 7/10 18.LW: 6,75/10

great video

Great vid! Personally I think my fave is Nonagon Infinity right now I just love that recurring.. nonagon infinity open the door

Wildly inventive and unconventional, this band breaks boundaries and constantly tries new ways to improvise. I have my individual favorites but taken as a whole, their projects are always entertaining. They are also a fantastic band to see live.

Epic

I don't like most of their albums to be honest even after a while but Plygondwanaland is probably one of the best musical records I have heard.

5:30 I need the link to this interview!
