yeah, that was the first thing i've noticed when i bumped at their music. i remember i thought "man, they must be insane!". and indeed, they never dissapointed me in this, or any other regard for that matter.
They are still being held against their will. Although Eric has been granted his Kick Drum privileges back for good behaviour, so its not all doom and gloom.
haha When I discovered KG I was tempted to buy a 12-strings acoustic guitar and here I am now, playing some of their masterpieces! Come to my channel to watch some covers of them :D cheers
9:45 Joey starts giving energy to Stu Stu turns away just as he says "im completely satisfied" Stu then redirects the energy back into the band Absolutely genius
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0rXwufFoJYw.html check out this fandmade movie. Murder Of The Nonagon Fuzz. It takes a journey through all there albums and connects songs together to a whole new experience.
I agree... it's dense and not easy to digest (just as Tales of topographic oceans from Yes was like in 1973) PLUS it goes a hundred miles an hour, still it is congruent in it's whole "chaos-madness-bestiality-postdigital-horror" aesthetic, which renders this record a masterpiece indeed. In it's own frankenstein on cocaine way.
At first i thought it was brilliant, then I kind of stopped listening to it. It is one of my least favorite of the year (a funny sentence.). However, with time, I find it to be fucking solid. definitely above average dark rock.
Michael Hand yeah, for a while I only listened to the Balrog vs lord of lighting and I would take the record off. But as time has passed, I've given the other chapters a try and they're nothing short of genius. Such an amazing story and the dialogue between the man and the altered beast is amazing. The soliloquy by han-tyumi is amazing as well.
I love how the rhythm carries through the drums and bass and guitars simultaneously but independently at the same time, so that whenever the drummers need a break the rest of the band picks up and back and forth. Truly an Altered Beast
Adapted I know but I think that's why it was so great, it fits in better now with the whole 5 albums, this music is theatrically epic, also gives people a nice recording without the narration that people didn't like
An old good friend of mine, who's also a very good musician in his own right, listened to this show and said they were crap. I laughed and told him to pay closer attention. But he did admit Sketches is a great album.
these guys do a crazy amount of stuff in 7/4 and 7/8. See also Crumbling Castle, KGLW, Robot Stop and Murder of the Universe. I wouldn't be surprised if they can all keep time with this forever with so much practice
Right?! I didn't care too much MOTU when it first came out, but now I can't stop listening to it and Sketches. Definitely my favorite King Gizzard albums at the moment.
@@evanmurphy6640 The local shows near me are all in basements, maybe 400 square ft. for people to thrash about - no one's shy of getting involved. This show is an anomaly, must be before these goons in the audience had their coffee.
@@daniels7036 it is too formal for kgatlw that's my point exactly. It should be a dark room with cool effects and shit that people can really loose their mind in.
@@Heute_vor...Jahren I'd say either a 5/8 bar followed by a 6/8 bar, then repeated, or 11/8. Or could also be heard as three 3/8 bars and a 2/8 bar. For the drums I'm a bit lost, it sounds like 11/8 too, personally I hear "one two three four five sixone" where the "and" of the six is skipped, which is the feel of 11/8 for me. Anyone more knowledgeable than me feel free to drop a correction if wrong ! Edit : after playing along for a bit I think this is definitely 11/8 on both parts. The guitar bar starts with a feel of "3+3+3+2" and after a certain number of cycles the drums and bass come in playing the part with the shortened 6th time. If you listen closely, they start playing exactly after the guitars complete a cycle, so right after the short time (2 in my feel explanation). Lol this is unbearably badly written but sorry I have no clue how to explain it better
@@TheTourtopoulais I agree. In the beginning it sounds a bit weird, but when the part "I don't feel heinous..." comes I also hear the 11/8 time (one two three four five and)
@@Heute_vor...Jahren Ah this is interesting because for me, the "I don't feel heinous" part is a mystery, I can't count properly and fall on the downbeat, while the previous parts are very easy to my ear. Fascinating !
I know right? most of the people who I have heard say that are guys who listen to just 1 fucking band all the time, basically is people who doesn't love music because they don't take the time to look for new stuff
