I've only listened to a little bit of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and am very much looking forward to more!

Song Notes

  • “Planet B” - Fast paced and heavy. I always appreciate a gallop in the rhythm.
  • “Mars for the Rich” - Oh, I’m liking this a lot already. The intro is very strong. Some good blues-y chords and sounds in the chorus. Already a top contender.
  • “Organ Farmer” - THRASH.
  • “Superbug” - Fun pentatonoic riffs.
  • “Venusian 1” - Back to THRASH.
  • “Perihelion” - There’s some really cool bass harmony going on here!
  • “Hell” - It’s all been good solid thrash!

General Thoughts

  • I don’t think I’d have appreciated this as much in highschool, but I still probably would have liked it. Especially if it were in Guitar Hero.
  • This is sounding like a heavier Iron Maiden.
  • The way this album dips into the slower, fuzzier blues-y sounds really hits me right.
  • All the subgenre swings they take are really well executed.
