[@sammyjohnson5596]

It can be repetitive but I love it so much. Such a good sound

[@thisbubblygoodness7611]

eh, i found myself only liking around 4 tracks on the entire album, it just felt a bit cheap even for the band, but this was something they worked on during COVID so its totally understandable. on the plus side, they made up for it by releasing music videos for every single track and released the 3001 Remix album that was quite good as well.

[@zigzagwandering]

Yeah I'd say it's one of his worst takes (besides calling Universe's narration an "oversight"). B3000 is melodic, catchy, groovy and psych brilliance that flows seamlessly. As a whole and has singles. Pity he doesn't get it 🤷

[@itmightgetdark]

Me too. One of my favorites from them.

[@Catman_321]

That one's certainly a grower admittedly there are two songs I think aren't super stunning or interesting though

[@timob1681]

fantano's opinions of king gizzard albums have always been extremely silly to me. he seems to just really like nonagon infinity and anything that deviates from that sound he just doesn't care about. poly getting a 7 is criminal, and sketches being a FIVE is just crazy. he also hated The Dripping Tap, which i don't even know how to address

[@Gannoh]

Polygondwanaland is a great record, but I can understand the sentiment behind it, it's both very technical yet very same-y given most of the songs' reliance on the open B string.

Kings of decent to strong 7s

[@KAIJUCHOMPS]

Honestly firmly believe that MotU would have probably been at the top of this list were it not for the narration. Feels like everything he loved about Nonagon Infinity was present there but, pushed even further and it was only let down for him by that aspect. It's a shame, cause it definitely is my fav album now. Narration took some time to grow on me, but The Tale of the Altered Beast I think is the band at their peak, at least as far as the pre-jam era goes.

[@maxd.9311]

the narration fuckin MAKES that album, it’s integral to its artistic identity and i fucking love it for that

[@raineveeraine]

​@@maxd.9311 PEOPLE DON'T LIKE LEAH ON MOTU???? WHAT

[@raineveeraine]

​​@@maxd.9311 For me it's almost as good as nonagon (which is the quintessential gizz album imo). I feel like the narrations are necessary as breaks from such constant energy, and in the first third they almost feel like breaks in-between rounds of madness. High 8 for me. edut: i do find the segway tracks, specially the samey sounding alter me's do stretch it a bit too much though

[@KAIJUCHOMPS]

@@maxd.9311 oh fuckin agreed, i just know that it broke the album for a lot of ppl

[@jpmac1115]

Thank you for saying exactly what i think and letting me know there are some people out there who appreciate this album as much as me. I love how MotU is like a crazy/wacky story sang to us and we can just listen and enjoy the exhilarating ride

[@chan_martin]

You gotta respect the consistency in their discography even if some experiments don’t pan out as much as others. You can tell the band is always having fun and that goes a long way towards keeping the music interesting and engaging.

[@Mr.Marbles]

Yes, you can really hear how they have fun because they always do something different each album. Even the albums i didnt really like i listened all the way through and had fun, because it was still interesting and entertaining 👍🏻

[@christianromano8601]

His rankings on KGLW (and pretty much everything) just further prove that music is subjective, which is awesome in the end.

[@domodata6219]

imo the only hard disagree from me is 7 for polygondwanaland. its my favorite album, even outside of kglw's discography.

Like it was their second I really got into behind Mind Fuzz but even I have to admit a 7 is fair

[@skeptale]

Fantano to me is in this weird place where I wholeheartedly disagree with just about every opinion he expresses and think his reasoning is always extremely flimsy, and yet I'm always curious to hear what he has to say because he just seems like such a chill guy with a genuine passion for music.

[@matmightstir1427]

There have been albums that took them quite a while to finish before ever releasing, iirc Changes is that way?

[@andrei11dr]

From what I can gather on their song writing process, that will never happen, Stew said that he would never sit down and try to make "the biggest and greatest" album because the pressure would make him quit on it, it seems like it's easier for them to just spontaneously engage in a new idea and then just move to the next one

Of course Nonagon Infinity is the top. I don't think many people would disagree with that. I was surprised Float Along and Fill Your Lungs didn't appear in the video at all. It is my personal second favourite and I think it's one of their most palatable records, one that would please those who aren't too much into experimentation.

I think people don’t realise that a 7 is a high fantano score. He isn’t IGN, it’s not the base ‘I don’t care about this’ score. If you look at most of the albums he gives a 7 to, the reviews usually say it’s a very solid record with a few shortcomings. The fact that gizzard consistently gets 7s is really impressive. Although Poly’s 7 is the only 7 I don’t agree with, that’s a light 9 just cause of crumbling castle.
