Every King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard Album Ranked

[@avelhabolachuda]

Should have included Teenage Gizz too, but nice video, even if many choices obliterate my heart

[@A_Falling_Cow]

hahhahah I figured my rankings would crush many hearts. They really are so hard to rank, since every single album is so damn good. Who would you put at 1?

[@avelhabolachuda]

@@A_Falling_Cow not even sure, to be honest. I think your top choices were pretty solid, but imo Made In Timeland and Laminated Denim should be higher

[@A_Falling_Cow]

@@avelhabolachudahonestly I just couldn’t get into either of them which is a major bummer.

[@avelhabolachuda]

@@A_Falling_Cow Made in Timeland took me a while, I recommend listening to it as background music while doing something that requires attention, it's pretty chill

[@supmyman7]

Always interesting seeing people's rankings and what they gravitate to for Gizzard. My personal top 5 (at the moment) are Changes, Infest the Rats Nest, PetroDragonic, Sketches of Brunswick East and Ice Death.

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Wow I’m surprised to see Changes and Sketch’s so high! But honestly all of their albums are top tier and everyone has a different opinion on their music :)

[@ByteMe619]

hey did you know that the narrator for Eyes Like the Sky is Ambrose’s dad? Broderick Smith was in the Australian boogie band Carson and gave songwriting advice to King Gizzard when they were starting out

[@A_Falling_Cow]

I didn’t know he helped song write, that’s so cool!

[@andyapple7474]

Really enjoyed this video. I only discovered KGLW earlier this year after a friend recommended I listen to them when I go to the gym, and I’ve been fascinated (or obsessed?) with them ever since, just by their range of styles and how prolific they are. Also, as they’re from my hometown (Melbourne Australia), I also feel a certain amount of pride that someone overseas is taking such an interest in their music.

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Yea I’m obsessed with them too partially why I made the video hahaha

[@andyapple7474]

@@A_Falling_Cow I saw on their tour schedule they’re playing a lot of North American shows this year. Will you have a chance to see them live? I only discovered them earlier this year, so haven’t been to a concert yet because they’ve been playing overseas, but can’t wait to see them one day. The weird thing is, I’m 53 years old and haven’t been to a concert in over 20 years, but this band makes me feel like a teenage fan again! BTW, I’ve watched a few other album ranking videos on KZbin, but your list is the one I most agree with.

[@A_Falling_Cow]

@@andyapple7474 yea I’m seeing them in November! Are you seeing them when they come to tour?

[@andyapple7474]

@@A_Falling_Cow I live in Melbourne Australia, and unfortunately they don’t have any local concerts scheduled this year

[@lancearmada]

7:30 to be honest I was more surprised by the 12 bar bruise at bottom but everyone has their tastes.

[@A_Falling_Cow]

What would you put at the bottom?

[@lancearmada]

@@A_Falling_Cow the silver cord or float along.

[@Theia22b]

I love the B3K pick and TSC pick! I would mostly agree with this list, besides a few you have shocking low (FMB, Quarters, Oddments) but overall pretty good.

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Thanks! B3K really is one of my favorites it’s so lighthearted and relaxing. FMB is pretty damn good I just think the other albums in front of it were better :/ as for Quarters and Oddments I just couldn’t get into either of em as much as the others ahead of them unfortunately

[@arex9556]

Surprised with how much I agreed with you during this ranking 😂

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Thanks! Was def a struggle picking the top 3 !

[@dereklasker5350]

Solid list, interested to hear your thoughts on the tracks off Flight b741 if you’ve heard the live versions of those so far

[@A_Falling_Cow]

I’ll be listening to the new single as soon as it drops! Probably will make a reaction video, so you’ll be able to see what I think of it hahaha

[@Jerrytale]

Dope man thanks, very enjoyful! The River best song for me

[@A_Falling_Cow]

The river is just to good of a song! The jazziness is killer

[@juanvasquezaldana8825]

Nice video, sadly im not that involved in king gizzard to watch it all so I just watched your top 5

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@ericmilman5812]

It's so interesting being a fan of King Gizz because even though I might share a favorite band with someone, our tastes can still be completely different. Here are my rankings by category; too many are interchangeable in their categories for me to do a straight list. (Also, I still haven't sat down and listened to all of Eyes Like the Sky. Lastly, I would put Le Risque in the Good category, but we'll see how the whole new album shapes up.) Favorites -Oddments (As a fan of lo-fi indie, this was the album that convinced me I had a new favorite band. I also adore the album cover.) -Petro -Polygondwanaland -Infest the Rat's Nest -I'm in your Mind Fuzz -K.G./L.W. Greats -Nonagon Infinity -Quarters! (It's grown on me, though track 2 is tedious. I actually like the last two songs more than The River now.) -Float Along, Fill Your Lungs -Flying Microtonal Banana -Changes (One of their most cohesive and on-point albums. I ironically don't like Change that much, though.) -Paper Mache Dream Balloon -Butterfly 3000 -Ice Death Goods -Laminated Denim (Both songs are great, I just need more than two tracks to compete with the others) -Murder of the Universe -Fishing for Fishies -Willoughby's Beach -12 Bar Bruise Meh -The Silver Cord (Theia and The Silver Cord are great, but the rest is forgettable for me. Ironically some of the most poetic lyrics the band has produced, though.) -Sketches of Brunswick East (I don't like Stu's chill vocal fry on this album.) -Omnium Gatherum (The more I listen to it, the less I like it, unfortunately.) -Made In Timeland (I've listened to this album several times and I still can't remember what the two songs sound like) Dislike -Gumboot Soup (The only album by King Gizz I actively dislike. Beginner's Luck is okay, but everything past that does nothing for me.)

[@A_Falling_Cow]

I’m loving the list! I would 1000% recommend listening to the extended edition of The Silver Cord it’s insane! Sketches is definitely hit or miss I feel like with a lot of fans

[@ericmilman5812]

@@A_Falling_Cow I probably was a bit too harsh on Sketches here. I would put it more in the good category on second thought. As for the extended cuts of The Silver Cord, I really only liked Theia's longer cut. The extended cuts mostly felt too sparse to me, I don't know. Butterfly 3000 is their superior electronic album in my eyes. But my opinions shift over time, so we'll see.

[@geoffadavis]

I go on long walks all the time and listen to KGLW albums on headphones outside in nature. I usually listen to at least three albums per walk. I base my top ten on albums with the least amount of skippable songs, how they flow and my personal music background and experience. It's always changing but here are my current top ten: 1. Ice Death 2. Butterfly 3K 3. Polygon 4. Sketches 5. LW 6. PDA 7. Nonagon 8. Laminated Denim 9. B471 10. Fishies

[@A_Falling_Cow]

@@geoffadavis good picks I’ve been listening to Changes a lot recently

[@geoffadavis]

@@A_Falling_Cow It's also very good. I just learned that the first letter of every song on the album spells Changes.

[@TheSpiritVideo]

Gaia is on Omnium Gatherum not Gumboat Soup. Infinite Rise is the only dud on Quarters not Lonely Steel Sheet Flyer which is a super smokey chill jam. Appreciate the love for The Silver Cord. It is an amazing album. Solid list though for sure. Nice job

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Thanks apperciate the comment! Which album is #1 on your list?

[@TheSpiritVideo]

Man, it's so hard to say, so many incredible albums, but I'll stick with Nonagon.

[@TheSpiritVideo]

Polygondwanaland is hard to wrap your head around initially. I had the same problem. It's because of the polyrhythms. Takes your brain a while to adjust to them.

[@A_Falling_Cow]

@@TheSpiritVideoyea it took me a hot second to finally get it to click ya know. But it’s an insanely good album I’ve had it on repeat last couple days

“Throw a toaster at their face” hahahhaahahah 40:32

[@jmanjacob8433]

Fun Fact: Made in Timeland was supposed to be filler for their show at Timeland Festival. Covid happened, Timeland cancelled, and they had this music sitting around, so they refined it and released it!

[@andyapple7474]

After their new album is released on August 9, are you going to announce where it fits in your album ranking?

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Of course! I’ll make a video about where’d I place it after it’s released, I’ll probably also do a video just reacting to the songs for the first time too!

[@malikd.7306]

Nice list and by the way the Track „Ice V“ means „Ice Five“ its supposed to be the roman number for „5“ :^>

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Thanks! Good to know!!

[@Nega-Tim]

This video has so much character it should be taught in literature classes. Great vid!

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Thanks!! Appreciate it! Go check out the rest of my vids!

[@gideonpepys]

For me, Pleura makes LG. That's the song that got me into Gizz. (Fishing for Fishies raised my awareness and Interior People pushed me over the edge.)

[@A_Falling_Cow]

I never really gave Pleura much of a chance till I listened to all the albums again before making the video. I really loved how One flowed right into it. Another sleeper on that album is Ataraxia!

[@RADZIO895]

Honestly, I agree with butterfly 3000 being very underrated, maybe not second best but still in my top 5

[@DNice909]

Leave the album covers up throughout the video

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Next time! Thanks for the feedback!

[@RADZIO895]

19:05 Gaia is from omnium gatherum tho

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Yea an error on my part :/ sorry about that! Hope you enjoy the rest of the video!

[@anthonyenriquez6251]

Put me on wizard gizzard 🫶🏼 ur my hero

[@A_Falling_Cow]

No you’re my hero 😘🤮

[@iamdamosuzuki_]

I personally think 12 Bar Bruise is incredibly underrated but I get its a pretty sonically abrasive and unrefined. It’s not for everybody. I’m probably one of the few people that thinks Willoughby's Beach is among their best releases too. Eyes Like The Sky is far and away their weakest album imo. It’s just such a chore to sit through for me.

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Eyes like the sky is tough to get through some of the songs are just not good

[@dawsonsouza8833]

2 weeks later and the video is outdated lol

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Hahahhaha I know! But I’m so excited to listen Flight b741

[@solo7243]

"Ice Five" not "Ice V". Nice ranking though :)

[@A_Falling_Cow]

Thank you :)
