Infest The Rats' Nest (Album Reaction)

Album number 8 of my #Gizz journey and ‪@KingGizzardAndTheLizardWizard‬ did not disappoint. This immediately went to S tier album status.

8:48 just an FYI, Spotify has really shoddy lyrics for a lot of Gizzard songs. Planet B's last 2 lines are actually "Sinners are grinners, ear to ear / Baby Jesus sheds a tear".

[@andrewrigney5888]

Walter idk if you noticed it but I love that menacing harmonica dive bomb Ambrose during the verses of “Mars For The Rich”! I didn’t notice it the first few listens, gotta love all the layers they have in their songs

[@RitzPlays]

The ending to Hell and the baseline in Mars for the RIch is what got me into heavy gizz. Still a Fishing for Fishies stan (gimme more harmonica) but this album is a real goshdanged treat!

[@JWL1092]

we need a KG & LW full reaction. Seriously under rated albums. Some of the songs from them are top Gizz songs

[@WCSkills]

Agree, very strong songs in the microtonal realm.

[@seanm241]

imagine how good those albums would've been without the pandemic and separation of the band members

[@taida8511]

I just had this stupid though and I'm sorry to announce that in my head you'll be 'Walterwooski' now.

Regarding what you said at the end about other genre bending artists, ‘Oh Sees’ might be the next best thing in that regard. They cover garage, punk, psych, prog, pop, thrash over the course of 27 studio albums with the most recent coming out last Friday. There was a time where if someone called king gizzard an oh sees clone they wouldn’t be entirely wrong. Oh sees were formed in the 90s and some tracks off of 12 bar bruise are heavily oh sees inspired. The connections go further when oh sees distributed two king gizzard albums (quarters and mind fuzz) on their record label castle face. Gizz distributed the oh sees album ‘mutilator defeated at last’ on flightless. I can tell you’re gizzing out hard right now but I always find the oh sees rabbit hole and king gizzard rabbit hole are dug side by side. Maybe you can dive into them after!

Saw you had Nonagon as an S, immediately knew I'd like the video. Then you came in hot with the Megadeth comparison, which I've made to people so many times, and instantly subbed.

[@WCSkills]

Anyone else start to think to yourself, when Red Mars For The Rich started that Walterooski's face is gonna melt over the bass solo?

Superbug predicted Covid

[@SmoofDizzle]

OOOH nice, this is such a great album! Thank you for taking the time to react to these and pump out such good content :D

[@jacobjallen2620]

Great video man

[@melanieshablowski6668]

don’t know if someone already said this but superbug is a term for a bacterial disease that builds up resistance to antibiotics

[@andrewrigney5888]

Also if you wanna check out another genre-blending/bending band that’s on the same level as King Gizzard look into Mr. Bungle! They started out as a thrashy sort of metal band then went to a ska kind of sound then blended jazz, hard rock, funk, doo wop and a few other genres together in one way or another

[@zacharywilson2399]

This album is totally about climate change.

[@bitterbum1]

Yes. Not only that though. Mostly about general self-destruction, the worst of that being human-accelerated climate change, at the hands of the rich who have the arrogant mentality that they are removed enough to be safe.

[@zacharywilson2399]

​@@bitterbum1yes, excellent point.

[@kenvyn123]

When you say about artists that genre bend ween have to be at the top of my list. They aren’t putting out new music but every track on their albums is a different style and so much fun. Highly recommended!!

[@OneKingX]

It's a damn good album, like holy shit.

[@rjart4]

Rattlesnake is one of my absolute favourites, from Microtonal Banana

[@DeterPinklage]

Great stuff man. Its insane how this band can make such an incredible thrash metal album out of no where

[@mrme8162]

woo!

[@matiassanz3694]

king gizzard predicted covid

[@spaceshuttlesnailshell]

Please do Rattlesnake from Red Rocks 2022. Same energy from The (evil) River translated to Rattlesnake. Part of my personal top 5 live ever. Please please

[@dragon13304]

Are you still doing gizz reactions?

[@walterooski]

I’m on a current hiatus from recording content (outside of documenting my sobriety journey). I will be returning after things in life cool off. Between my grandmother in hospice, moving, and adjusting to sobriety, I’m sitting a few rounds out. I intend to finish all of my album reviews and bring Gizzdays back, but I have to focus on real life right now.

[@dragon13304]

@@walterooski all the best mate ❤️

[@williamg3085]

Hi mate, loving the content. By any chance have you heard of Tim Minchin? Talent is up there with Ren in his own kind of way. Would love to see what you think of "dark side awesome version". He can sing, play instruments, act and is a now famous playwright. Amazing man. Keep up the good work 🤙

[@walterooski]

Thank you so much! I am so honored! I’ve done one Tim Minchin song before but I’ll absolutely check that one out next when I return from my brief hiatus. Prejudice by Tim Minchin (A Blind Reaction) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYXMi6ewnd6Gqs0

[@williamg3085]

@walterooski awesome, yeah prejudice gets hammered on reactions for the "shock value" but darkside is alot more clever musically.
