The first time I listened to this, from the start up until the vocals kick in, I was really feeling it, and when the change and vocals kicked in I was like "Ah fuck they ruined it" and moved on, and that was my only experience of king gizzard for like a month, until I ended up back again for whatever reason. They went into the change and it was like I was hearing it all over again. Having listened hundreds of times since, I've come to feel that The River is one of the most well composed and groundbreaking songs of the 21st century.
