Personal Thoughts

I've been meaning to check these guys out for years and I'm glad I finally did. This was a really good listen, I'm excited to check out more of the band's work. My favorite track was Loyalty.

Man I love this album so much. I listened to it first in mid-late 2018 and it really sent me down a rabbit hole. Since then, King Gizzard has very much become my undisputed favorite band. Polygondwanaland is still perhaps my favorite album, I go out of my way to make listens extremely special so I don't wear it out for myself.

I think a more recent album that is closest to Polygondwanaland in concept is last year's Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, and Lava where each song is supposed to use a different Greek musical mode.
