King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - L.W.

Even More Microtones!

Sure, K.G. (6.5) was kind of a dozey, but if your listening to this record right after its predecessor, you’ll notice the two albums actual connect. The strangely enthralling closer for the previous record leads perfectly into the opener, “If Not Now Then When”, which perfectly sets the tone for the rest of the record.
If you were bored of the previous outing because of its inability to spark interest from microtones, than this album may actually be more ... read more

More microtones!

Yesterday, I listened to the infamous “Flying Microtonal Banaa” (7.8/10), in which I praised it’s creativity, but noted it didn't take too many risks with its tagline microtonal instruments. It’s a common favorite amongst King Gizzard fans, and while my score didnt defer much from the general majority, I was a little unimpressed. But hey, it was only the first installment in King Gizzard’s soon to be trilogy of explorations into microtonal ... read more

My dad’s least favorite King Gizzard record (He HATES snakes)

Quick little update on the Gizz journey; I am probably not going to finish EVERY King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard record this month. I should’ve made that more clear in my Butterfly 3000 review, but yea, I’ll get to about 10 records this month, maybe more if I have the time. For now, 10 seems like a reasonable number, right?

Anyways, microtones! I’ve always looked down at my MIDI keyboard I’ve had ... read more

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Fishing for Fishies

Prodigal, fuck that nautical. Teaching fishies how to swim 🐠😎

I found myself in the mystical land of Florida. I was visiting my Mom’s parents and while everyone left their little camp, my dad asked if I wanted to go to a few record stores. While the first two of them were amazing, I didn’t find anything I couldn’t get at home for cheaper. That was until I came across D And J Records. I found 5 albums that I’ve never seen pressed on vinyl before, a catalog spanning ... read more

IMPORTANT REVIEW; PLEASE READ

Let's talk politics, a surprisingly potent subject for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. In the next month, I will be participating in “Resist and Unsubscribe”, and I suggest you do as well. TLDR, this is a mass boycott of companies that lobby and donate to ICE, the currently-dysfunctional government, and the richest companies in the world that fuck our planet over. As a result, I will not be using anything from Apple, and instead be binging ... read more

Renatto Olivares - Aguas Raras
86

Me when the Friday is foreign-

Fuck it, let’s knock out two birds with one stone. I was scrolling through the current 2026 charts on AOTY, admittedly apathetic towards the highest rated albums so far. I’m positive they’re great, but I wasn’t interested in listening to DON’T BE DUMB since I have actually never listened to an A$AP Rocky album before (I’ll do a dive by the end of the year though), nor did I find as much interest in other records as I did in ... read more

Valve Studio Orchestra - Fight Songs: The Music of Team Fortress 2
93

Team Fortress 2 is easily one of my favorite games of all time. It’s a top 5 game of all time for me, and it’s always a game I can rely on for quick fun. I can’t stress how much this game means to me, as it introduced me to some of my best friends, supplied me with endless amounts of content for longer than I’ve actually been playing the game, and it is (in my opinion), the best shooter game of all time. In fact, I recently started picking this game up again after I ... read more

Swans - Swans

ON THE SIDE WALK 🔥🔥

Out of all the amazing bands named after birds, Swans just might be my favorite. I’m certain those of you who know a couple things about this band know how multilayered this band is, both in sound and in history. Sound-wise, the band emerged from the NY No Wave scene with a common sound of Industrial and Noise rock across all their first few records. After keyboardist Jarboe joined, the sound drastically changed to incorporate melody and structure into the ... read more

The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - Vol. 3: A Child's Guide to Good & Evil

An LP at a reasonable price? How astounding!

One chilly October morning, I found myself in Boston with 20 bucks in my wallet. I was on Newbury Street, about to enter the original Newbury Comics store. Newbury Comics is pretty infamous for having stupid prices for their vinyl, like System of a Down’s 1LP “Toxicity” for $45. To my surprise, there was a record that I saw that cost less than 20 bucks, in fact, it barely cost me 5.
The cover was a monotone man with a ginormous ... read more

There are two things in life that you can’t avoid; Megadeth… and Taxes

Not even a month in, and 2026 is turning out to be a legendary year for music. I’m the first quarter alone, we have albums coming out from Denzel Curry, Gorillaz. Charli XCX, Mitski, and maybe even Kanye. But nothing quite tells me this year will be historical, like the closing album for a historical band.

I’ve listened to a few Megadeth records in my time, but I’ve mostly been a Metallica ... read more

Cibe - Art Noise

Foreign Friday? On a Saturday?

A couple months ago, I snagged a look at the incredible Noise project “Origin of My Depression” (9) by Uboa. It’s an uncomfortable listen that was made after the artist attempted to kill herself. In my opinion, it does a great job at audibly depicting depression, suicidal ideation, regret, grief, and a bunch of really serious topics. It’s a masterpiece, and I’d go listen to it if you haven’t yet. Just know that it is a really ... read more

It’s hard not to start a King Gizzard review by mocking Stu Mackenzie, but since today’s a special day, who really cares…

WOO!!!!

Hi guys, guess who’s back from midterm seasons. That’s right, it’s me!! I’m super happy to be back, in fact, I’ve got some cool reviews coming out in the next week, including one I just posted yesterday for Pure Comedy (please check that one out, I’m super hyped about how that turned out). Anyways, here’s ... read more

Father John Misty - Pure Comedy

The full scope of modern life, sculpted by sarcasm

Chamber albums have the capacity to be some of the best music you will ever hear in your life. It’s a blank slate, so any artist can it what they want with it, Will Wood could redefine his legacy by organizing an ensemble to assist him in his amazing singer-songwriter album; In Case I Make It, Black Country New Road can make create some soul crushing music with precisely placed musical choices, and Taylor Swift can make a disappointment. ... read more

For a while, I thought it was "Widowlicker" and now my heart is MUCH more at ease.

Hey everyone, we're doings something short and (apperently) sweat tonight, Aphex Twin's famous EP; Windowlicker. Now, I've marched around Richard's discography, and I scheme on listening to SAWV2 (After all, Volume 1 was such an amazing experience), but this will be a fun experience in meantime.

As sad as it is to say, one of the funniest things to me as a ... read more

Time to ask the age old question, do AOTY users hate fun? Or is the album just fucking shit. (Trust me, I came to a really interesting conclusion so bear with me)

“I’ve been on that bbno$ hate train since he made that song that was about getting a little bit topped”. That was an actual sentence I said yesterday, fully believing it to be true. The song in question was “Lalala”, a track that I believe was the first bbno$ song to blow up from TikTok. A few years ... read more

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Live at Levitation '14
71

What you're saying is that... YOU are in MY mind?

As mentioned in my Polygondwanaland (9) review, I bought a heap of shit from Needlejuice Records back in November, including a 3LP live album from King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard for only 20$. It was an official bootleg compilation of their performances at Texas’ LEVITATION performances in 2014 and 2016. I thought it’d be a fun idea to review my thoughts on one of the earlier KGLW performances while I have the ... read more

Fishmans - LONG SEASON
82

No, no. It's been a long YEAR

Welcome to Foreign Friday, my new series where I review an album from a different country, specifically one that doesn’t speak my native language, English. I get that calling it “Foreign” allows a loophole that allows me to listen to any non-American English record, but who cares, I make the rules, and I'm going to TRY to not fall into the loophole, nor skip any weeks this year.
"But why are you doing this?", You may ask. ... read more

Here’s to a better year, for everyone!

Hey guys, a small rant incoming. Uhhhh fuck 2025. Last year sucked, it was the worst year of my entire life. I was going through 7 different side plots at the same time, and I don’t even know if there was a “on the bright side” because to be honest, I was worse than miserable. But instead of droning on about last year, I’m going to take everything I learned and use it to have the best year every, happy 2026!

Anyways, I ... read more

Will Wood - Slouching Towards Branson (Audio Version)

A LIAR’S PANTS MUST BURN

Will Wood is… back? I never thought I’d live to see the day that one of my favorite artists of all time released another batch of songs, let alone an entire album, AND MULTIPLE TOURS, if it wasn’t for the complete 180 my life turned into 12 months ago, this would’ve been the best year of my life!

Speaking of; this is my last review of 2025. In these last 7 days, I think I deserve a brainless break before I go back to school, music, and ... read more

Geese - Getting Killed
87

Never putting hb on aux again, talk bout sum “there’s a bomb in my car” 🤣🤯💣😭🔥

It was really weird seeing Geese blow up out of nowhere, because it’s something I’ve never seen before in my entire life. For reference, I listened to their more popular stuff from 3D Country, but never really dug that entire album. Still, I liked Geese, I liked Cameron Winter, and I was happy to see this website praise yet another great band, even if they weren’t ... read more
