eh, i found myself only liking around 4 tracks on the entire album, it just felt a bit cheap even for the band, but this was something they worked on during COVID so its totally understandable. on the plus side, they made up for it by releasing music videos for every single track and released the 3001 Remix album that was quite good as well.
Yeah I'd say it's one of his worst takes (besides calling Universe's narration an "oversight"). B3000 is melodic, catchy, groovy and psych brilliance that flows seamlessly. As a whole and has singles. Pity he doesn't get it 🤷
fantano's opinions of king gizzard albums have always been extremely silly to me. he seems to just really like nonagon infinity and anything that deviates from that sound he just doesn't care about. poly getting a 7 is criminal, and sketches being a FIVE is just crazy. he also hated The Dripping Tap, which i don't even know how to address
Polygondwanaland is a great record, but I can understand the sentiment behind it, it's both very technical yet very same-y given most of the songs' reliance on the open B string.
Honestly firmly believe that MotU would have probably been at the top of this list were it not for the narration. Feels like everything he loved about Nonagon Infinity was present there but, pushed even further and it was only let down for him by that aspect. It's a shame, cause it definitely is my fav album now. Narration took some time to grow on me, but The Tale of the Altered Beast I think is the band at their peak, at least as far as the pre-jam era goes.
@@maxd.9311 For me it's almost as good as nonagon (which is the quintessential gizz album imo). I feel like the narrations are necessary as breaks from such constant energy, and in the first third they almost feel like breaks in-between rounds of madness. High 8 for me. edut: i do find the segway tracks, specially the samey sounding alter me's do stretch it a bit too much though
Thank you for saying exactly what i think and letting me know there are some people out there who appreciate this album as much as me. I love how MotU is like a crazy/wacky story sang to us and we can just listen and enjoy the exhilarating ride
You gotta respect the consistency in their discography even if some experiments don’t pan out as much as others. You can tell the band is always having fun and that goes a long way towards keeping the music interesting and engaging.
King Gizzard: "So we experimented a bit on this new record, basically pushed ourselves outside of our co......." Fantano: decent to strong 7 don't need to hear it
@@saintsea-hat7891 people forget hes a critic and always going to be super harsh with the scores. 7 from fantano is more like an 8 from most people. which is pretty fucking good
Fantano to me is in this weird place where I wholeheartedly disagree with just about every opinion he expresses and think his reasoning is always extremely flimsy, and yet I'm always curious to hear what he has to say because he just seems like such a chill guy with a genuine passion for music.
This band could make an all time great album if they took like 2 years without releasing. They make a lot of good shit every few months and I could only imagine how great an album that took their best stuff over the span of 2 years would be
From what I can gather on their song writing process, that will never happen, Stew said that he would never sit down and try to make "the biggest and greatest" album because the pressure would make him quit on it, it seems like it's easier for them to just spontaneously engage in a new idea and then just move to the next one
I usually find his takes on Gizz to be at least a little frustrating but hearing them all in a row is infuriating. And Butterfly 3000 being below Sketches is just such a hilarious take.
Once you hear some of these songs in person, you want to buy every album😂. Love how they go all out for vinyl pressings and I hope that’s how Fantano listened to these for review with an audiophile setup
my opinion on king gizzard albums: 12 Bar Bruise: 7/10 Eyes Like the Sky: 5/10 Float Along-Fill Your Lungs: 8/10 Oddments: 7/10 I'm in Your Mind Fuzz: 9/10 Quarters!: 7/10 Paper Mache Dream: 8/10 Nonagon Infinity: 9/10 Flying Microtonal Banana: 8/10 Murder of the Universe: 8/10 Sketches of Brunswick East: 7/10 Polygondwanaland: 9/10 Gumboot Soup: 7/10 Fishing for Fishies: 7/10 Infest the Rats' Nest: 8/10 K.G.: 7/10 L.W.: 7/10 Butterfly 3000: 7/10 Made in Timeland: 6/10 Omnium Gatherum: 8/10 Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, and Lava: 8/10 Laminated Denim: 7/10 Changes: 8/10 PetroDragonic Apocalypse: 9/10
Of course Nonagon Infinity is the top. I don't think many people would disagree with that. I was surprised Float Along and Fill Your Lungs didn't appear in the video at all. It is my personal second favourite and I think it's one of their most palatable records, one that would please those who aren't too much into experimentation.
I don't think Gizz was on his radar and/or he wasn't very popular when that album came out, and I imagine he doesn't feel the need to go back and review it now
Leaving out float along and mind fuzz is a crime for sure. Most crowd pleasing albums next to nonagon. You never know what they will play live, but always hope for head on/pill 😂😂
I am in awe that he gave Butterfly 3k and Sketches the same rating. I mean no hate to Butterfly 3k fans but Sketches is such a good album in comparison, I'd give it a 7
Bro just likes the harder stuff gizz makes, i dont think he fully evaluated some of these albums by themselves as i think he should have (minus KG and LW for obv reasons)
i'm sad he picks the most cliché as his favorite albums, but its not to say that he's wrong or the albums he picks are bad in any way, i think its funny that the Discography is so vast that any album can be top dog in some perspective even if its not the goal of the album! long live the gizzard!!!!
I think everyone in the comment section is whining a bit too much, it's always a win for a band or artist to not ever get something lower than a 5 and you're just wasting it
I think people don’t realise that a 7 is a high fantano score. He isn’t IGN, it’s not the base ‘I don’t care about this’ score. If you look at most of the albums he gives a 7 to, the reviews usually say it’s a very solid record with a few shortcomings. The fact that gizzard consistently gets 7s is really impressive. Although Poly’s 7 is the only 7 I don’t agree with, that’s a light 9 just cause of crumbling castle.

imo the only hard disagree from me is 7 for polygondwanaland. its my favorite album, even outside of kglw's discography.

I give this ranking list a light 5.
The lightest of light 5's 😅
I’d give it a fey to wispy 4
this is my 9/11
Flying Microtonal Banana is my favorite out of the bunch. That record has bangers from start to finish
His rankings on KGLW (and pretty much everything) just further prove that music is subjective, which is awesome in the end.
he’s wrong for his rating of sketches, i’m sorry, what..
It for sure deserved more love. I just don’t think he likes the lounge esque indie pop sound (kind of like homeshake, mild high club, etc)
Dude doesn’t even have any good taste in music
He has quarters on vinyl so maybe if he reviewed it it would be in the top 5 of his faves
L.W mad underrated to me
Definitely. I revisited it recently after initially dismissing it, and every single song has something different to offer.
The first half is of that album is some of Gizzys best opening half out of all of there albums.😊
The butterfly 3k review triggers me so hard
wow when you put the reviews back to back you can really see when he got a new camera
Hit me with the Butterfly slander right off the bat why don't you :(
Butterfly is by far the weirdest in they’re discography which why I like it
It’s a shame Melon didn’t like MOTU, it’s one of their best works. Also didn’t Melon say it potential to be a 10/10
They’re best in my opinion is between Paper mache Dream Balloon & That one jazz album
Fantano to me is in this weird place where I wholeheartedly disagree with just about every opinion he expresses and think his reasoning is always extremely flimsy, and yet I'm always curious to hear what he has to say because he just seems like such a chill guy with a genuine passion for music.

There have been albums that took them quite a while to finish before ever releasing, iirc Changes is that way?

Now bump every album up +2

nope

NEW BEST GIZZ ALBUM RATING DROPPED
After hearing Dragon I highly suspect this next album will be one of Fantanos favorites. The song is so fucking good
you were right
Dude Sketches of Brunswick is like my top
i feel like he has strong opinions on if not now them when that I'm not ready to hear
You know what Anthony Fantano, I give you a decent to strong 7.
king gizz are the denzel curry’s of the decent to strong 7
Changes over polygon is bizarre
Sketches is my favorite gizz album
It’s mine as well but changes might come in second
Laminated Denim beating that many albums is criminal
I am in awe that he gave Butterfly 3k and Sketches the same rating. I mean no hate to Butterfly 3k fans but Sketches is such a good album in comparison, I'd give it a 7
How does he give Sketches a strong 5?
Why are there so many decent 7s 😭
What is the flaw he is talking about at Murder of the Universe
too much spoken word
spoken word passages
W8 IS THAT DANIEL HOWELL
I agree with all of this except Polygon and Murder of the Universe need to be wayyyy higher. Definitely up at the top with Nonagon and Infest.
Bruh you got me so fucked up
if "im in yourd mind" were on the ratings it would be the 10/10
No 7/10
For me giving Omnium Gatherum a 6 is criminal. One of the best albums def
My favourite Gizz albums are Butterfly 3000, Polygondwanaland and Murder of the Universe :)
The disrespect on Butterfly 3000 and Sketches of Brunswick East is insane tho wtf
If Murder came out today he'd give it a Strong 8 to Light 9
King Gizzard and The 7 Wizard
A 5 for butterfly 3000 is absolutely insane wtf
