2022's Changes.


Glad I'm not the only one to recognize this album's brilliance
I gave Changes the same rating as you did. It just doesn't come across as clearly because I like so many more KG&LW albums a little more than you do. Btw: It's actually the fifth highest rated album of theirs on PA.

Actually, now it's upgraded to the exclusive club of 4.5 stars-albums.
Changes, I mean.

The title track is one of my absolute favorite of theirs.

It really is a good and, surprisingly, underappreciated album.

It sounds like something they would have released in 2017, during their, what I consider to be, their peak, even though it was released last year, which I think was really otherise just a big letdown from them. I'm not personally a fan of the new jammier direction they're heading, but this album is great!

That album was apparentely started in 2017, so that would make sense.

I wasn't that psyched either when they announced they were entering a "jammy" era, but considering I really like Float Along and Quarters, maybe that's kind of unfounded. I haven't heard any of their 2022 releases in full yet though.

^ I like band that can improvise and do it well (like Can), but I'm certainly not the biggest fan of jamming or jambands either. It's probably fun to play that way, but as a listener the end result often bores me. But King Gizzard usually pulls it off imo. They are creative and capable enough to not end up as a directionless and lazy jamrock band when they let themselves go. For me one of KG&LW's best qualities is their organic, playful feel, even when it's tightly composed. Playing and recording as much as they do probably has its advantages. They get very good at what they do. Good instincts.

I will have to check this band out. I have heard absolutely nothing by them.

I think the band name is awful though! (sorry to any fans of the band). Smile

Haha it's a silly band name but sort of works (for me) and somehow fit the music rather well. They were just a bunch of teenage freaks:

The band's name was created "last minute"; Mackenzie wanted to name the band "Gizzard Gizzard" while another band member wanted Jim Morrison's nickname "Lizard King". They eventually compromised with King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard.

Anyway, you could do worse than starting with: Polygondwanaland, Changes & Nonagon Infinity. If none of those work for you at all, I guess they may not be for you.
