/mu/,
Is King Gizzard a meme band or legitimate band?
If the latter, top 5 songs?
Thanks,
"Little" Stevey
DUDE SICK BAND

it's definitely a meme. Their sound is exactly the same across every single one of their albums, the only thing that differentiates the albums are stupid gimmicks (this one is like a four-part opera! this one uses a micro-tuned guitar in the mix! this one plays continuously!)
Still, listen to an album or two of theirs if you haven't heard them because perhaps their extremely dull BWAAAUUUUUUUOOOOO blowout loud psychedelic, monotone, wall-of-sound rock will be just what you're looking for

name 5 bands YOU like before i know to consider your opinion or not
>>72740767
If you like them, which I guess you do, you should just like them

KING
GIZZARD
And the
LiZARD
WiZARD
King Gizz are hit or miss for me.
The Nonagon trilogy? amazing
Head on/Pill? amazing
Half of Quarters? amazing
everything else is either pretty good (paper mache dream balloon) but not really enough to keep me coming back, or flat out boring.
Theyre both.
There is a blatant memetic quality to them but they are quality musicians.
Its like Australian shitposting
>>72740918
There is no connection between any of their albums
>>72741140
>no connection
>people-vultures cameos in their new album
>so does a "nonagon infinity" chant
great band but slowly becoming a meme on /mu/, soon it will be uncool to like them
god forbid a band has "fun" releasing stuff
I like em
>>72741570
I KNOW, anyone who hates them hates FUN and WEED
garage rock band doing their best to stand out with well thought out gimmicks. Head on/pill was cool but their music is just so samey
fuck off Kenny
I don't know how they generated so much attention, personally. Every album has the same mediocre sound, but people seem to buy into the meme band name and silly gimmick themes, masking the true mediocrity.
Either that or it seems better than it is compared to all other Australian music. Boosted garbage.
i like them a lot. they dont really make anything deep or meaningful, just inventive and fun to listen to
ODDMENTS IS THEIR BEST ALBUM
Post actual good psych

>gimmick
i have never really understond the meaning of this insult on the band, like just because they feature the "muh microtonal elements" or something, im not gona give them more credit for that but for the music itself but just because the band uses the microntonal stuff /mu/ sees it as an opurtunity to bash it.

what /mu/ calls a gimmick for gizzard would be praised as experimental and "going out of their comfort zone" for any other band
Im into good music
Mac DeMarco, King Gizzard, Three Oh Seas, Wavves, Thinking Fellers Union Local 182, Cloud Nothings, the list goes on...
They seem like a less good OH SEES
>>72742760
Gizz > Thee Oh Sees > Ty Segall > Wand
I really wish I could get into their new album
I like it, I really do. I can jam the fuck out to digital black and vomit coffin but the constant narration of the story ruins it for me. It stops me from coming back and enjoying a song I like because I have to listen to three minutes of monologue every time. I got everything I could get out of it the first time, hearing it again does nothing for me
You can have a concept album without needing someone to literally narrate the entire thing, Its much more engaging to piece the story together yourself through the lyrics and the way song sounds, not having someone spell it all out for you

>'not having someone spell it out for you'
>not realizing the whole gimmick is spoken-word, just like their last album was microtones
DUDE that narration is so SICK
>>72740767
legitimately in my top five favorite bands. they're fucking mental
>>72740767
I really liked them at first, got bored with them pretty fast.
>>72743775
Oh wow, I did not notice that there was something specific about this album that separates it from the rest. Gee, thanks for pointing that out for me, kind anon
Fucking retard, of course I understand that's the gimmick of the album. I love that they try new things while still maintaining their original style. But this album simply doesnt work. The gimmick was a dud
Top 5 songs, but after I typed it I didn't agree with it but whatever
>Paper Mache Dream Balloon
>It Got Old
>I'm In Your Mind Fuzz
>Mr Beat
>Hot Wax
