45

So here it is, my final #GizzaLizaWizaJourney ranking of all King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard albums:

42

Oil wells drained of fluids
Underneath stand black gold druids
The dragon turns his gaze above
Releases his breath, a flaming dove
Engines crunch on the ground below
Through its teeth, cleansing lava flows
Gaia set to self-destruct
Flamethrower complacent fucks

Flamethrower

40

Next up in my #GizzaLizaWizaJourney is the best album King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard ever made and I gladly debate this with anyone who disagrees (and is thus wrong).

...I might as well just put the whole album into my Best of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard playlist. What a fucking banger this is.

39 #GizzaLizaWizaJourney

...I say filler and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard release an incredible pop/lounge album next.

Changes was scheduled to be released in 2017 but they didn't think its finished. They did so in 2022.

34 #GizzaLizaWizaJourney

Ok I guess the name of the album was a hint on what to expect. It was basically a collection of songs across all genres King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. Almost like a best of album.

Album 20 out of 27 done, and now I need a break.

32

Made In Timeland is album number 19 overall and the first out of 5 albums released in 2022 on my #GizzaLizaWizaJourney

It is also a techno album. I loved techno when I was 12 years old.

Ok, I think 7 King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard albums are enough for today.

Gumboot Soup is a blast! I just read that it is composed of songs that didn't fit in any of the other four albums released by the band in 2017.

You can tell, it sounds like the other 2017 albums were thrown in a blender. But it works and the result is a great album.

My favourite track was this one

The Great Chain of Being
Gumboot Soup, 2017

...but I also enjoyed this one a lot

...and with Polygondwanaland we are back in progressive rock territory.

Next up on my #GizzaLizaWizaJourney is King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard (I will never use an acronym for their name) album number 3 of 2017, called "Sketches of Brunswick East"

This is the first time where I don't really know what to expect judging from the album cover.

The second track is quite funky, so is this going to be a soul and funk inspired album?

15 #GizzaLizaWizaJourney

Hm... I can't say that I liked the Flying Microtonal Banana much.

So onto the next one, which is Murder of the Universe. Seems like they picked up the pace again (I like that).

Wait, is #KingGizzardAndTheLizardWizard's second album a fictional soundtrack of a fictional western movie, just like Motorphsycho's The Tussler?

If yes: Yee-haw!
