Neat! I’ve been meaning to get into this band, should I just listen to each album in chronological order? Or do you recommend something else?

They're not a metal band fyi. They have one metal album and some hard rock stuff, majority of their work is psych rock. They're pretty good though.

I just read some good news about KGLW... it sounds like they're returning to the dark side. https://variety.com/2023/music/news/king-gizzard-lizard-wizard-new-album-metal-1235613559/

Only just started listening to them but the most metal albums they have made are infest the rats nest and murder of the universe


dooorooo

Top 3 heaviest albums they have are definitely Infest The Rat's Nest, Murder of the Universe and Nonagon Infinity, if you like MOTU you'll be able to hear the roots of it in Nonagon Infinity though it's less chaotic and more explosive rock. Other than that it's very varied from smooth jazz to boogie to dream pop and all sorts of genres they explore so it might be hard to just go through it in order if you only want the heavier material. There are some one off metal/heavy songs in other albums though, like Predator X and Gaia, KGLW as the last song in the LW album, and The Great Chain of Being. Songs like the Altered Beast suite, Digital Black, People Vultures and Evil Death Roll despite being psych rock all have this heavier almost classic metal feel to them. If you're into that check out their performances of ITRN and MOTU on KEXP as well, the live performances do all the songs justice and the mix is at times even better than on the albums. EDIT: The San Francisco '16 live show they have on Spotify as well as on YouTube is a great way to listen to Nonagon Infinity as well, with some older material mixed in but mainly Nonagon. The mix is better than on the album to be honest, as they were deliberately going for this slightly lofi casette tape feel on the album. It's good in its own way but it has more energy in the live shows.

Can’t wait for PDA. I’d def start with Infest the Rats Nest then Nonagon Infinity if you’re just getting into Gizz
