"“There’s this woman on the internet, Even if she’s some Nigerian guy Yeah well you should read the poetry he speaks to me, i don’t care if they’re just beautiful lies.” Holy shit lmao this album is fuckin amazing." Reply
"What an oddyssey. This album may have lots of filler, but it really is an unforgettable ride about monsters, epic fights and existencialist robots. Not quite as good as "Flying Microtonal Banana", but worth listening to just for the fun of it. Highlights: "Altered Beast I", "Lord of Lightning", "..." [+] Reply

"Most songs are great, specially the first one, but there are 2 or 3 that break a little the album in my opinion. Huge album still, I'd say King Gizzard's year is even better than Brockhampton's." Reply

"Engaging folk/punk outfit fronted by the charismatic Wil Wagner. Hunt 'birthdays' down for a good taste on you tube. Meanwhile I look forward to catching them live." Reply
