"One of the most consistent releases from King Gizzard with this album being a ball of pure energy throughout the entire experience. It is full of amazing riffs, interesting lyrics, strong vocal work and some powerful drumming. The best example of how good this album is comes right at the start of..." [+] Reply

"Are you kidding me, KGLW? 11 years and 20 albums later, these guys may be hitting yet another peak with IDPLMAL. This self-described "jammy" album features tongue-in-cheek lyrics that offer a smirk and a wink towards contemporary jam bands (the same way Infest the Rat's Nest did, but for heavy me..." [+] Reply

"I don't know how they can put out so much quality but they do and this is no exception. Slap after slap with no filler. The sounds of a band with a complete mastery of their output and an ability to do pretty much whatever they want." Reply

"(On one hand this is just another King Gizzard album and the third in their series of albums exploring their brilliant microtonal experimentations, on the other hand more of a good to great thing is, well, good to great!) I remember a few years back when Flying Microtonal Banana dropped King Gizz..." [+] Reply

"Now 26 albums deep, King Gizz intentionally returns to the boogie stylings of 2019's Fishing for Fishies to mine for more golden nuggets. Don't mistake this repetitious decision for an out-of-ideas misstep; this collection of fresh tunes flows as well as anything else in their catalog and is a we..." [+] Reply

"To say KGLW are going through a fruitful period at the moment would be an understatement. This year alone they have continued to exceed expectations with their impressive output of high quality music. 'Laminated Denim' continues the trend." Reply
"Though much more musically challenging than any of the other KGLW releases so far this year (or even just this MONTH), Changes still manages to hit its hardest with its more traditional shorter, groovier numbers like "Hate Dancin'", "Astroturf", and "Gondii". I've seen this album be referred to a..." [+] Reply
