"This is an album packed full of nostalgia and feels like it could have easily been made in the 70's with it giving off that classic feel good energy that is extremely infectious.

"Been a few top class come backs from older artists this decade from people like Nas or Suede, who many had written off for good reason. I certainly had and their last before this I thought was a final embarrassing nail and a low point. It's funny how adversity can galvanise acts to push further, ..." [+] Reply

"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

"Slowly honed by the tides of time, this high quality offering has become surprisingly stuck to my digital turntable. The album’s quality is inescapable, but it’s the experience and beauty in Gabriel’s voice, now in its eighth decade, that really impresses." Reply

"Not mind blowing, nothing really new, but still a solid contribution to their discography. Not sure what else they can do at this point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sounds like their older stoner rock blended with Villains, in a good way. Songwriting and musicianship are as tight as ever, especially live.
