"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. Every song radiates this positivity in its instrumentation making it lovable and feel personal even if it is just your..."  [More]  Reply

"What a wonderful surprise! This was very enjoyable. Other comments have noted similarities to Pink Floyd and Tame Impala, but I think there is influence from The Weeknd and Kid Cudi here too. Even though his sound has been elevated with these new sonic pallets, he still sounds like the same artis..."  [More]  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..."  [More]  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. The album..."  [More]  Reply
