I think this would be a fun experiment. As we all land back here let’s post our favorite track from the boys.

I've been listening to Gizz all evening during this migration.
Favorite track is insanely difficult, but I'm going with The Book because it always sticks with me. But The Chain of Being and Loyalty are WAY up the list as well. But you forced me to pick one, so here it is.

Poly is still my personal favorite album. I still tell most people to start with Nonagon, but I listen to Poly the most often by far.

Waited until the new forum to post. But I got my Fire Goby.

Glad to see this thread is already up and running! My favorite King Gizzard album is “I’m In Your Mind Fuzz”, but my favorite song from them is “The River”. The vibes on this track are second to none imo.

Got my signed copy of Fishies yesterday in the mail but haven't had a chance to spin just yet. I'm not a super fan, but like a lot of their records and was surprised how much I like the new one! I'm not really a boogie rock kinda guy, but its a ton of fun.
Damn that's crazy you still dont have yours. I feel like I've had my copy for a month already. Well hopefully it arrives safe and sound tomorrow and you enjoy it as much as I have.

I still haven’t ordered a LP copy of FfF. I’ve been listening to it on CD since it came out.

What kind of sick colored variants do they have on CD?!

LOL! Red with black text on side A and a shiny reflective mirror on side B. Limited to 10,000.

I don't think I could ever name an all time favorite song, at different times it has been: The River, Road Train, Her & I, Planet B, The Fourth Colour, Hot Wax, and The Book.
Way back on page 4 of the old thread I posted a gizzverse link I found, it took a while to write it out so I thought I'd put it back in here:
"So theres a link I don't think I've seen made yet.. I'm sure we're mostly familiar with the links between IIYMF, Nonagon and MOTU, they all have the castle/mountain in the album art. Someone in the facebook group pointed out some pretty strong visual similarities between Disney's Fantasia and the artwork (The Castle, Mountain and floating robed figures match). So moving forward..
They've used Brubeck's Take Five as inspiration for The River (from quarters), and it seems a fair bit like they've used Blue Rondo A La Turk (From the same Brubeck album) as inspiration for parts of chapter 1 of MOTU (So far unreleased, but you can hear it in live recordings of Altered Beast/Altered Me), the complex rythym and a similar melody is there. Next step..
This is where my connection comes in, The Sorcerer's Apprentice is probably the most well known sequence from Fantasia, in particular its theme; to me, Blue Rondo A La Turk sounds a bit like the Sorcerer's Apprentice theme backwards. Do I sound insane yet? Heres some reference:
Altered Beast/Altered Me:
Sounds like:
Blue Rondo A La Turk:
Which sounds like (Ignoring rythym):
The Sorcerer's Apprentice (3:25/8:05):
They do sound like each other right? Is this some insane coincidence? There are definitely some intentional pretty deep links around the Gizzverse, but I can't tell if I'm deluding myself here."
