0.0 BMDrummer | April 23rd 17

the only band that matters.

5 Bumps | Bump

0.0 TheBarber | June 5th 17

Exp-Psych Gem. An odyssey in three chapters told not through the led-paint of slow ass synth bullshit, but rather in the continuous clang'n'bang of the instruments and a half unintelligible stoned she-devil: our main storyteller for this bloody bleeding universe

2 Bumps | Bump

4.5 superbFlipTrackz | June 25th 17

Given more time this might be my favorite Gizzard album yet.

3.3 greatErwann S. EMERITUS | January 23rd 24

King Gizz's first foray into heavier territories is cool and all but DAYUM these tracks are begging for a live setting.

3.0 goodiGuter | June 19th 20

The album has a consistent and energetic pace; but the spoken tracks really drag it down, especially with how many there are. If you were listening to throughout, it?s fine.

3.5 greatcjbizzlebizzle | October 31st 17

The second Gizzard album of 2017 is a venture down an entirely different path from their first 2017 release sans the fact that it is once again loosely based in psychedelic rock. During the Murder of the Universe you will be bombarded with narration and several stories which will result in more exposure to the Altered Beast, the Balrog, the Lord of Lightning and a cyborg than most are used to. At first this narration feels very much over the top but revisiting the album and learning the concept a bit more makes the story fit the repetitive and energetic psych rock. After some time it becomes obvious that this album wouldn't even survive without the narration and the spoken word and rock need each other so there is at least minimal structure to the album. King Gizzard once again bring their own flair, fun and whacky creativity to a classic rock genre but if you don't like storytime this one is probably a record to avoid.
