The first of only two songs, The Land Before Timeland, introduce you into this world the band has made up and takes you on a tour through lush guitars, harmonies, drummings, and melodies that wrap you around this rather calm yet still jammy song. What I love most about this is that even with the calm demeanor you can still feel the rising action. As the song progresses things get faster, more chords are introduced, and this jovial sense of wonder gets refined more and more. It doesn't blow down the doors at the end, but there is a clear sense of movement and change within the music. I just adore the mood this song has. It is so fun and bouncy that it just makes me get into a good mood. This applies to most King Gizzard songs but here is how they capture it and let it ride and rise through this 15-minute jam makes me, in my mind, clap with joy. This is an aspect that I dig with the original Made In Timeland album and while things felt within the same song, you can tell things changed despite the consistency. Here they also do that but even better. It doesn't even feel like 15 minutes, it is like taking a nice long shower and getting out as if time hadn't passed at all. It is almost spooky how a good long song does that. What a song, and it isn't even the only one.With the rising action of The Land Before Timeland, we jump into Hypertension, which is also fantastic. Here you can fear their energy just pouring, but still retaining the beauty and happiness the last song portrayed. I love King Gizzard due to how no matter what genre they twist and turn to they will always keep the mood up consistently. Never once in their discography, from their garage rock era to their brief ventures in synthpop did I feel their vibes and energy lose their weight. I think here they are capturing that energy into a photograph and stapling it in their photo album because I can just feel it all with this song. Fast-moving guitars, unique drum patterns, eccentric vocals, extremely satisfying bass patterns, and even some keyboards were added in for good measure. Every aspect here plays a role, and the roles they play are so well done that the band can play a game of chess blindfolded and still win. They are just that well performed. That ending too of those choir singing-like synths just raises the bar further and further until it falls apart and we get back into the fun-filled jams until that also falls apart with an immediate release of tension that builds up throughout the record. I'd say that is a great way to end this boisterous record. Funny how one of the shortest King Gizzard albums turns out to be one of, if not the best albums they have put out. Just two songs and it's already one of my favorite albums of this year. It is such a fun listen that does not take very long in establishing itself in my brain. It is fast, jovial, and some of the best works the band has put out in this month, if not in this year, if not in their entire careers. I recommend listening to this. Grab a pair of headphones and just let the music wash you away with those groovy grooves and those beautiful arrangements. social review comments Review PermalinkPosted Wednesday, October 12, 2022 Review this album Report (Review #2845552)

If you want to support this amazing band, please purchase the album on their bandcamp page: kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-london-19 Recorded at their live gig in front of 10,000 people at Alexandra Palace, London. This adrenaline filled live album contains songs from the duration of King Gizzard's long and prolific career and excellently captures the energy of the crowd.I managed to book 2 tickets to the gig back in the March of 2019 and ended up arriving at one of the best gigs of my life. The crowd energy was incredible with everyone buzzing, moshpits blooming into life. An incredible adaptive display was featured behind the band, causing flashing reds and neon greens to splash across the outstretched hands of the people below. Leaving the gig, I needed a rest and a new pair of clothes, as without realising, I had been dancing non-stop for just shy of two hours.King Gizzard have kindly allowed small labels to create merchandise for their new bandcamp releases. I instantly jumped at the idea of making cassettes. The cassettes will be posted in mid February, this allows time for a good number of pre-orders to be sold, and then grants me enough time to record each cassette (as I do for all releases).If you are new to the label, please have a look at some of our previous releases to gain an idea of how the finished cassettes will look as these pictures are only mock-ups. $(".tralbum-about").last().bcTruncate(TruncateProfile.get("tralbum_about"), "more", "less"); credits released February 16, 2021 Live at Alexandra Palace, London, England, October 5th 2019Recorded by our sound crew:Sam Joseph, Stacey Wilson, Gaspard De MeulemeesterDrums: Michael CavanaghGuitar / Keys: Cook CraigHarmonica / Vocals / Keys / Percussion: Ambrose Kenny-SmithVocals / Guitar / Keys: Stu MackenzieDrums: Eric MooreBass: Lucas HarwoodGuitar / Vocals: Joey WalkerMixed by Stu MackenzieCover design by Jason GaleaPublished by Crafting Room RecordingsCassette Design by Archie SagersC R R _ 0 1 4 $(".tralbum-credits").last().bcTruncate(TruncateProfile.get("tralbum_long"), "more", "less"); license some rights reserved tags Tags alternative king gizzard thrash metal garage rock neo-psych psychedelic rock Brighton Shopping cart total USD Check out about Crafting Room Recordings Brighton, UK
