I always wonder to what degree these songs were thought out in advance or if they were just jamming until they got something that sounds good.

11:50 Drummer does a little variarion on the snare, alternating A pattern and B pattern

checked the album on the basis of this video - thanks!

Glad I'm not the only one who heard this album and thought "Oh I need to learn this to figure out how it works", though I didn't get anywhere near this far haha, great job, this sounds incredible

Had to listen after your 2024's Top 9, and hooooooly what an amazing album. Not only an analytical master but a short-scale keyboard buff 🧐?? a real Renaissance Goat

Nice, been using the album to improve my harmony and songwriting since it came out

Had a listen after seeing this, really fun record, thanks for bringing attention to it.

Tasty playthrough, thanks for introducing me to Pearl and the Oysters!

You did an insanely fantastic job here! So glad to see someone doing this. And doing it well. I’m a music theorist who has studied opeth for 20 years. You nailed section I. In section ii, i interpret this as a D octatonic scale (the lead plays half-whole and the rhythm part plays whole-half).

FMB, KG and LW have cause me to become obsessed with microtonality and my goal is to one day build microtonal instuments for my band and write songs using them. I'm so grateful for this breakdown on how King Gizzard uses microtonality in their sclaes, and hope that more people can learn about microtonality

amazing analysis!

Brother your King Gizz videos are an absolute God Send. Please may you break down Todd Rundgren's music? He is an absolute GENIUS composer who has a lot of golden nuggets in his music. You can start with songs like *Compassion* , *Flesh* or *The Verb to Love* , I honestly believe you will have an AMAZING time dissecting his music!

siiiiiick, yeah I didn't catch the 7/16 drums at all listening casually. And that visualization of misalignment with the drums with the diagonal lines is intuitive and slick!

I like the title, but know basically nothing about music theory.

Nice to see more Jaga Jazzist content on RUclips, thanks!

Brilliantly done!

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!! FOUND YOU THROUGH THE YEAR END ALBUMS VID AND I LOVE THIS ALBUM AND I LOVE THIS BREAKDOWN

This King Gizzard content is top tier, great work!!

when that harmonied solo comes im my pantaloons just drop

2:18 that’s so surprising to me that the first way of hearing it was overwhelmingly what people preferred, i’ve only ever heard it the second way and never even considered the first way until this video

Make more gizzard vids!

one of my favourite tracks on my favourite album ever. awesome. :)

Great breakdown!! Made it pretty easy to follow why the song is tricky

What tempo is the "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" delivered at?

Primarily what I’ve learned in this video is that I need to start composing SNES era boss music using compound polyrhythms

This album is so amazing, every song is a 10. Dragon would be another cool breakdown, but I assume that video would be an hour long to break down every section lol

The intro is so damn good.

i heard that little cheeky hiccup at 14:47!!

I can't express how much satisfying it is to finally make sens of this song in such a clear and visual way . I sincerely want to thank you for putting in the work of transcribing and analyzing this song, It revived and confirmed my fascination for the band ! Amazing job !

another day another banger, TPD never misses

I remember hearing this song for the first time after an upload came out and my ears immediately perked up - ''Oh, this is Crumbling Castle 2.0 but Middle Eastern and metal!''. ruclips.net/video/9Zp0a3WKDu0/видео.html

I just discover you by this video. This channel is amazing!! greetings from Chile!

I would love to see you do a Breakdown of some Trivium songs especially the Shogun album!

5:26 i keep trying to train my mind to feel ok with each different configuration. So that it’s not polymetric but a cascade of different patterns with singing on top. But it’s hard. Only the bass is sort of a glue.

Melody gives the illusion of the song being the least complicated composition on the whole album. Turns out its the opposite, pretty challenging to comprehend.

Could you do a breakdown of Tumbleboy by Palm? Some of the rhythms are very confusing to me.

This is one my favorites from this album! Thanks for the analysis

Thank you for all of your hard work in doing this. This is awesome. Makes me love KGLW even more.

really loving this channel! would you be interested in covering some music theory from 'rope' and 'the beggar' in swans' 'the beggar' live tour?

Great video, I got a lot out of it. Some less-educated questions: Why do we use Dm/F and not F6? The latter seems at least as elegant in this case. D#b6b5 is certainly more clunky than B7/D# but the former seems to capture the hefty D#-ness of that movement. Remember learning this on bass as a teenager and feeling like those low notes were really where the significance of those chord changes were.

I'll tell you it took about a minute after seeing this video in my recommended for me to be subscribed. Was then psyched to see Vertebra Atlantis on top of that! I'm sure you have enough on your plate, but I'd mention Haunter as a death metal band w/ some sweet harmonic elements (especially on Discarnate Ails)- check them out if you haven't. Great video!

10:04, I think this is the little cymbal that Ambrose plays when there's no harmonica part and he hasn't got much else to do lol. Love the guy, but I suspect it's rhythmically "simple" (at least compred to Cavs' part) because he's just not a drummer. You can see him bangin it around 1min55s here: ruclips.net/video/I1cvm0FosMs/видео.html

I fucking knew there was something weird about this song. It's my favorite one on the album and none of my friends agreed. All I could say was "THIS ONE ISNT LIKE THE OTHERS ARE YOU NUTS?" But I couldn't put my finger on it.

I'm so glad you chose this track for a video. This song hooked me when it came out, and I knew there was some witchcraft going on in the rhythm section. Thank you for the breakdown, and for giving me a deeper appreciation for the songwriting.

Love watching Stu and Joey performing the solo harmony that I now sorta understand a little more ( or maybe just appreciate its complexity more). Thanks for this

I have a math degree and this made my head spin

One of my favorite Gizz songs. Great breakdown as always!

i know how to play this song on bass. not once have i counted or looked at it this way xD done it all by feel hahaha that being said your vid is awesome. i would have never thought this song is so busy.

Awesome list! My two top albums that sort of stood above anything else were Eunuchs - Harbor Century and Geordie Greep - The New Sound. But some of what i’m seeing in this vid sounds appealing. Might have to append the list soon.

This video is awesome! It’d be sick if you could make sense of some of the stuff math rock band Giraffes? Giraffes! has concocted.
