Clay i love your 'what was that' moment at the start of billabong valley, it was moments like that that got me hooked! It was a rattlesnake and then a sleep drifter tease you heard. I love the rattlesnake version at red rocks '22, they get jammy with it and weave in a bunch of other microtonal songs
with nuclear fusion they often have the different members of the band doing the NUCLEAR FUSION yell at the start of the song, and even have people from the crowd do it sometimes (see nuclear fusion live in chicago '23), but it's usually joey
The production on the studio album of FMB is fantastic. You haven't heard this album until you've heard it with the Zurna, lol. Getting a grip on FMB, KG, and LW is nice because they are always blending and teasing these songs inside of each other live due to their shared microtonal nature. Their microtonal stuff is what really got my attention in 2021 and set me on the same journey you two have been on. Still loving it all so much. I listen to all kinds of music, but half of what I listen to is Gizz. It's all so great and so addicting. It's a big freaky family too
@@secondhandreactions To be fair each of their performances throughout the years are vastly different, Billabong from 2017, 2021, 2023 etc. are all different experiences
The drumming in Open Water is my favorite part of my favorite song on the album. They chose to use thrash style drumming for this live version, which was honestly a bit of a letdown personally. Be sure to check out the studio version!
Time for a long comment about this album. I largely prefer the studio versions of all of these tracks, but that goes for most Gizzard. They feel more "creepy" or "eerie" I guess. Its not nearly as heavy, its lofi and grainy, and the vocals are sung quieter, sometimes even whispered. It gives the studio version a sort of eerieness that these (incredible) live versions don't have. The studio versions also have zurna, which Stu unfortunately doesn't play live. I think he stopped playing it altogether actually. Rattlesnake was the first King Gizzard song I heard, and at the time it was probably the heaviest thing I liked listening to (though nowadays I listen to much heavier music). I didn't have a good musical ear at the time, so I couldn't even tell it was microtonal, nor did I pay much attention to their instruments. I just thought it was a great song with an odd music video Melting and Open Water are the songs that I feel the mivrotonality is most obvious. I heard the album in full with a slightly better ear than when I first heard Rattlesnake, and the microtones were uncomfortably obvious to me. I could easily tell they were there and it made me cringe, not because I didn't like it, it was just so clearly out of tune and my ears weren't used to it. The studio version of Open Water is a lot less intense. Once again, it just feels "creepier". But the thrashy version is amazing and I'd love to see it live. Sleep Drifter is kind of a rare King Gizzard love song. Its about that feeling where you're basically asleep, but still awake. Sleep drifting. Hypnogogia? Not sure. The studio version is a lot more hushed and quiet, and interestingly, Stu sings different melodies in the studio version that don't merge with the guitar riff. Billabong Valley is incredible no matter which version you're listening to. Ambrose's voice is always amazing. There is one major difference, being the studio version uses varispeed to speed up the song by a semitone. And yes, you _did_ do a reaction to the KEXP version. Anoxia is Joey's song. It's really good, not much to say about it. The studio version is in a different key though. I could tell the change from the doomy section of Doom City to the faster section really threw you off. It's a _ton_ less jarring in the studio version. It feels a lot more natural. I just wish it was heavier, like the live version. Nuclear Fusion is an incredible song. In the studio version, Joey sings the title at the starts, with his voice slowed to be an octave lower. In the live versions, he also has a similar effect on, but very often (as seen here) he'll pick a special guest to do it instead. Sometimes another bandmate, sometimes a sound guy or friend that came with them, sometimes even an audience member. The studio version has an extra bit at the end where he sings the title again. I'll leave my opinion of the title track under your reaction to it. Phenomenal album, very glad you enjoyed it! Or at least these live versions. This is actually 1 of 2 King Gizz albums I have on CD, the other being their 6th album "Quarters!", which starts off with the phenomenal "The River" and then has 3 much simpler, more repetitive tracks. Every song on that album is 10 minutes and 10 seconds in the studio version, resulting in each song being a quarter of the album, thus the name.

if you want more microtones, the albums K.G. and L.W. are both follow ups to this one. L.W. is my personal favourite of the three
I like KG and LW SO MUCH MORe than FMB. Just so much more dynamics and unique ideas on those two albums

Fingers crossed for no copyright nonsense! Let’s goooo
Already hurdled it! We good
@@secondhandreactions tubular!!
You guys heard billabong valley on the kexp session with the micro tonal banana 💜
Yup. I totally botched it haha. I forgot we heard it and then thought it was crumbling castle like a dummy

woooooo!!!!, i love this show so much!!!! , this is a dream come true! MICROTONAL. NUUUCLEAR FUSIIIOOON!! ♥♥♥
Love yalls reactions to this. Open Water is a top 5 for me for its groovy heaviness and being part of the microtonal offerings from them
Doom City is probably my favorite on FMB because of that absolutely chunky chorus tempo shift.

Nice!! Was gonna recommend Open Water at some point soon. This whole album is great.
this has the heavy version of Open Water they played one time, is great but a bit different from the album and ask the other times they play it
@@tillzillz Yeah i was gonna say, i dont remember open water being nearly that heavy on the album lmao
I can't wait 35 hours nooo
so GOOD!!!
Yes!!!!
What is the story behind the "two thumbs up for legoland" and "stop legoland" posters.?
I like the album drum part better on Open Water, I feel it gives it more personality.
Yall shoulddo a relisten to sleep drifter back when they had two drummers. The drums hit so harder
This. FMB was written with two drummers in mind
let’s goooo
FMB is by far my favourite King Gizz album. Not a single bad tune on it.
Bananas!!!!!
Noice!
