Polygondwanaland is eternally underrated. An unfolding masterpiece where you notice new things on every listen. Putting PMDB and Fishing for Fishies in your top 5 is a very respectable choice though. Can't believe those are considered deep cuts at this point.
Tbh I would put Poly at 1 and kick Nonagon out of the top 5 altogether, but I’m totally okay with the rest of his top 5. I’d maybe move Rats’ Nest to 5 and bump the others up but I am a big fan of the rest of his take.
Polygond is highly praised among the kg community, and the public didn't think it was that bad either, i think it has a strong cult of fans spinning it :)
1. Polygondwanaland - This is the band at their absolute peak in my opinion. Crumbling Castle and the Horology suite showcase some of their best lyrical writing ever ("from under the skin the flesh has rotten - poison has spread through words unsaid... our time has come, transcending us above the one to ego death") and it's all set to this wonderful ever-changing pulse of synths and bass. 2. Nonagon Infinity - A completely new sound that as far as I know has never been heard before or since. This one is still growing on me - I "got" Road Train a couple months ago, and then a week later I "got" Wah Wah, and now it's my favorite on the album. 3. Float Along-Fill Your Lungs - This one isn't my favorite in terms of the album as a whole, but with the triple whammy of Head On/Pill, 30 Past 7 and Float Along itself (which I consider their single best song overall) means I'll always keep coming back to it. 4. Murder of the Universe - Han-Tyumi's tale simply gives me goosebumps. It's also impossible to recommend - "yeah this one's about a robot who wants to be human, so he builds a machine that vomits and combines himself with it, and then destroys the universe by vomiting too much." statements made by the utterly deranged 5. Butterfly 3000 - I had Black Hot Soup stuck in my head for three days straight once.
imo i gotta disagree with Float Along and Murder Of The Universe for the top 5, Float Along is much more forgettable than a lot of their other joints and, while the Han-Tyumi part of Murder Of The Universe is top 3 moments of the band, it's just a third of the album, and personally what i think is the only truly great third of it Polygondwanaland is my absolute favorite and Nonagon Infinity comes very close too, Butterfly 3000 is a wild pick but somewhat agreeable
Flying Microtonal Banana will always be my favorite, not a bad track on the album, even the outro song feels in place and concludes the project very well! 10/10
@@ericaolive In that case I would like to inform you that their most recent record is named, and I quote, “PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation”. Yeah.
@@ericaolivewhat’s really great about King Gizz is they have so many albums and genres that there’s probably something you’ll like, even if you don’t care for the rest. Thrash metal, progressive metal, prog rock, psychedelic rock, psych pop, a little bit of rap, electronica, jazz, blues, garage rock, surf rock, and even a Western audiobook. If you want an album that has a little bit of everything, their 2022 album Omnium Gatherum is amazing.
Rats Nest getting the credit it deserves. An absolute grinding creature, far from the heaviest or most innovative thrash record, but the lyrics are so absolutely cutting and the grooves are so angular and bizarre, they just lodge themselves in your brain. Organ Farmer alone goes toe to toe with any death metal record for being unsettlingly gory, visceral & bizarrely funny without getting so wordy or over the top that the shock factor gets lost. Tracks like Superbug & Mars For The Rich have aged like fine fucking wine with the pandemic & Elon has getting worse & worse respectively. Fucking love that record.
Gumboot Soup is super underrated imo and a personal top five for sure. May not be nearly as cohesive or conceptual as many of their other releases but I love the variety you get from the tracklist and how catchy a lot of the tunes are! That’s probably why it’s my most listened to of theirs (Rat’s Nest being a close second). Great Chain of Being, I’m Sleepin’ In and Beginner’s Luck are top tier Gizz songs. But ya gotta love how everyone has a unique favorite! Just proof of how quality their prolific run has been.
@@ArchibaldClumpy OMG, you finally made the connection I could never put my tongue on! It really does kinda just sound like a lost song from the Chocolate and Cheese sessions lol. And I love that album so that nothing but a compliment.
1. Fishing for Fishies 2. Ice, Death... 3. Mind Fuzz 4. Poly 5. Petrodragon (I know it's early, but i am absolutely hooked) So incredibly hard to rank them though.
I think Petro is definitely better than Rat’s Nest. I love the prog influence on it more and the songs are just much more defined and I’m a fan of them being longer. In terms of metal, thrash isn’t my favorite so them adding a ton of prog influence definitely makes it better for me. I haven’t delved into the whole narrative of Petro yet, but the narrative in ITRN is definitely great
Fishies is phenomenal. The mosh was going crazy during "This Thing" at Remlinger this past weekend. I'm happy it's been getting the recognition it deserves
1. I'm In Your Mind Fuzz 2. Polygondwanaland 3. PetroDragonic Apocalypse (it is that good imo) 4. Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava 5. Omnium Gatherum Call this ranking recency bias all you want but i've heard these albums enough times where i feel i'm confident over my ranking. The only album that might go higher over time is PDA but everything else remains the same for now.
Teenage Gizzard at 1 is definitely a bold choice by Melon here. Cant complain though because they dont have a single bad album ang there is an argument for any album to be 1, even Butterfly 3001...
Wow my top 5 is completely different 5.omnium gatherum( become one of my favorites through relistens very versatile album) 4. Float along fill your lungs( one of my favorite modern psych albums, and head on Pill is a masterpiece of a song) 3..sketches of Brunswick east (this is actually the most underrated gizz album why the Fuck is it a 5 melon?!?!) 2.murder of the Universe(I prefer it to nonagon) 1. I'm in your mind fuzz( perfect album, always what I recommend people start with)
The fact that nonagon is the only one I would put on my top 5 says something about their output :D In no particular order, I would go with: Nonagon MOTU Polygondwanaland Ice, Death BFK 3000 Pedrodragonic Apocalypse may or may not take one of the slots once some time has passed.
@@jon.bo_ I've also been listening to it on a daily basis since it came out. Fantastic record, though in my book the same applies to like 75% of Gizz's output 🤣
@@aneski oh absolutely! if you haven’t already, i hope you get a chance to see them live - being able to see them has genuinely been one of the highlights of my life
@@jon.bo_ I had tickets to their show in Finland last summer, but then they unfortunately cancelled half of the remaining European tour when Stu got ill. This year they won't come here, but fingers crossed that it'll happen sooner rather than later.
Respectable list tbh. They have so many banger albums that some of their best will inevitably be left out of a top 5, but their diverse discography makes it so that everyone has a very different top 5 which is pretty great.
1. Nonagon Infinity (also the first time I saw them live was one of the Nonagon shows in Melbourne and I was forever changed) 2. Petro Dragonic Apocalypse 3. Sketches of Brunswick East (So underrated) 4. Polygondwanaland 5. Infest the Rats Nest
glad fishies is getting respect, i remember when it came out a lot people HATED IT (myself included). but i listened to it over the summer and it totally hooked me. great summer album
I think Petro is a top 2 or 3 to be, jokeying that spot with Polygonawanaland and only behind Nonagon Infinity (although i definitely can see after a few months with Petro sinking in, it even overtaking Nonagon)
LW is so underrated. Tho I enjoy it way more if I listen to it along with KG. For me KG&LW together is ther microtonal masterpiece. +1 hour and a half of pure bliss
1. Polygondwanaland (Inner Cell) 2. Ice, Death, Planets (Magma) 3. PetroDragon (Witchcraft) 4. Changes (Gondii) 5. Gumboot Soup (Muddy Water) Honorable mentions a.k.a the reason why a KGLW top 5 is a non-starter: Hypertension, Hot Water, Gaia, Catching Smoke, Mars for the Rich, This Thing, Altered Beast II, Sleep Drifter, Big Fig Wasp, Trapdoor, The River
For me my top 5 and their top 5 are kinda 2 different beasts lol My top 5 would be: Changes, Float Along - Fill Your Lungs, Polygondawandaland, I’m in Your Mind Fuzz, and either Laminated Denim or Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, and Lava (gizztober really grew on me wow) I think their more definitive top 5 would be: Nonagon, Infest the Rats Nest, Polygon, Flying Microtonal Banana, and Paper Mache Dream Baloon or maybe even PetroDragonic Apocalypse
i've only listened to nonagon, rats nest, and mind fuzz. and mind fuzz is my favorite by far. the first four tracks flow beautifully, and the part where the lyrics kick in on iiymf (track 4) is such a goddamn rewarding climax to the first chunk of the album. slow jam 1 and 2 are also (obviously) highlights. it's so fun, re-listenable, mesmerizing. i fucking love it 😮💨
its so cool seeing everyones top 5 and having them be so different. i fucking love this band and their vast discography but heres my top 5! 5. flying microtonal banana 4. nonagon infinity 3. im in your mind fuzz 2. Paper mache dream balloon 1. Quarters (super tough narrowing it down to 5. honorable mentions go to petrodragonic, polygon, fishing for fishies, float along and changes)
Unpopular opinion, but 12 Bar Bruise is actually my number 2 and deeply underrated. The gizzies didnt even need a warmup they been dropping heat from day 1 IDK man it's not as complex or mature as their later stuff but something about those scuzzy distorted garage blues riffs and Stu wailing on the harmonica does it for me.
Petrodraconic Apocalypse is an easy 10/10 for me, record of 2023 even. Idc if you wanna label that as recency bias, but for someone who isn't nearly as big of a fan of the band as most people (not in the sense that I don't like them, and more in the sense that i can't keep up), it definitely got me hooked from start to finish, which a lot of their other albums I've gone through so far haven't really done for me personally (Yes, even Rat's Nest). Microtonal is sick though, Rattlesnake is a Top 3 song
My personal top 5 would be: Polygondwanaland, Ice death, butterfly 3000, KG, Murder of the universe. Petrodragonic will probably be on this list with a few more listens
big W's as usual but i disagree slightly so here's my ranking that probably no one will see but i'm doing it anyway 1. Nonagon Infinity - 10/10 2. I'm In Your Mind Fuzz - 10/10 3. Flying Microtonal Banana - strong 9/10 4. Infest the Rats' Nest - strong 9/10 5. Ice, Death, Planets... - 9/10 HMs: PetroDragonic Apocalypse - 9/10 Paper Mache Dream Balloon - decent to strong 8/10 Polygondwanaland - 8/10
i wouldn’t say paper mache dream balloon is underrated, for most gizz fans this is their top album when it comes to the “non-rock” spectrum of their discography. their most underrated has to be gumboot soup
This band said “we’re dropping 5 albums this year”, and just dropped 5 of the best albums of the decade, none of the albums was “the one you can skip”.
W take, fun to see you give FFF some love even though a lot of other records could fight for that spot. Mine would probably have Polgondwanaland at second and I‘m in you mind fuzz and third. That record to me is the most Gizz sounding album even though it might not objectively be the best.

Yo here comes the silver chord
A top 5 isn't enough, we should get a proper tier list/ranking of their albums
A king gizz tier list would be like two hours long and honestly I'd probably sit through it lmao
King Gizz would have created several additional albums by the time a tier list video would be uploaded
We passed the point of that being a possibility like, 12 albums ago.
It’d just be out of date within a few months.

The Ad: 📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢😭😭😭😭📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸
this is almost exactly my top 5 as well.
It's pretty hard to choose but
1. Poly
2. FMB
3. MOTU
4. IDPLML
5. I'm in your mind fuzz
1. Flying Microtonal Banana
2. Sketches Of Brunswick East
3. Polyngondwanaland
4. Fishing For Fishies
5. Paper Mache Dream Balloon
Petrodraconic Apocalypse is an easy 10/10 for me, record of 2023 even. Idc if you wanna label that as recency bias, but for someone who isn't nearly as big of a fan of the band as most people (not in the sense that I don't like them, and more in the sense that i can't keep up), it definitely got me hooked from start to finish, which a lot of their other albums I've gone through so far haven't really done for me personally (Yes, even Rat's Nest). Microtonal is sick though, Rattlesnake is a Top 3 song
Anto's lack of time for Poly is o_0
1. murder of the universe
2. infest the rates' nest
3. nonagon infinity
4. i'm in your mind fuzz
5. polygondwanaland
Hot take: Fishies is the closest KG have gotten to dad rock thus far.
My personal top 5 would be:
Polygondwanaland, Ice death, butterfly 3000, KG, Murder of the universe. Petrodragonic will probably be on this list with a few more listens
big W's as usual but i disagree slightly so here's my ranking that probably no one will see but i'm doing it anyway
1. Nonagon Infinity - 10/10
2. I'm In Your Mind Fuzz - 10/10
3. Flying Microtonal Banana - strong 9/10
4. Infest the Rats' Nest - strong 9/10
5. Ice, Death, Planets... - 9/10
HMs:
PetroDragonic Apocalypse - 9/10
Paper Mache Dream Balloon - decent to strong 8/10
Polygondwanaland - 8/10
1. Infest the Rats' Nest
2. Nonagon Infinity
3. PetroDragonic Apocalypse
4. I'm in Your Mind Fuzz
5. Butterfly 3000
i wouldn’t say paper mache dream balloon is underrated, for most gizz fans this is their top album when it comes to the “non-rock” spectrum of their discography. their most underrated has to be gumboot soup
seeing tons of gumboot love in the comments. cool to see :) i absolutely love barefoot desert
1. Nonagon Infinity
2. IDPLML
3. Flying Microtonal Banana
4. Butterfly 3000
5. Paper Mache
1.polygon
2.MOTU
3.nonagon
4.laminated denim
5.changes
Wild how my list is mostly the same but with Laminated Denim at 5 and IDPLML at 3
This band said “we’re dropping 5 albums this year”, and just dropped 5 of the best albums of the decade, none of the albums was “the one you can skip”.
I think petradragonic apocolypse might be rising to one of my favorites. Have never been able to sit through paper mache for some reason.
1. mind fuzz
2. nonagon infinity
3. polygondwanaland
4. paper mache
4. murder of the universe
Holy shit W list. Sketches is my fav album but I wouldn’t even mind taking this list
At number 1. We have....
Every song.
Number 2. We have...
The number 1 has to be Red Rocks Live album. Arguably not just their best, but the best live album of all time.
I beg to differ, definitely not the best live album ever, but the best thing Gizz has ever done!
1998.12.28 is a better live album, but both are amazing
parannoul better
Sanfransisco live 2014 and every other live show after is the best.
Chicago '23 for the win
"this thing is insane" THIS THING BEST SONG CONFIRMED???
Oh phew, someone agrees. (Wish outro was more prevalent in studio)
i really vibe with his appreciation of paper mâché, definetly underrated
5 mind fuzz
4 butterfly 3000
3 LW
2 ice death
1 nonagon
1. Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava
2. Omnium Gatherum
3. Nonagon Infinity
4. K.G
5. Quarters!
I respect your opinion but weird list, here’s mine
#5 fishing for fishies
#4 fishing for fishies
#3 fishing for fishies
#2 fishing for fishies
#1 fishing for fishies
1. Nonagon infinity
2. Polygondwanaland
3. Infest the rats nest
4. Fishing for fishies
5. Flying microtonal banana
Paper Mache is actually my personal #1
1. FMB
2. Nonagon
3. petrodragon
4. Rats nest
5. LW
Nonagon infinity always opens the door
W take, fun to see you give FFF some love even though a lot of other records could fight for that spot. Mine would probably have Polgondwanaland at second and I‘m in you mind fuzz and third. That record to me is the most Gizz sounding album even though it might not objectively be the best.
1. Polygondwanaland
2. Nonagon Infinity
3. Butterfly 3000
4. PetroDragonic Apocalypse
5. Flying Microtonal Banana
Good list
Paper mache recognition let's fucking go
This new one is gonna break that top 5 mark my words
My top 5 would be
1. Flying Microtonal Banana
2. Polygondwanaland
3. Omnium Gatherum
4. Changes
5. Fishing For Fishies
Melon is afraid of narration, which is why he constantly underrates MotU
Petro Dragonic is a master piece
Petrodragonic apocalypse is #1 to me
When I first started listening to Gizzard, I spun Paper Mache often just to cut the heavy stuff, and it kept me coming back. Truly underrated
