Current Events > King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - 3 new albums in October

(+) Yeah! (+)

Bringing them to 23 albums in just over 10 years. 5 albums this year.

Part of me says bring it on because Omnium Gatherum was one of my favorite albums from this year, but I hope they don't burn out on writing too quickly. I also hope their front-man is doing ok health-wise. Cancelling tour dates and pumping out so much material so quickly is a bit concerning, but maybe I'm looking too into it. Between these albums and the RHCP albums and the Jack White albums, it seems like 2022 has been the year to unleash to material to make up for lost promotional time from COVID (not that it really stopped these guys in particular that much).

I agree they cant keep this up forever, but I read that Stu said that making music is like healing for him. Sort of like how Brandon Sanderson can keep pumping out novels because writing is his main hobby. Maybe theyll have to take a cue from Brandon at some point and cut back on the touring.

The reason I mentioned the concern about his health was because it already is affecting their touring.

That said, I don't know a ton about Chron's so I don't really know how this could affect their recording career. Either way, I just want to support this band however I can because they're actually some fresh blood keeping the world of instrument-based music exciting.

Bring it on!

Oh dang you made a topic first. Really looking forward to October now.

I've only heard a few albums of theirs but I generally like what they do. Butterfly 3000 was next level for me.

Edit: really liked the song TC posted.

I remember once when I posted Intrasport on CE and someone told me it was the worst song they had ever heard.

Legit felt bummed out until someone on Discord was like "dude it's fucking CE, why do you give a shit about what some random jerkoff thought of this song you like".

Intrasport is awesome.

Love this band so much

Omnium Gatherum was pretty good, so it'll be interesting to see if they can pull off.

I LOVE Intrasport, and I've seen some people on the KGLW subreddit say it's their worst song lol.

The run from Some Of Us through Oddlife is for me the high point of their discography. I get so pumped at the WOOO that kicks off Ontology. Really, this band has the best WOOOs.

Intrasport was my gateway into listening to them. I love that song.
