    There may be reference points aplenty throughout Nonagon Infinity and its creators make-up but King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard sure know how to put their own spin on things. And in doing so have created their finest body of work to date.

    It's seamless, silly, but seriously good stuff. [Jun 2016, p.113]

    A whirling dervish of an album, and a culmination of all their previous hard work, Nonagon Infinity is the sound of a band at their wigged out best.

    Nonagon Infinity is a definite mind-melt (see how many times you can loop it without losing it), and impressively keeps up with its initial premise.

    It can be a taxing eardrum workout--its beefed-up guitar work (from Walker, Stu Mackenzie and Cook Craig) and jackhammer rhythms (drumming duo Michael Cavanagh and Eric Moore) barely let up. But it’s also loads of fun.

    For all the exuberant looseness of their recordings, most remain essentially song-based, skilfully produced and slyly focused.

    A whole album at 100 mph needs skill at the wheel not to start sounding slow, and for all the sensation of manic burn-out, every track has disciplined intricacy, using hairpin turns and jolting tape-slices to sculpt the gush of drums and feedback into prog-garage shape.

By far one of my favorite albums of 2016. I must say, I've always wanted to listen to King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard, but I never knew what to start with, and I think it's safe to say I plan on listening to their whole discography now. I'm just really damn impressed by this album, I love it.… Expand

I will say that theThis review is coming from someone who has only heard this album as of now, so don't expect comparisons to previous works. I will say that the album possesses a unique idea of how albums can flow - the music doesn't stop. There are no gaps. The album also possesses a certain musical consistency; the repeated "Nonagon Infinity opens the door" line and pattern, the guitar track from "Gemma Knife" becomes the vocal track in "People Vultures". Hopefully other artists will take the non-stop musicality of the album and work wonders with it.… Expand
