Yeah I avoided them for ages coz of their stupid name but gave this record a spin because of this lot banging on about them. Itās a very good record.
Their names still sucks though
avoided King Gizzard for ages before hearing them on 6music and realising i was very very wrong to do so. might look up a couple of LEG singles to see if itās worth it
Very much liking that Mastersystem is getting a lot of love. Very good album
Having conspired to listen to the album in the wrong order, I actually listened to this track first
Oh mateā¦ You donnie doofus
Even if they donāt go on to win it my heart just swelled seeing mastersystem leading atm. Great record, a great band and a great legacy from one of the best songwriters Britain has had and who Iāll always miss
would have really liked to have caught them live. their Quay Sessions set is wonderful
(^ fav song on the album)
despite being his final set of lyrics released they donāt really feel any bleaker than usual to me, but (as with all his albums) there are certain bits here and there that feel a bit heartbreaking now - the verse that really gets me given what happened is this from Waste of Daylight:
I missed the summer, but didnāt care
There will always be another, if I make it to next year
Yeah, as much as I love the record I canāt listen to it too often as still so raw and lines like that really stop you in your tracks
tbh i was the opposite and listened to it repeatedly for quite a while. i went back to all the FR stuff after the news too but the harder edge of the Mastersystem record made it a really cathartic listen for me
I think because it builds with various lines throughout the album and then with it being the final song and if you take it as a metaphor then it sounds like a real resignation especially with the line
āIāve seen all that I care to see
Become what I donāt want to beā and then repeating the song title at the end.
And then the album finishes, Iām sitting in silence alone with my thoughts and my heart is broken all over again.
So have Hookworm run over someone on Disās cat or something?
Shouldnāt it be āSingularityā by Jon Hopkins? Immunity was his previous album.
Basically the same album
Jon Hopkins has dis-plomatic immunity so he can get away with an old entry.
Blew their roof off apparently
I like Hook and the Worms but this tickled me
Yes, it was a mistake and we canāt edit the poll without deleting all of the votes so far, sadly.
Weāre just not as in to this record as previous ones - which won the award. There were about 300 contenders for this list and we went for a range of acts we felt might benefit from a nod to nudge people to listen to their records.
Fair, think itās an impressive album but did enjoy them more as a noisy psych band
I couldnāt agree more. I love this album, but it is such an intimate portrait of a breakdown. So sad
