The fifth and final salvo of King Gizzard's 2017 blitz weaves a thread through the rest: the Microtones ring on, Brunswick's smallness peeks through doomy Murder, and we get flashes of Polygonical crush in the middle. They're still a rock-solid band, the best psych-rock band going, but a lot of the same riffs and tones and tricks come up again and again. It's almost a positive, in this space, to bleed together, to build a universe of sprawling dimensions and distant mountains. But by now is just another lap around the head-loll, nothing to snap your neck up, especially since (unfortunately) this is mostly on the lowkey trippy side. Needs more riffs.
Take a breather guys, you made your point, we're duly impressed. Show us something truly mindblowing in 2019 3.5/5
