To be fair, late for KGLW can be 12 albums in or 20 albums in. The scale for them is way different. Like they formed after I left highschool and none of them have died. Eric left. Yet their discography is big enough for 5 bands combined.
Yeah, but listening to all of it, you get the sense it’s more 12 albums with 10 fluff pieces around them.
In no timeline am I ever putting Laminated Denim up against IDPLM&L, or Gumboot against Nonagon. Their bar for quality is kinda loopy.
I liked Phantom Island, a good B+ record from them with some of my favorite singles. They’re still an extremely strong band, they sometimes spend 1-3 albums fucking around before making another hit.
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
Edit: that is assuming too late as in “wish I would have been into this band in high school” and not “half the band has died or they are broken up”

That’s the trick though. You will listen to all of Gizzard’s albums. Their highs are so high they get the benefit of the doubt for everything else.
Both.
