Feb 24, 2017While not as driven as their previous project Nonagon Infinity, Flying Mictrotonal Banana is an ambitious album. The album is packed full of interesting sounds and strange melodies. The progressive/experimental sound of this album is worth checking out for both new and old KGATLW listeners.

Mar 1, 2017While i don't quite get the "microtuned guitars" thing, it seems a bit gimmicky, King Gizzard rocks hard on this album. Their secret weapon remains the double drummers that keep things swinging throughout. The green vinyl is nifty too.

Nov 13, 2017This mind-blowing experience is highlighted by the oddly brilliant combination of microtonality, staggering timbral fusions, and remarkable psychedelic rock character, possibly giving these wonderfully layered songs their own place in music history. My Score: 153/180 (Great) = 8.5/10

Mar 6, 2018Difícilmente lo tenían los Asutralianos para hacerse destacar y sorprendernos con algo diferente e innovador después de sacar ese tan maravilloso "Nonagon infinity" y mas publicando 5 albumes en el mismo año. Pero aún con esas, han sabido buscar nuevas direcciones para elaborar un proyecto fresco y experimental.
-Lo mejor: Melting, Open Water, Nuclear Fusion, Billabong Valey. -

Oct 16, 2020Ä Psychedelic experience with arabic tunes and heavy riffs. An excelent experimental album going completely outside the mainstream.

Apr 12, 2017For such an experimental concept, Flying Microtonal Banana still finds a box of safety and doesn’t try to get out of it too much.

Mar 1, 2017Flying Microtonal Banana is essentially the same King Gizzard album from last year, updated for the sake of its own consequence. But it's also better than most other albums of its sort, specifically because King Gizzard appear able to coherently piece together a fun anthem with a sense of musical direction.

Feb 27, 2017Their homemade studio occasionally shows its flaws, but this is simultaneously heartening. King Gizzard are easy to forgive and fun to like, showing that it’s more than a record about reliving psychedelic music’s prototypes.
