    This is the musical version of 'Mad Max: Fury Road'. This is definitely something that you have never heard before if you are looking for originality.

    This new album is very original, it's hard to place in a box. It's notable that this band has made eight albums since 2012, yet their sound is not generic or 'been there done that'. A pretty good modern rock album alltoghether

    Woah. It's hard to put this album into words. So I won't. Just listen to it and dance your ass off. Also, make sure to listen to it on repeat. I'm sure Nonagon Infinity will become the new Dark Side in college dorms

    Funny, loud, crunchy, simple yet extremely complex, with hooks everywhere. A great rock album that will keep you dancing in the psych weirdness they've composed.Fans of Thee Oh Sees will surely find it around the same cosmology.

    King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard at their very best. This album rocks hard from start to start. If you like hard guitar riffs and a fast paced sound give this one a listen.

    This review is coming from someone who has only heard this album as of now, so don't expect comparisons to previous works.

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

    I wish I had heard this earlier. 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.

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

    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.

    Nonagon Infinity is overstuffed with so many stomach-tossing thrills that you’ll actually be jonesing to ride the roller-coaster all over again.
