King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard – Nonagon Infinity

Legit sounds like someone recorded it off their iPhone 8. I thought it was a bootlegged when first played.

LOVE THE WAY THEY MADE THE CONCEPT WORK ON VINYL 🖤🖤🖤🖤 KICKASS.

The pressing has no issues (noise etc) and the color is great. When I first listened it felt weird, indeed like a brick/wall of sound at some points. But I got used to it - and as others say this is probably (and hopefully) intentional.

This is a disappointment. The vinyl sounds appreciably worse than the digital versions. Very muddy and flat. Don't kid yourself that it's just how this was meant to be. It's bad LP mastering.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MANY OF THIS VARIANT WERE RELEASED ????
I HAVE BEEN TOLD 500 BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THAT IS CORRECT.

People are saying that this record sounds bad, but I am certain this is intentional. I have listened to this album on streaming quite a few times and I think this records sounds great! I don’t have any surface noise problems and the music sounds excellent. It’s a bit muffled because that’s how the album was recorded, it was a choice by the band to do that. I would definitely recommend this pressing if you want this album on vinyl, Optimal Media have released a great pressing once again!

While I agree with the other review on here that this pressing sounds absolutely terrible, I just can't bring myself to like it.
I love King Gizz, and I love this album, but this record is truly awful. Matter of fact it's unlistenable. It sounds like you're in a pool of water, and the band is performing in an underground room beneath the pool.

I don't know a whole lot about this pressing but I can't imagine this was a stylistic choice. It's one thing to add purposeful distortion to a track or two but it's another to produce such a muffled mess. I've heard there was some mishap with the mastering process but if that's true and they knew that, why not try and rectify it? I mean seriously, this is the worst record I've ever heard. Did no one on the production team listen to it before they made thousands of copies?

It's just disappointing because I also own Flying Microtonal Banana on wax and that album sounds fine. Good, even.

I would say, if you like this album, and want a physical copy of it, try and find a CD in the hopes that that will sound okay. If not, just stream it. Seriously. Do not waste your money. It's a one and done record, after hearing it once it'll go back on the shelf, never to be played again.

My copy matches this one. The only difference is that has a black and white hyper sticker on the shrinkwrap instead of a silver and black one.

Sounds absolutely horrible, like a forgotten Power Rangers VHS tape in your parents’ garage. As intended probably. Love it

In terms of packaging and the color splatter, this is a beautiful release. Nice shiny, gold, embossed lettering of the band’s name on the front.

I’m no audiophile, but to me it sounds great and quiet despite the crazy color pressing.

Album itself is one of Gizzard’s best IMO. Very high tempo and up energy.
