I agree as well. It’s just very.. passionless, like they’re having fun but not really trying to write good songs or push any boundaries sound/genre wise. I find Viagra Boys a much better and more interesting newer band, and Glow On by Turnstile is better and more memorable than KGATLW’s entire discography IMO.

You’re right on the fact that most big movers in alt rock today are influenced by QOTSA, including King Gizzard. These people are on drugs if they think fast food psych rock band King Gizzard is a better band. the way people are going mental for this band is honestly fascinating to me. They’re the new Tool.

What a shit take lmao. QOTSA’s individual albums have more songwriting chops and passion than King Gizzards bloated discography, they’re pretty damn successful because of the songwriting. I think the fact that every major player in the industry respects Josh and QOTSA says a lot, a lot of them respect King Gizzard as well. Neither are “awful”, that’s objectively bullshit.

You know what, I absolutely agree with you and I’m glad someone else feels the same way. People try to defend the “it’s not quantity over quality” argument but it never holds up, they put out way too much music and the songwriting is very mediocre. I always say if fans are craving and needing new stuff every year then it’s kind of obvious they aren’t making impactful stuff. I’ve tried getting into them many times but I couldn’t name a song if I heard it if I tried, zero hooks or catchy melodys, the guitar parts sound the same most of the time and like you said they do shallow takes of different genres. I think they’re fun and I’m glad they’re successful, but they’re way too hyped up for a band that sounds like the average Bandcamp college band. They’re essentially a jam band, and that’s not my thing so maybe that’s it and they are great in that regard.. but idk, I’m more into great lasting songwriting and stuff that’s been worked on detail to detail for awhile and feels like passion went into it instead of just a throwing shit together real quick.
