A definite crowning achievement for King Gizzard. It's amazing to me that they are able to tap into such complexity and math-like song structures and rhythms while still maintaining incredible listenability. These songs are both very hard to pin down but also hypnotic and grooving. I will be interested to see when their career is over and we have like 146 albums to choose from, how near the top Polygondwanaland remains. If I had to guess, it would be near the very top, if not at the very top itself. "Crumbling Castle" and the "Horology" suite among the album's many stunning standouts.
