ROAD TRAIN

[The Nal]

Newie is loud stuff. Amazing to think its the same band who did Paper Mache Dream Balloon

[JSmurphy]

Genuinely will be looking at their setlists on every date until their UK shows. 63 different songs across 8 Aus dates which is insane. 5 words:

 

T H E  G R E A T  C H A I N  O F  B E I N G  

[JSmurphy]

I slept on Gumboot Soup when it came out. I can't get enough of it recently. I'd absolutely love to see Superposition get its live debut at some point. 

[FuzzyDunlop]

About to dive into the new album.... hoping the Victoria Warehouse gig is "Fishing for Fishies" heavy.

[JSmurphy]

thrash metal eco-warrior masterpiece bois

[FloorFiller]

New album is an absolute thrash ripper. Heavy Gizz is my favourite Gizz so will be playing this one to death I’m sure.

[Wooderson]

Its another monster.

I bought a Warehouse ticket because I dunno the next time they'll be touring just after releasing a thrash album and I can't miss them ripping up a heavy set. 

So hopefully one of us gets what we're after!

Tbh, I will be happy either way. I think Fishing for Fishies is a really strong album & Id like to hear a lot of it live

[JSmurphy]

The perfect picture doesn't exi-

Yeah fair, I can see a lot of fishies getting a go on other tours, I just wanted to make sure I caught them at peak thrash (even if I have to put up with viccy shitehouse).

 

Album's great anyway. Been a weird week alternating between it, Oh Sees latest and Slipknot's new one.

[Quark]

Listening to the new one now. Fuck me it's a bit of alright.

I need to give that bash... I will give that a go tonight.

He is Bob. Eager for fun.
He wears a smile. Everybody run!

[The Nal]

Now the dust has settled the reviews are fair enough I think. 3/5, 7/10 and so on. Decent enough but far from their best.

Yeah I'm willing to accept that I'm viewing this through an excited that king gizz have done a thrash metal album eye rather than completely objectively. I do love it though.

[Wooderson]

Maybe not as good as Nonagon or Polygon but far from their worst. For me at least its in the top 3 or 4 of their 15 records. So one of their best.

[JSmurphy]

I'd say my top 5 right now is Polygon, Nonagon, Gumboot, Microtonal, Paper Mâché.

[The Nal]

From what I remember - Nonagon, Sketches, Flying Banana, Gumboot, Polygon, Fishing, Microtonal, Paper Mache, Gumboot all enjoyed more. Although Id have to go back and listen to a lot of them (they've so many!) the new one is a bit Spinal Tap.

[FuzzyDunlop]

I like this new one, but I really liked the vibe on Fishing for Fishes.

Top 5

Nonagon, Fishing, Oddiments, Quarters, Im in your mind Fuzz.

The newie is fun, its not their best but a couple of the ones you name here are snoozers. Sketches for example.
