u remeber those guys, and like, worked like crazy, rode a fire beatle.Д«ut heres one thing that i really liked about it and i moderately like about AOW2 and hated in AOW (sicne there cities could not grow) They even had a race that was suspeciously similar to one of the MOO (Master of Orion) races. i mis having another dimention to travel to, undeground just isnt the same) Notice also, that almost all the races that apear in AOW2 were originaly in MOM, the draconians were in MOM, they did have some extras, and the didnt have the tigrans of frostlings, but they did have some serious racial competition, they even had a drac mage. thats where he belongs, thats where he has the most power. there ur wizard was couped up in a tower, in AOW he was a freaking happy go getter with godly skillz (if u leveled him properly), now in AOW2 ur wizard iz in his rightful place, the tower. namely, a direct descendant of MOM, thats right, Master of Magic. This derivative treatment of blues-rock makes the album one of the bandвЂ™s most accessible to date, but devoid of their trademark absurdities (eerie soliloquys, road burn-inducing walls of sound, and jigsaw-like song structures), whatвЂ™s left is arid and unmemorable.OK, I think that AOW2 is actually comming back to what AOW was supposed to be, and wasnt. вЂњPlastic BoogieвЂќ and вЂњThe Cruel MillennialвЂќ sound like discarded B-sides from ZZ Top and Ten Years After, respectively. вЂњDeath will come from plastic/Death will come from people,вЂќ singer Stu Mackenzie chants on вЂњPlastic BoogieвЂќ as a crowd claps and cheers over a blazing guitar lick.ДЇor all of its attempts at unconventionality, though, Fishing for Fishies fails to yield anything truly novel within the scope of blues-rock. The вЂњboogieвЂќ motif that threads through the album juxtaposes the celebration and dance of boogie music with sobering lyrics. They underpin this subject matter with muddy blues guitar, intensifying the sense of doom by emulating the jeremiads of the blues traditions, and with shuffle boogie rhythms. The band amplifies the perils of our world, envisaging an apocalyptic landscape marked by plastic-choked oceans, wildlife extinction, and millennials deprived of meaningful human interaction. But whereas the bandвЂ™s most successful forays into genre-bending benefited from their delight in warping styles out of shape, Fishing for Fishies suffers from by-the-book derivations and a shortage of their usual oddball instincts.ДЄs the albumвЂ™s cover of a cartoon robot fishing in a hellish lake of fire suggests, King GizzardвЂ™s main concern is environmental and social degradation in the digital age.

Purveyors of sludge-heavy psych-rock and tongue-in-cheek wordplay, the Australian seven-piece is prone to trying different genres, like surf rock, stoner metal, and jazz, before then pulling them apart at the seams. ThereвЂ™s something gleefully bizarre about King Gizzard & the Lizard WizardвЂ™s pairing of lyrics about environmental doom with spirited blues rock on Fishing for Fishies.
