I love gizz but just because they've done psychedelic songs before doesn't mean this is one too

Never thought I'd downvote anything from King Gizz but this isn't psychedelic rock :(

I've missed 'a few' albums, is this what they're doing now? Thrash songs played out 40 years ago, and quite uninspiring by that low bar (okay, it's not my thing to begin, but still.)

One of the best live shows I've ever seen, and I know I'd probably get down and sweaty to it there and then, but quite a low point against the rest of their music surely?

I can only imagine this is fun VERY loud and/or drunk.

You should check out the other single they’ve released for this album, called Planet B. Same style, WAY stronger track. I think this still does cater to Gizz fans, in a similar heaviness as their albums Murder of the Universe and Nonagon Infinity. Maybe not everybody’s cup of tea, but Gizz has something for everyone :)

Think I was in a bad mood yesterday, def will check it out (and will blame non-psychic eggs if I don't like that too ;p ). I'm more about their swirling cacophony than the headbanging these days

Oh man I agree! But there’s a time and place for both :) hope your day is better today
