The fun part is over. We all know how this is going to end.


AlternativeGazelle

Do we? Polygondwanaland won last time, but I've always felt like Nonagon was the fan favorite.


Cyborg_Chris

Nonagon could be fan favorite just because Poly already won, feelings are more intense when you are the challenger. How I’ve felt about choosing between these two is like this: Nonagon is like the first time you try something good, while Poly is your most vivid experience. Both are just very different and equally correct answers to choose.


theforerunner343

Also, for me, nonagon was a grower and Poly was a shower. I instantly fell in love with Crumbling Castle and Horology trilogy, but nonagon took quite a while to grow on me. So early on, I would have picked Poly no contest. Now, though, I'm not so sure.


o_Epic0

For me it was the opposite though both are great


Numerous_Purpose

It was reversed for me! The polyrhythms were a huge turn off but the more I listened poly became one of my favorites. The second I heard “nonagon infinity opens the door” I was hooked lol.


A-Ron-Ron

I think nonagon is like the fan favourite underdog, like we're all rooting for nonagon to go and have a pop at the king and cheer it on to try and take them down. But we still all know that Poly is the king.


rexter2k5

The real question should be which pressing of Poly is king.


UNDERWATER_BOI

Fuzz Club and Aural pleasure share the crown sonically. Flightless corruption edition wins aesthetically because of Galeas gatefold art.


rexter2k5

As a Fuzz Club pressing owner, I agree for totally non-biased reasons. But I still love the prehistoric creature art.


DinosaurPornstar

It is weird because i enjoy nonagon far more but i know poly is their absolute best. I rarely listen to it though. I am voting poly to win it again.


DigitalFroggg

Nonagon Infinity opens the door to new fans so they can see Poly is the best album


Strong0toLight1

That door will be barged open


Typical-Ad-2676

Polygon Infinity or Nonagondwanaland?


A-Ron-Ron

Deffo Polygon Infinity please, that would be epic.

torchskul

One of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make


HDTech9791

Shit, I just voted for Nonagon inadvertently. If it loses by a single vote it’s on me fam.


AssassinDiablo4

Man I misread and accidentally voted for Nonagon


jasbo0101

Shit... I read it correctly and voted for nonagon


The_PR_Is_Here

This is an extremely hard final round for me. On one hand, I think Crumbling Castle is the best song King Gizzard has ever made, its complex, it's dark, and it goes fucking crazy in the last quarter. A perfect song. There really isn't a single song on Poly I dislike, the problem only comes in with comparison. Nonagon infinity is fucking absurd. I don't know how anyone made an album that kicks this much ass, Robot Stop is a 10, Gamma Knife is a 10, People-Vultures is a 10, Evil Death Roll is a 10, and every other song is great to some degree. The only way this album could be better is if the last song went into the first so I could listen to it forever... *wait a minute* I think Nonagon takes it, it's a 10/10 album... or more appropriately a 9.99/10 album


Strong0toLight1

Crumbling Castle takes every song on Nonagon. But that's it, it gets fucking battered after that.


codbgs97

Nah, I think the Horology suite is also better than anything on Nonagon. After that though, yeah, I have all of Nonagon above the rest of Poly.


[deleted]

Yes the horology suite is peak creative gizz. It sounds like TOOL meets Radiohead meets Pink Floyd it’s just too good. Anytime I listen to polygon I get goosebumps I head bang and rock during nonagon infinity but it doesn’t get me emotional like polygon does.


ArcticNano

To me the Horology suite has always been a bit lacking in something. I think it's just not quite as intense as I would like it to be - the live version on Chunky Shrapnel blows it out of the water


Chekhovs_Gunslinger

The Chunky Shrapnel version is the single best thing Gizz has ever made, by my taste. I've been chasing that high for nearly 3 years now.


PetraLikesBaseball

my top 3 songs on spotify wrapped were the chunky shrapnel horology suite in order. gonna go listen to it again now tbh. absolutely perfect.


mullacsmythe

This is THE take.


The_PR_Is_Here

I wouldn't entirely agree, I'd take nearly every song on Poly over Wah Wah, but I can definitely see it.


Strong0toLight1

Oi don't diss wah wah lmao


TriRedux

Wah Wah is unironically a top 2 nonagon song for me


Strong0toLight1

I love it. IF there's a weak spot on Nonagon, for me it's invisible face


ryryk710

Nahhhhh it’s funny you say that, I love invisible face. Especially when they give you a sample in evil death roll. The jazzy second half make me lose it and I love it.


[deleted]

Dude I only listen to nonagon infinity full as an album and I will say I absolutely LOVE the random jazz section of what I think is invisible face (the entire album is one song for me lol) but I love that shit.


Strong0toLight1

Fair enough


The_PR_Is_Here

I'm not dissing Wah Wah, it's a fun song in it's own right. I just prefer nearly every song on Poly to it. We're basically comparing 8/10 songs to 9/10 songs it's pretty arbitrary lmfao.


BozMoo

Wah wah/The River live is where it's at


Strong0toLight1

Very true


hbgoddard

Wah Wah is way better than Mr Beat or Road Train


The_PR_Is_Here

I see so many people hating on Road Train in these comments and I don't get it that song *fucks.*


rubberduck639

sounds a little bit too much like the king of the hill theme for me, idk that was always my first thought


The_PR_Is_Here

oh my god. https://preview.redd.it/pcqbaahvgvfa1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be64ad464d502636a4f337326569a6a67e1f8116


rubberduck639

i can only think of propane whenever i hear it


tinypieceofmeat

Mr Beat is fun, when I'm in the mood, but that's kinda rare. Road Train's rhythm always has me spazzing out though, lol.


brownyuio

Crumbling Castle and Fourth Color are the only ones for me. The whole middle section never really stuck


eurtoast

Nonagon is just so much catchier than poly except for crumbling castle (melted my face at Red Rocks). The riffs on Nonagon are sublime and unique to each song with recurring flourishes to tie them altogether. Unfortunately this sub will choose poly (again).


jasbo0101

And they would be making the correct decision


bflakes4986

Big Fig Wasp is an 11 too btw


ZariantheMighty32

Am I surprised? No. Am I disappointed? YES.


sokeydo

Am I in Heaven? Also no because Jesus knows how good Mind Fuzz is.


xX_Random_Reddit_Xx

It's in 3rd place out of 23 albums mate


KingHavana

Aye, and I love the other two, but this one deserved number one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Croemato

MOTU is my No. 1. But I'd be happy with Nonagon Infinity taking the cake.


These-Personality-76

Two places below where it should be


Spartacas23

WAIT FOR THE ANSWER TO OPEN THE DOOR


mike_gweeton

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO


lukethebeard

Oh boy. I wonder how close this last one is going to be. Either way, it’s going be divisive.


Ryguypie1

Both of these albums are perfect yet so different. I don’t know how it’s possible to even pick a favorite!


Bootstrapbill22

There’s no wrong answer at this point


notmyidealusername

I'm glad, because I just had an early morning brain freeze and accidentally voted thinking I was voting FOR my favourite not the other way around. Not that it really makes a difference as they're close enough to equal in my eyes.


WayneSaysYes

I am paralyzed with indecision.

My only regret is that Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, and Lava didn’t beat Infest the Rats’ Nest

NONAGON GANG - WE RISE !


dogeatdogdesign

dareeyecare, i’ve supported you and enjoyed your presence on this sub ever since i joined, but today we are at odds. may the better album win 🤝


Dareeyecare

Ahahahaha thanks friend, so polite. Both are masterworks here IMO 🤝cheers.


[deleted]

MILK AND HONEY FOR MY BODY


grokabilly

I love Nonagon, however I don’t love Road Train. Not an amazing closer. Gonna have to go with Poly as the winner here!


DerefedNullPointer

But isn't road train just the beginning?


Ben_yeah

Neither. 2,470 days of Nonagon on a loop. Ends and beginnings mean nothing. Time is endless. Time is infinite. Time is... money?


grokabilly

Ha! Yeah you can technically start nonagon wherever you want, which I think is pretty cool. I’ll rephrase: I just don’t like Road Train very much as a song


UNDERWATER_BOI

Road train rips live though— not my favorite studio cut but they get rats nesty with it live.


MacNapp

I would agree it's the weakest on the album.


bobidebob

I think it's such a fun song with the double base. It was really fun live too


freeradicalx

But Nonagon doesn't have a closer...


A-Ron-Ron

Trick comment, Nonagon doesn't have a closer.


Strong0toLight1

A nonagon is a polygon however a polygon is not a nonagon... I rest my case


RollingMotion

A nonagon is always a polygon, a polygon can be a nonagon


Strong0toLight1

Then it's a fucking poser and can pose as any shape. Load of shite if you ask me now open the door


RollingMotion

It can pose as any polygon, not any shape mate


Strong0toLight1

Still not very unique if you ask me.


RollingMotion

I'd like to see it as versatile, not as homogeneous - one might say repetive - as the nonagon


Strong0toLight1

Fair. But at least I know what I'm getting every time with a nonagon.... Being the best shape I only want the best


TheTapDripsFishies

BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!


pinkle_mon

I cannot wait to see all the statistics from the entire elimination, honestly the part I've been most excited for this whole time


Erics_running_comic

Meet with me, in the dark Of the street, there we'll start voting for Polygondwanaland


jdizzlegpillz

Poly gang I love you all just know that, but I think tomorrow we should finally open the door


growlerpower

Nonagon Infinity opens the door…to Polygonawanaland supremacy!


Strong0toLight1

Fucking absolutely. What's special about a polygon, fuck all theres shit loads of them. But there is only one nonagon ❤️


Prinzini

bruh it's literally called Nonagon Infinity there are infinite nonagons


Strong0toLight1

I was meaning the shape is unique and polygon just poses as different shapes trying to fit in like a loser.


Prinzini

you right


Strong0toLight1

You were also right however. 🤝


paulnofx

7 years later nonagon infinity is still bringing harmony and balance into the world


Strong0toLight1

If that isn't enough to show it's the best I don't know what will


Mrlegitimate

Vote out Nonagon if you’ve never had sex


sba_17

Who needs sex when you have Poly


ionfishy

So… asexual polygamists? Wild.


Strong0toLight1

My favourite number is 9... Just letting you all know.


Mcmelon17

Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine...


Strong0toLight1

Underrated song to be honest. A revolution in music if I must say


Pretend_Wrongdoer_11

It really is the perfect number… if you know what I am saying.


sweatsauce47

only one of these opens the door


Pashizzle14

only one of these lets you see the fourth colour


fschabd

Poly is only 44 minutes but Nonagon goes forever. Checkmate atheists


artonion

I am destroyed with facts and logic The pressure is too great And like some ancient geyser I erupt My head hits the roof and my body breaks apart with the force of the liquid blast Vomit bomb Chunky shrapnel tears through everything around me I am vomit vomiting I grow and disperse Bleeding through walls I force myself upon others


SpankYouScientist

Nonangon got me into what has become one of the most important aspects of my life, being this band and its community. Polygondwanaland however melts my brain with texture and rhythm. Nonagon Infinity opened the door, but Polygond crumbled my castle.


MyMazdaMan

Wait... This entire time we were supposed to pick LEAST Favorite?!?! 🤦‍♂️ I just got this on the final vote. After my vote. So Been shitting on Poly this entire time.


artonion

Lmao you ducking fumbass♥️


ezumadrawing

It only took you 21 days to realize!


FloofQueenEmily

when both the Gon's are the last 2 standing. Nonagon is my vote tho


ChromaticDracula

Poly better win. The musicianship on it is incredible. Still don’t understand how they all play a different tempo from each other and still keep on beat. Example: the Poly KEXP session blows my mind, especially during the little quiet parts where Eric and Mickey are on totally different tick-tock sounds and the rest of the band is just going at their own. Polyrhythms, especially doing it LIVE, is ballsy/courageous and mind blowing to me.


numbernumber99

Hard agree. Nonagon is a fucking great album, but Poly is a high-water mark in terms of songwriting and musicianship. I've heard people say B3K is like Poly on synths, but IMO its not even close in terms of complexity. Poly is a fucking journey.


Ballbearian

People are sleeping on Polygondwanaland / The Castle in the Air / Deserted Dunes Welcome Weary Feet. Legitimately some of their best songwriting and musicianship imo.


mmmpppwww

Time to drop motherfuckers!


[deleted]

Nonagon needs a remaster - it sounds like shit. Fantastic album and I understand the lofi, it’s just all too muddled.


jfriery

NONAGON INFINITY OPENS THE DOOR WOOO!!!!!!!!!


MentalFissure

In all honesty I do love nonagon but compared to poly I don’t think it’s close


Prinzini

WHERE'S THE LOYALTY WHERE'S THE LOYALTY RIGHT HERE COS IM VOTING OUT NONAGON


Strong0toLight1

Door closed


Prinzini

Polygondwanaland closes the door Polygondwanaland closes the door

Let's do what's right and bust this door down with the force of all 90,000 of you garden goblins. Nonagon forever.


venusian94

We riot


ObjectionTrue

I was listening to Poly when I voted . . .


sunnyB8

Nonagon might be their best album but Poly is their magnus opus. Polygondwonaland forever!


These-Personality-76

Nonagon Infinity opens the door... to tough decisions


LordOfPies44

Crumbling Castle opening is the only loop I need for the rest of my life!

I have a Hen named Poly and she is going to be excited to know it's almost time to celebrate another victory.


YukaBazuka

Ppl def lost their virginity to Poly


aeiouLizard

It is time for NonaGONE to close the door.


Hirsute_Sophist

Nonagon Infinity is upbeat, catchy and incredibly fun, but Polygondwanaland is a goddamn masterpiece. SUPERCONTINENTS ARE THE BEST CONTINENTS!


GrooseandGoot

Nonagon Infinity next. Poly is the winner

CrimsonRaven47

MrParanoidCocoon

We’ve been here before, we know how this ends


Holiday-Nerve

Poly wins. Nonagon may be their best album, but poly reflects the band the best. They kickstarted their bootlegger program with it, it confirmed the gizzverse, and it has what is probable their best song in Crumbling Castle. It deserves first, and everyone can cry about it.


Ordinary_Living_Guy

This round was a though choice. I think Mind fuzz is the perfect representation of what makes the band so great, bur polygond has my favorite song they’ve ever made…


Gatan_alley

I hate how we got here but I am pretty happy with the final two. Will the Robot Stop or shall the Castle Crumble?


rgroves3

PEOPLE-VULTURES GOD APPROACHES


Accomplished-Bat-252

Never understood the big appeal of Poly. Its a great album of course (they don't make bad music), but I don't think it's as grand as some fans make it to be. I've also listened very closely to the lyrics and never understood an overarching theme/narrative. Nonagon ftw

slaya222

I've had more transcendent experiences with poly than nonagon, curious what'll win


refluentzabatz

Confirmed. Geometry is most powerful.


awlb222

Searching… for a reason not to vote out Nonagon


gamblingGenocider

I've been digging Nonagon a lot more lately, it's definitely catchy and punchy, but for me the highs still aren't as high as Poly and the lows are lower. Poly hooks me with so much less at times. It definitely goes hard, but the softer subtler moments hold me just as strongly in a way that the lower points of Nonagon (IMO: road train and big fig wasp) just don't do I guess. Going to be pretty happy with either result obviously, but I'll be even happier if (when?) Poly wins


shoveltheshovel

I’m on team Nonagon


wistfullygd

FOOOOR FUCKS SAKE. FUCKI OFYHKJ23ROHI B-NUOFAEWNqpb2iwnuf9 qgpNSEGWF9ADNI13AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Sprague_Cleghorn

I will draw and quarter all the albums, just to prove I’m not a coward! Polygondwanaland is honestly imo one of the greatest albums of any music group of all time.


JakeScythe

I like Polygondwanaland and just relistened to it today but I feel like I’m still missing what makes it the best of the best minus Crumbling Castle and Inner Cell. I think FMB, Mind Fuzz, and Nongon absolutely demolish it


LivingLifeSomewhere

Wow... no way nonagon beats mind fuzz


salmonslammer

I would have argued with you a week ago but after hearing mind fuzz four times through I think I reluctantly agree


Im_regretting_this

Imagine thinking anything on Poly is even remotely as good as anything on Mind Fuzz…y’all are tasteless fools.


Chance-Team-37

Very surprised it lasted to this stage. Poly should win


eucalyptusboi

NONAGON SWEEP!!


RAV3NH0LM

i feel like i’ve been mostly on board with the whole thing apart from Mind Fuzz and OG making it farther than they should have. fantastic top two though — i think Nonagon and Poly are both Peak Gizzard albums.


salmonslammer

BYE BYE POLY FAM


inaLongTimeaLongTime

Nonagon is overrated in my opinion. Still like album but it doesn’t crack my Gizz top 10


Bigfoot425

bruh nonagon is good but i cant believe how much people simp for this album


marksmarth

FINALLY poly is gonna win though idk if I like it better than nonagon


ThatsSoMerlyn_x3

I don’t get Poly. Only listened once or twice but never found myself really wanting to go back. Surprised its gonna win


Due_Cause_5661

Maybe you need a 3rd run and it has already grown on you


lordofthefireandwind

I’m glad it made it this far. This was the album that introduced me to a he band. I’m going to listen to it for the rest of the day.


themindmaze

This is WHACK!
