Omnium Gatherum by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

Omnium Gatherum, released on 22 April 2022, is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's 20th studio album and their first double, and it is the Melbourne band emptying every drawer in the house. It was also their first studio record since the pandemic began with all six of them playing together live in one room: Stu Mackenzie, Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Cook Craig, Joey Walker, Lucas Harwood and Michael Cavanagh.

You can hear the relief. The thing lurches from woozy psychedelia and prog workouts to heavy metal riffing and glossy synth-pop, and it even finds the band trying their hand at hip hop for the first time. Critics mostly liked it, though they couldn't agree on whether all that length and variety was a feast or just too much.
