Rated 9/10
One of their weirdest albums that informs a lot of their history.
Rated 8/10
King Gizzard make a attempt at a prog album, and the end result is pretty damn good. The album has great flow to a point where it's hard to tell where one song ends and another begins, despite having clearly defined ends. Despite most prog being mired in wankery and overt seriousness, KG also manage to make it really fun. There's a strong spacey vibe to the album that gives the songs a bit more room to breathe and helps make it a more relaxing listen despite the polyrhythms and technicality on display. Good stuff!
Should it be on the list: KG&tLW definitely need one album, personally I'd opt for Nonagon Infinity, but I don't have anything against Polygondwanaland being included.
Top 3 songs: Crumbling Castle, Loyalty, The Fourth Colour
Rated 10/10
This is much more to my taste than Nonagon Infinity. Up there with KGLW's best. Five stars.

Rated 8/10
This was good, but doesn't rise to the high of nonogon or king crimson album, still a very fun ride.
Rated 8/10

Rated 10/10
Best album ever.
Rated 10/10
This one really shows off one of their biggest strengths as a band: being huge music theory nerds. It's something that shows up in most of their music, but this album goes all-in on the polyrhythm theme, making it probably one of the better entry points to pitch someone on them. I think it's the most intellectual out of their albums in that way—feels way more composed and way less jammy than their usual speed
Rated 10/10
YESSSSS KING GIZZZZZZ. Such a fun time bendy album.
Rated 6/10
Frustrating that KG removed all their music from Spotify. Though don’t disagree with their actions just means I won’t bother listening it today and rate it on previous listened.
This is a good album within their discography, not one of my personal favourites, but with a band with so many records it’s hard to pick a top 5.
I sometimes do wonder if they would be better if they had a bit more focus on quality over quantity, but then their volume of output is what makes them stand out from the crowd.
Overall though there is definitely room for a few KG albums on this list.
