10 Essential Rock Albums Of The 2010s

9. King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard - Nonagon Infinity

Show of hands kids, how many of you have been cornered at a party by someone - let's assume he's called Theo - who went on to talk incessantly about the superiority of vinyl? Oh, all of you have? What a shocker. Well, next time that happens you can just turn around (why was your back to him?) and throw King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's Nonagon Infinity right in his stupid, smug face. The first album that, thanks to its structure, pretty much demands to be listened to exclusively in digital form.

King Gizzard were already the masters of experimentation and in creating of trippy walls of noise, and Nonagon Infinity is no exception. The album is structured so that every single track flows seamlessly into the next - including the last and first tracks - so it's impossible to discern just how many tracks have played unless you actively check. This creates a glorious psychedelic loop, meaning you could feasibly end up listening to this album for eternity till you expire. Though we don't recommend that.

Johnny sat by the fire, idly swirling his brandy, flicking through the pages of War and Peace, wondering whether it was pretentious to write his bio in the third person.
