The first chapter, The Tale of the Altered Beast, explores themes of temptation and tells of a human who stumbles on a mystical human/beast hybrid dubbed the Altered Beast. The story starts with the pursuit of the human being, who slowly takes an interest in the idea of being altered – something considered taboo in the human's society. The perspective then changes to the Altered Beast itself, who is filled with murderous intentions. Confronted by the Beast, the human experiences a craving for power and slowly succumbs to the temptation of becoming altered. Accepting their mutual fate, the beast and human merge, creating a newly altered beast, who now craves even more flesh. However, the Altered Beast suffers greatly from absorbing another consciousness – it loses track of its identity and eventually dies of insanity, decaying into the earth.
The second chapter, The Lord of Lightning vs. Balrog, focuses on a big battle between two entities dubbed The Lord of Lightning and Balrog, who represent the forces of light of darkness, respectively. The chapter starts with a foreword from the perspective of a storyteller who recalls the battle. The action begins with the track "The Lord of Lightning," which is about the general destruction caused in a town by lightning fired from the entity's finger. He is perceived as evil and malevolent by the townsfolk. However, when he fires lightning at a corpse, it is somehow reanimated as a creature known as Balrog. This creature chooses to ignore the Lord of Lightning, and instead wreaks further havoc on the townspeople. The Lord chooses to fight the Balrog and confronts him, eventually leaving him as a burning corpse. The Lord of Lightning immediately departs, choosing not to harm the townsfolk anymore.
The third and final chapter, Han-Tyumi & The Murder of the Universe, is about a cyborg in a digital world who gains consciousness and, in confusion, decides to strive only for what a cyborg cannot do: vomit and die. He decides to create a creature dubbed the "Soy-Protein Munt Machine" whose only purpose is to vomit. When the creature rejects his love, Han-Tyumi decides to merge with the machine, which causes it to lose control. This machine explodes and infinitely expels vomit, which eventually engulfs the entire universe: and so the universe is murdered.

It’s good to know that this board consists almost exclusively of a ton of nerds.

I've never understood the appeal of GBV, sorry tweet.
I at least like two of the KG albums, so that was an easy choice for me.

seen both several times live and are both are always fun.
like the recent gizzard output more than GBV but that's not to say GBV's output is bad.
i didnt understand why these 2 were being compared but it's actually a pretty close call for me. went with gizz, if only to spite avb's hatred for tolkien

Alien Lanes/Propeller/Bee Thousand > all of King Gizz material. Especially Alien Lanes. Nothing by the Gizz even comes close. GBV may not be as good (album wise) as Gizz at the moment, but the classics speak for themselves imo.

I think I've become jaded growing up in Ohio because the douchiest people here love GBV. Their music is fine, but the Ohio GBV fans are terrible. Like, Dayton jocks jerk off to GBV.

GBV because I like Brit pop garage rock better than prog rock concept albums.

Don't worry there are lots of people upsetting me today.
You should probably put Bee Thousand on at some point though
