interesting choice with somewhere to elsewhere, I love Icarus II, Distant Vision, Myriad and The Coming Dawn, but most the stuff inbetween falls flat for me

For some reason, just about every song on the album resonates with me.  You're the first person I've ever heard single out Myriad, which is my favorite on the album and one of my favorite Kansas songs overall.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

You're buying these albums just because one person on here listed them? Just because he likes them doesn't mean you will.

^ What are you talking about? of course I will like them. I'm doing this all the time.

Ever heard about the concept of 'trust' between music lovers?

Not really. Lol. If you know the person's taste already I suppose that can make a big difference. Personally, I don't go by just one person's opinion but maybe that's just me. I take it into consideration but I look up reviews and ratings on here as well as rate your music and other sites(DPRP is another one). The second one listed wasn't even rated that highly on RYM(or at least there were two or three others that were rated higher). Best thing is to sample music on youtube first. These days practically everything is on youtube.

I very rarely listen or make exhaustive online research before buying so I must be a sort of dinosaur and, honestly, i'm rarely disappointed and quite often surprised (big part of the fun) when I purchase music this way. I recently ordered three iamthemorning albums with minimal research and without hearing a single note and from what I've read I'm pretty confident I will enjoy this band. In this particular case (king gizzard) it was an easy one given the title of the thread and the fact that I already know them and really enjoyed Sketches of Brunswick East.

The ratings on here can go a long way. Depending on your taste and the subgenre typically anything above a 3.40 or 3.50 is usually at least good but ultimately it's up to the listener and his or her own taste, preferences and musical values. I usually read at least some kind of review before buying whether it's on here or on the site I am buying something. For example on the Kinesis website I usually read the blurb about the cd before buying it. Usually I already know something about the band but not always. It's helpful when sellers do that.

Van der Graaf Generator:

1) Pawn Hearts
2) Godbluff
3) Do Not Disturb (a very underrated album)

Amon Düül 2:

The top three are in my opinion clear, but not which position they have. After a long inner debate:

1) Tanz der Lemminge
2) Yeti
3) Phallus Dei

Guru Guru:

1) Känguru
2) Moshi Moshi
3) Hinten

Gong:

1) You
2) Angel's Egg
3) 2032

Magma:

1) Mëkanďk Dëstruktďẁ Kömmandöh
2) Zëss
3) Magma

Kind of a new deal for me. Works 2 just totally clicked for me; I must be nuts. 
I just dig the clamorous nuttiness, the freakout jazziness, the barroom brawls and oddball short-takes on prog rock busting out of this thing. Even the Christmas tune is cool for nostalgia purposes, hearing it back in the late 80's-early 90's all the time pumping out of the canned "Christmas classics" music-feed from the speakers of the party goods store I worked at as a young lunatic.
I find the album to be a mess, but a glorious, entertaining mess that offers more fun for me than much of their more celebrated (and rather "bloated") 'works'.
