Haven't lurked in a while, how does /mu/ feel about Tame Impala?

>>73957213
We don't feel anything about it at all.

>>73957241
10/10 for thoughtfulness

>>73957213
listened to lonerismism again today after awhile and realized its not all the meme that people say it is

>>73957213
I'm in the minority on /mu/ but currents is one of my all time favorite albums.

Lonerism is great too.

Innerspeaker is good.

>>73957300
Thank you. Seriously, Currents is fucking amazing and I really liked Lonerism and Innerspeaker.

>>73957300
Disciples is the best song

Innerspeaker and Lonerism are top notch psych pop/rock, especially for being made in 2011/12. Currents has a couple good tracks but is mostly shit.

Tame Impala EP is pretty great too just for the fact that it mimics classic psych rock so well. Not as good as the first two albums but leagues better than Currents.

>>73957335
Why is Currents bad for you? Out of curiosity.

>>73957324
goddamn mu is good tonight

>>73957294
What's the meme exactly? Since I'm at work, I'd like to know without searching lol

>>73957347
Droning disco garbage with shit vocals and even worse lyrics. Let It Happen is great, The Less I Know The Better and Cause I'm a Man are good, the rest of the album is completely forgettable except Past Life which is only memorable for being the worst track in their discography.

>>73957466
I don't agree but I'm glad you shared.

How could you forget Love/Paranoia tho

he's pretty good

damn I was just about to post a thread about them. lonerism is a fucking masterpiece

>>73957546
Because it's extremely bland and forgettable. I really hope Kevin sticks to what he does best when he releases his next album.

The last two tracks alone had me like

>>73957213
don't phonepost

>>73957776
why? I'm at work, not going to use their computer.

>>73957787
then wait until you finish work and get home

>>73957799
Didn't explain anything so I'll continue.

>>73957807
>not recognising the cancer that is phoneposting
fucking retard

>>73957213
they sound like a lot of groups that have sounded like that for decades, without really adding anything to the style

bands that amount to a collection of influences usually get slobbered over by indieheads who've never listened to the influences

>>73957826
how does it affect you honestly

>>73957846
it makes me angry

>>73957853
okay well that's your problem, I can't help you. Would you like to contribute to the thread tho

>>73957867
i'm actually contributing to the wider forum by slowly eradicating phoneposting

>>73957876
what difference does it make if a comment was sent from a phone or a computer?

>>73957324
too fucking true

I just wish it was longer

>>73957637
I hope Mark Ronson coproduces the entire next album

>>73957905
all the difference in the world

>>73957836
this

same goes for Radiohead and Animal Collective

>>73957942
So all Radiohead, AC, and Tame Impala are is just a collection of influences with no original contributions to music?

>>73957942
How is Animal Collective not original lol

Name one band that sounds like them

>>73957300
I'm with you, but innerspeaker is better than lonerism.

>>73958106
It's not but it is very close

>>73957934
t. autist who never goes outside

>>73958051
deerhunter... grizzly bear... glass animals...

>>73958121
In all honesty I haven't given lonerism enough of a chance. I'll have to do this.

Currents is literally the only good album Tame Impala has come out with.

idk wtf y'all niggas be trippin on lmao

>>73957942
my man the bands you listen are the inventors of their sound and it s others that rip off of them nice b8 though

>>73957213
I HATE the wanky psych rock from the first few, but I enjoy the pop sensibilities and production on this album quite a bit

>>73958139
youre a dumb for saying deerhunter but i see grizzly a bit

>>73958189
the point is theres a difference between inspiring from others to create something memorable and aggregating influences to create something forgettable

>>73957213
kevin parker is the best producer in rock music right now

>>73957836
could you give me more stuff that sounds like currents and lonerism? would genuinely love to hear more like them but i don't know enough about music to know quickly who is influencing somebody

like obviously i can listen to mind mischief and know that it's psych rock / pop but that's about the extent of my knowledge. i enjoy the grateful dead, who also fall under the psych rock label, but they sound nothing alike

You bet

>>73957213
I always liked them, listened to Lonerism/Innerspeaker endlessly in college, and Currents since its release.
Just found out fairly recently that Tame Impala IS Kevin Parker. Blew my mind that it was a one man show, and no matter what you think of the music you have to admit how much talent you need to create something like this on your own

>>73959685
this is correct

I would like to see him try more rap production in the future

but brand new person is one of their best songs

>>73958144
Dubs confirmed for truth.
