Tame Impala - The Slow Rush

as is "posthumous forgiveness" (heavy synthesizer drama) and "breathe deeper" (banger) and "tomorrow's dust" (the drums are really good)

maybe i like it because i have a sinus infection right now

but i'm pretty sure this album rules

sick groove

I'm liking this a bit more than I expected, since I've also been pretty cold on everything after Lonerism. I think I would like it better with a different vocalist/less banal lyrical approach. triggercut is pretty much OTM

breathe deeper is the only track i viscerally disliked, tho it does improve about 1 minute in when he changes it up from that annoying melody.

failing to see what's bland or garageband-y about the arrangement of "it might be time"

i think this one will be a slow burner and get better with each listen. i already knew "Borderline" and "It Might Be Time" and they sound like the standouts so far on this album. it's a bit long but i see myself enjoying this one more than the last one.

i LOVE this album

that "will i be more loved?" part of "borderline" is so funky and i can't get it out of my head

i do too. this is such a great album and didn't think i would like them to go in this direction but now i know it was the right move.

"Borderline", "On Track", and "Is It True" have been sounding great while being confound to my apartment on a beautiful day like today.

Really loving this album! Wasn't expecting to, especially after the savaging it got in The Quietus.

I really enjoyed it too and find it up there with the new Caribou record as my favorite pop/electronic records so far this year. I kinda feel the critical lashing is partly due to the completely ridiculous amount of success Currents got coupled with current climate of "white dude angst" being a bit of an unsympathetic theme these days.

^^^^ really awesome 18-minute remix of "one more year"

I just listen to the drums on this record , they’re fabuloso

I gave this another spin today and it's just not working for me, still. I think the biggest strike for me is how his vocal melodies just constantly float in this same zone without any surprises or any change. There are a few times this swings into a a really cool balearic beat, but then his moaning kicks in and pulls me right back out.

this is a seriously great cover, amazing how well they were able to recreate the sonics of the original in a live setting, while adding some signature tame impala filters. and kevin does a pretty solid impersonation of collins' lead vocal
