It is also miles better than ‘Innerspeaker’, and quite possibly the best album released so far this year.
It's perhaps not quite as mesmerising as Tame Impala, but it's got some undeniably good tracks that can stick in the listener's head with enough plays.

It’s not to say it hasn’t got its detriments, but the vast majority of this album is very good.
