Writing my review like chatGPT cuz im bored

This album isn't just a concept album, its a journey. It takes the listener through this psychedelic, dreamlike journey across beautiful and thickly produced soundscapes that are enough to make even the tightest of booty cracks tickle. Its one that isnt an easy fit first time round, but those are the best albums some time.

When an album is made it needs 3 things to pass the greatness test (the ligma scale) - good vocals, good songwriting, and good beats. It need to have that airy, wavy atmosphere, the textures need to reverberate and ripple, it needs to be clean unlike the water im using up. This album doesn't just excel at these things, it perfects them.

Tame Impala's voice is soft and never overbears the music, in fact they work together. The chemistry between Kevin and the dream-pop beats isnt just electric, its romantic. I can really see these two becoming friends to lovers in a rom-com movie. Kevin would definitely say "lemme crack" first though on god.

Did you know its just one guy called Kevin Parker by the way how cool the fact it was made by one MAN is unbelievable because usually men can't even keep the hair on their head let alone make good art. Thats why theres a men in disappointMENt, and hopefully the instruMENtals of this album in ME😝🔥

Catching print, I bet that bass line in The Less I Know The Better is packing a demonic 12 incher. The synths sound hot, I hope I'm they're type so they'll want to go out with me. Also kinda freaky on that album cover lowk why that silver globe lookin at me like that. S cup minimum on this album.

At the time critics and fans praised this album for its next level production style and sonic atmosphere. Over 10 years later it is still appreciated and loved and hailed as a classic in pop culture. Tame Impala proves with this album that he is nothing short of a genius, but he is 5'18 so he's extra adorable and fun to poke😛

In short Currents is not only a masterpiece, but its a holy grail of what production is capable of. It manages to take the listener on a journey that transcends music and embodies the otherworldly, and honestly? Its safe to say Currents is pretty frickin sweet!

9.3/10, no water was harmed in the making of this review
