Again a collection of one B-side and a bunch of remixes. Again, I don’t understand why it was released.
"Beverly Laurel" is a fairly average track with Kevin's most overloaded vocals on the entire album. I don't think it can hold more than a couple of auditions (that's why it's a B-side, it seems).
And again I don't find anything interesting in the remixes. They only stretch and add completely unnecessary elements to the originals. I don’t think I’d like the ... read more
Quite unexpectedly and somewhat unpleasant to say this, but Lonerism almost didn't hit me.
Kevin's previous album, Innerspeaker, was a great introduction to the psychedelic rock genre for me, and while some of the tracks were pretty monotonous, overall it's a very high quality work at all levels. And judging by the words of the majority, Tame Impala's next project only develops all the virtues of the debut album. However, apparently not for me.
The main problem with Lonerism for me is that ... read more
The album may well be called a mixture of the group's two previous works. After the commercial failure of Nu-Clear Sounds (which was quite obvious with such a cover), Ash partially returned to the mood of the first album, musically, however, partly moving away from rock and especially Brit-pop.
The work tries to combine fast and energetic compositions with long and melancholic ballads. And again from Ash I choose the first, so "Burn Baby Burn" and "Cherry Bomb" came to my ... read more
Yes, it's basically a bunch of bad and forgettable remixes that have some nice moments, but which completely knock out the tone of the main album without providing anything worthwhile in return.
"Island Walking" is just a "okay" song, serving as a small addition to the atmosphere of the main album. "Canyons Sunrise Reprise" is so long, but significantly inferior in instrumental development compared to, for example, "Runway Houses City Clouds."
So yeah, ... read more
It really feels like a remote beach shack in Western Australia.
Tame Impala makes me gradually fall in love with psychedelia. This is fundamentally different from anything I've heard before and has its own unique vibe at the same time energetic and calm. Most of the tracks are very immersive and at the same time quite varied. Kevin bewitches with the unusual tempo of the verses and choruses, and the instrumental takes the mind to a place that is very distant from everyday scenes. The themes of ... read more
