tame impala's first full length album is brilliant, the best aussie release for some time. they truly are a long way ahead of most other aussie acts

 

[Spenno_]

Yeah, its a great release. Not many weak songs on the album either. Think they'll garner quite a bit of attention throughout the rest of the year.

Saw them at the forum last friday, these guys know their craft better than most.

was there as well, more impressive that they are still young and could get so much better, once they get a bit tighter they will be great live.

and their album so far is album of the year for me - i love it.

 

[patsmith]

Awesome album, but I think it is let down a bit in its production. I know they are going for the whole 'dreamy' sound, but I think a little more clarity and distinction between instruments could have helped.

Seeing them tomorrow night, should be good!

EDIT: For those who saw them recently, did Nick play rhythm guitar for them? He's the lead singer in a fantastic band here in Perth called Pond, who are incredibly prolific and sort of like a funkier Tame.

Actually heard from quite a few people that they're not too shit hot live tbh.

New stuff sounds great on the album though.

i have seen them twice this year with no complaints, both times i was sitting down so i was able to fully take in all the music with no destractions.

Fair 'nuff. Just relaying what mates said when they saw them.

The shows they saw were last year though, so could have improved I guess?

 

[mansize rooster]

yes there are a few threads now
check out the band 'pond' its got some lads from tame impala

of course, they are still young and its not a easy genre to pull off live so they will have their off nights.

heard a few tracks off it the other day and quite enjoyed it. I might have to pick this up

Gets better the more I listen to it. The start of Bold Arrow of Time is wonderfully Hendrixish.
Expectations and Runway, Houses, City, Clouds the standout tracks for mine.

I've had this song stuck in my head all week.

yep both favorites of mine as well and disapointed that they played all the new album except these two songs

 

[MelbourneCrow]

Great album but I've enjoyed them live even more.

That surprised me. They usually hate Aussie bands.

I must get this album soon.

 

[FIGJAM]

They usually hate Aussie bands.

Usually for good reason!

This is a gem of an album though. Won't be every one's cuppa, but has certainly reignited some musical enjoyment that I thought I put down with my last spliff.

 

[La Dispute]

Will be listening tonight.

Hopefully it is of quality and based on the tracks I've heard I'm certain it will be.

 

[handy point]

Pretty good stuff... kind of like early Floyd crossed with some Krautrock.

Will see how it holds up with repeated listening, but it's one of my favourite albums atm.

 

[La Dispute]

Shit that was cool.

I'm now on the bandwagon.

The Bold Arrow of Time is quite splendid.

 

[Deledinho]

So if Pitchfork like it, does that mean it's shit, or have they got something right for the first time ever?

Srsly though, I like it, good album. Jeremy's Storm is amazing.

pitchfork are usually on the money, the only big exceptions i can think of when they've totally bamboozled me was:

-thier constant hating of the mars volta
-they gave lady gaga a decent rating
-they rated medulla better than vespertine but then preceded to have vespertine in thier top albums of the decade.(for the record vespertine sh1t5 on medulla)


usually though they know music better than most

Been meaning to make a thread on this for a while.
This woman (debateable) is a musical freak. Her ability to make pop hooks is unrivalled. I don't like the music, but I can appreciate someone who is an absolute master at her craft.
Gaga haters be damned.
