The Slow Rush (studio album) by Tame Impala

Actually prefer this over currents - much tighter production and he got rid of that god-awful snare, and while it arguably might not be objectively "better" due to lack of standout hits, it feels like a more mature and focussed offering. He really hits home with what he's trying to do - a tight psychedelic pop album to shut up and party to.

Standouts: Breathe Deeper

Impala´s first non-essential release

Although not quite as good as the last two albums this is still a very strong release I found only the last few tracks to drop in quality a little , the rest was typical brilliance by Kevin Parker , blast this one out in the car on the way to work you won't be disappointed

This album gets a lot of bad rep because of expectations, but I think it's really enjoyable. I liked it back when it came out, and I still like it a lot 3 years in. "One More Year" is easily one of my favorite Tame Impala songs, even though people here don't seem to like it. "Borderline", "Lost In Yesterday", "Breathe Deeper" and especially "It Might Be Time", are some amazing pop bangers. "Posthumous Forgiveness" is a slow burner, and I wouldn't ask for a better ending than "One More Hour", a song, that just like in his previous work, takes a while to get there, but the payoff is amazing, at least for me.

I hope this album gets a s l o w turnaround in reception. I admit it isn't his best, and actually, it may be his worst album to date, but to me, that still makes it a pretty great record.

I’ve given this one time to settle. It’s good but it’s not a classic like his previous albums. It’s a bit harsh to expect classics on every release but he definitely hasn’t let us down too much. Very easy to listen to without making you nod knowingly at his genius.

I kinda liked this. Very accessible 2020's pop.

Another great album, probably their catchiest record. Breathe Deeper is probably my favourite Tame Impala song. Lost In Yesterday and Borderline are also great.

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

For me Tame Impala Was the Best band of the lastdecade, but with this Kevin low into a little more Pop escene, this is not a bad album and he is going to improve his pop sound in the next one i know

Glad I finally listened to some Tame Impala! I imagine this isn't their best album and that I probably should've started with Lonerism, but I now know that they're pretty good and am definitely going to listen to more.
