This is what you said.

The band is the definition of 6/10.

So I don't hate them but I never have any circumstance where I'd prefer to listen to them.

Kevin Parker is damnation by faint praise personified. But he's a good producer.

i dont really dislike them or "him" tbqh
i just think that like, 80% of their or "his" music is pretty safe played, generic, and boring, but there are some good jams here and there.
is their fucking fanbase and marketing that tries to portray them or "him" as the fucking ULTIMATE TRIPPY ACID MUSIC RAWK BAND/MANE that makes me mad

It's probably difficult to tell with the deafening roar of the point rushing right over your head, but when you listen to the music, what EXACTLY are the characteristics that are present in modern music that were not present back then?

theyre ok but im just not into psych rock

too boring

>>61471412
>The modern pop funk element is conspicuously missing from 60's psych.
So you're explicitly referring to their most recent album, and not their discography, which is principally lacking in that particular element? How many posts did it take to get to you actually discussing an element of the music outside of terms like 'modern', 'new', and 'different'?

However, the integration of 80s pop with 60s pop is not innovative or new, so once again I find myself wondering exactly is innovative about Tame Impala

>I reiterated my point in a simplistic way because you had trouble understanding it.

case and point. It's pop music but since you dislike that crowd you keep calling it "rock" this is why tame impala still hasn't reached the audience that needs their music because of elitist people like you. tame impala needs to dominate top 40 and change pop music forever, they're the modern day beatles

Sonically they're the most interesting straight up pop/rock band I've ever heard.

Their new album is part of their discography you moron.

>However, the integration of 80s pop with 60s pop is not innovative or new

So you admit that it is different from 60's psych. Anon this is going to work out much better for you if you stop being condescending while simultaneously being wrong.

>>61471530
? I'm not elitist. I like Tame Impala a lot and I also like pop music. Tame Impala is rock music but it is also pop. You can't say it's not rock music because it's popular.

This is why I can barely hold a conversation with you. You're asking a board that prides itself on listening to extremities of experimental & out-there music why they hate a non-experimental band that you describe as "most interesting." You aren't going to understand why people on here hate the Flaming Lips for not being challenging enough when your boundaries of what constitutes "interesting" include an uninteresting band.

Anon you sound like a miserable and insufferable prick with strictly obscure musical taste. A board full of people like you would be a shitty place for music discussion. I know people who have played music for a decade, and have done it professionally, they are in their 20's and they enjoy Tame Impala.

there's a fucking shiteload of pop fans on /mu/ - there you have half your flaming lips fanbase sorted
then to appease people who prefer the kind of stuff you listed, they fuck around with their instrumentation, sometimes to the point where it makes no sense (see: zaireeka) they were an underground rock band doing weird shit for years, and they almost bankrupted themselves making an album that stands up to the best pop has to offer and is a totally new concept, and it still gets shit on

another case and point on why you indiefags always ruin things with your elitistism. If tame impala can dominate the airwaves like the beatles did .music starting from top 40 will change again.big labels only push shit that brings them lots of money. but that'll never happen because you retards are scared of somebody liking ur "epic" band. faggots

>>
>>61471713
Why is it important that they be from the last 5 years? There isn't much good music of any kind from the last 5 years, especially not psychedelic pop. That's like saying "Huh, I really haven't heard very many good fugues for harpsichord composed between 1988 and 1992. Can anyone recommend me some?"

If you really want recs, I'm not a huge fan of Animal Collective but I think they're due to release something in the next few months and it'll almost definitely be leagues better than Tame Impala.

They are a pop band for the majority of their career - I concede. But on all of their albums, apart from a few of the early ones, they've always put their back into making orginal sounding instrumentation, more so than any other band I've ever heard. The reason they're not shoving their experiments in your face is because (up until the last 5 years, I agree), they had a concept of subtlety, I think that makes them worthy of praise. And even then you have Zaireeka, The Terror, and Embryonic to appease those who want less pop, and more studio experiments from guys who know how to do it, because they've been doing it for the last 30 years.

I guess I also hate the Flaming Lips because of how unremarkable they are. I listened to Embryonic blind of their other material (I asked someone what their most "experimental" album was) and it was easily one of the most plodding, monotonous, and boring albums I've listened to in recent memory.
>>
>>61471805
>One guy says they aren't derivative, one says they are, so what exactly makes them derivative?
To criticise them properly I'd have to listen to them again, and I'm not about to pause Wayne Shorter just so I can prove some teenagers wrong on an Iranian camel-grooming message board, but based on what I remember from the last time I listened to Lonerism, it was mostly forgettable pop numbers slathered in reverb with some predictable harmonic progression or pentatonic guitar riff repeated ad nauseum while Jeff Parker or whatever his name is whines about having no friends over it. Literally just compare them to almost any psychedelic pop band from the 60s.
>who does the 80s synth/60s psych? Who mixes the 60s psych sound with modern elecronica?
Animal Collective, for a start.

>Also, your idea that musical knowledge has anything to do with fandom and preference and that somehow has a bearing on what originally a "why do they suck" line of replies is retarded.
It's a generalisation. I can't think of any reason why someone would like Tame Impala unless they hadn't heard better psych and don't know enough music theory to realise how clichéd their songwriting is, so it's reasonable to assume the majority of their fanbase is musically illiterate.
Also, I have a bad habit of responding to specific posts and ignoring the chain of replies that lead up to it, but this thread was originally about why /mu/ hates Tame Impala, not what makes them bad (which is obviously subjective).

You're failing to make me understand how he (or you) are more of a critical authority than I am. Someone can go to culinary school for 10+ years learning to be a top chef, but I can still call their food shit if it tastes bad and be 100% right.

every TI thread on /mu/ comes down to retatded arguments about whether it is or isn't "psych". It's all pop music you retards. All of it.

i would argue that Kevin Parker is literally fucking retarded

and i can criticize for it but you cant because i have a degree in psychology and you dont

>you personally thinking they're unremarkable is a reason to "hate" a band
Fuck outta here

>School and/or technical ability does not automatically yield talent or authority..

Over someone without either, yes it does. If you and your identical twin were given two different jobs, one of learning how to play music for the next 10 years while critiquing it, and the other just critiquing it. The musician will know more about music after 10 years. This isn't a groundbreaking or controversial idea anon.

I actually do have a degree in psychology lmao

>>61472527
>you personally thinking they're unremarkable is somehow not a valid reason to not like a band
fixed
>>
>>61472574
The musician would know a lot about theory and orchestration but they wouldn't know fuck all about musical scenes/genres/trends/cliques/genres/modern history or anything of value, just scales chords and timber (texture)
>>
I actually love Tame Impala and Currents is one of my favorite "background music" albums at the moment. I'm not saying they're amazing or groundbreaking in any way, I just dig their sound
>>
>>61472574
That's just where our opinions differ - you think that, because someone KNOWS more about something, that makes their critique of that field more valid. I can understand the logic behind that - being more well-informed generally makes someone smarter about something - but that logic simply doesn't apply to everything. Knowing more about playing music definitely makes you more of an authority on criticizing a band's use of music theory & technical ability, but someone who has never picked up an instrument in their life can just as easily say a band you like isn't very enjoyable and be on equal footing as you. I have no way of claiming that one of us is "right" and the other is "wrong" because both of us are using subjective opinions, but I can say that neither of us is more valid than the other in our opinions.

On an unrelated note, I can say that I've been to restaurants whose food tasted terrible that had chefs who went through years of culinary school. Education and experience make the likelihood of creating something good much higher, but they don't make impossible to make something bad.

>slathered in reverb
hey there anthony

>predictable harmonic progression or pentatonic guitar riff repeated ad nauseum
some are predictable, i'll give you that. His music rarely abuses pentatonic wanking though, so that's bullshit. I agree they(he)'s overrated, but he produces tasteful pop music with great arrangements, a cohesive and well developed sound and a well defined sense of mood and atmosphere.

I'd love to see you explain the difference.

>musical scenes/genres/trends/cliques/genres/modern history

Anon that is the most superficial bullshit about music. If we're listening to a song and you think its genre, clique? or genre history is more important than how the song fucking sounds, this isn't going to work. I give up on you.

>timber and tone are more important than interpretation
I disagree

>>61472762
Popular music = music for commercial consumption, as opposed to traditional or art music
Pop music = music that follows pop song formats codified by American composers in the mid-1900s

Simple as that.
>>
>>61472729
Having an opinion on something isn't the same as criticising it you fucking moron.

>>61472892
your mom is for commercial consumption

?

And you fail to see any overlap or confusion between those two things? Worlds apart, those two, yeah?
>>
>>61473043
I can hear you backpedaling from here.

>>61472937
I fail to see the difference you fucking moron.

Tame Impala is hands down the best band in the world right now. They are not pretty good, they are pretty incredible. But more than just how good they are, They represent the first ripple in a massive change that we are about to go through musically as well as culturally. I think that over the course of the next 10 years we are going to see a sort of mini-renaissance similar to what we saw in the late 50s-60s post war.

>>61473087
Well I'm sorry to tell you this but it looks like you're a fucking moron. Jesus Christ.

Keep dreamin dip shit

Tame Impala are one of those bands you'll like during your whole life.

>>61473129
I like Tame Impala but I'm convinced these types of comments are b8.
>>61473091
>>
>>61472085
you're dumb. he's not saying that Tame Impala is as innovative and influential as The Beatles, he's saying that bands like Tame Impala could change the music industry, given they get popular enough. You're a dumb fuck that jumps onto the first meme he can think of
>You literally sound like an edgy 14 year old
wow so fucking original, ass clown.

So calling them "the modern day Beatles" wasn't comparing them to the Beatles? I can see why he would've been mistaken to point out the contrast between Tame Impala and The Beatles in that case.
>>
>>61473426
you can compare a something to another thing without implying that they share all the same attributes. he clearly stated the similarities he saw between the two bands, you're the one that mentioned anything having to do with the bands being equal in quality. you're essentially arguing against a point that no one made.

>you can compare a something to another thing without implying that they share all the same attributes
Your point being?
>he clearly stated the similarities he saw between the two bands
Where?
>you're the one that mentioned anything having to do with the bands being equal in quality
I definitely didn't, I'm pretty sure the guy you initially responded to didn't, either.
>you're essentially arguing against a point that no one made.
Wrong again.
>>
>>61473583
>your point being?
that just because he compared The Beatles and Tame Impala for one thing, doesn't mean he thinks they are similar in all regards.
>Where?
"music starting from top 40 will change again"
"tame impala needs to dominate top 40 and change pop music forever, they're the modern day beatles"
granted, it is a bit much to actually call them the modern day beatles. but his point is that they could change the pop music industry by making it a bit less about the money, kind of like The Beatles did. notice how he hasn't really mentioned the quality yet?
>I definitely didn't, I'm pretty sure the guy you initially responded to didn't, either.
he literally mentioned a a comparison between Tame Impala and The Beatles that implies they are equal in influence and innovation. He was the first to mention it. "or to imply that they've innovated in any capacity comparable to the Beatles"
he never said that Tame Impala has innovated at any level near The Beatles, his point is that they have potential to change the industry to be less greedy (whether i agree with him or not is another thing).
>Wrong again.
get fucked retard
