its a 6/10 stop pretending its any better than that

i agree.
8/10
Innerspeaker was better tho
>>63689214
shit taste
for like one summer and then its just boring, i had that summer with it in 2013
its one of those albums that never gets old
i listened to the entire thing on acid once

>hey guys look im on drugs while i listen to music give me attention
>>63689168
I still prefer Innerspeaker/Tame Impala EP
>>63690528
those are alright if you prefer comfortable music thats firmly rooted safely in the past. i enjoy innerspeaker quite a bit but its more or less straight psychedelic rock, whereas lonerism is more neo-psych, its more pop more forward thinking
>>63690528
>>63690565
Currents is still better than both.
>>63690577
i love currents dont get me wrong, but 'better than lonerism'?? nah nigga nah
>>63690594
Ye nigga, ye. Tame Impala is better the poppier they get. They can't do psychedelic the way other bands do, they're an accessible group at the core.
>>63689168
yeah, it's very solid, one of those albums that knows what it wants ot do and does it perfectly,
>>63690623
>They can't do psychedelic the way other bands do,
yeah because they're better than other bands... do you think psychedelia cant be pop? what is the beatles??
you're right though tame impala IS better the poppier they get, i agree. kevin's writing gets tighter every album
>>63690642
Tame Impala is like The Beatles reincarnated, and that's how it should be. The less pretentious they try to be, the better. Just bothers me when people act like they're some gift to the psychedelic music genre. If I really want something challenging to trip out on, it's certainly not going to be them.
>>63689168
...at being derivative of actual psychedelic rock
>>63689168
wheres the copy pasta of a pretentious wanna be stoner on reddit talking about how tame impala will change music like the beatles??? im sure someone has it.
>>63690680
>If I really want something challenging to trip out on, it's certainly not going to be them.
thats kind of a shitty attitude, because for me, i heard lonerism all the way through on my very first acid trip and i had a very religious experience and to this day cant listen to it without feeling after effects or vague flashback type mindsets
>Tame Impala is like The Beatles reincarnated, and that's how it should be.
agreed 100%
>The less pretentious they try to be, the better.
i sort of agree because i want them to get more mainstream, but at the same time, experimentation is not bad at all, and if anything the weirder and farther out they get the better. the beatles had their experimentation phase and they benefited greatly from it (ie abbey road)
>>63689610
>its an episode of "faggot thinks you can only listen to certain albums in certain seasons".
>>63690687
lonerism is neo psych not rock, dipshit
>>63690687
commit suicide
>>63690680
id get shot for saying this usually but yeah i agree
>>63690680
>Just bothers me when people act like they're some gift to the psychedelic music genre.
they are though
>>63690847
Pretty sure you'd have a "very religious experience" with pretty much any album on your first acid trip. Also, of course experimentation isn't bad, I'm just saying they don't do it well. Also,
>Calling Abbey Road experimental
>>63690917
No. They're a gift to the pop-rock genre and a good gateway band to other bands that do psychedelia better.
>>63690931
>implying Abbey Road isn't one of the most experimental albums of the era
Do you even listen to music faggot?
>>63690931
not calling abbey road experimental, im said they benefited from experimentation like on the white album
>Pretty sure you'd have a "very religious experience" with pretty much any album on your first acid trip.
yeah, but hearing a modern psychedelic record sets the mood, and was the best suggestion i could have gotten, other than listening to something like sgt pepper or other classics
>>63690960
>Do you even listen to music faggot?
>The irony
>>63690951
>pop-rock
Faggot you clearly don't even play an instrument or have any actual knowledge on music. Fuck off back to your black metal bands.
>>63690969
>was the best suggestion i could have gotten, other than listening to something like sgt pepper or other classics
Fair enough, my nigga. I feel you.
>>63690951
they're not pop rock though, they're neo psych... and no, im sorry no other band does psych better than tame impala/lonerism. i mean theres other bands that do it DIFFERENTLY like say deerhunter on halcyon digest, but not 'better'. agree to disagree on that
>>63690931
>Also, of course experimentation isn't bad, I'm just saying they don't do it well.
i disagree again, i like the more weirder stuff on Lonerism the best like Be Above It or Nothing That Has Happened So Far
>>63690982
>>63691009
>im sorry no other band does psych better than tame impala/lonerism
wew
>>63690852
not at all, this album is the exception to that though. never want to hear it again.
>>63691032
hey, at least he apologized
>>63691053
that's too bad because theres lots of replayability and things you probably missed
>>63690869
>>63690879
Stay salty aussies
>>63691032
>>63691059
i was talking about modern psych, not of all time, obvious as much as i love lonerism, ill concede its not the greatest psych record ever, that's probably sgt pepper or ok computer if we're talking music in general
also, kill me but i like strawberry jam more than MPP
>>63691088
>its not the greatest psych record ever, that's probably ok computer
Wow, Tame Impala fans everyone
>>63691088
>ok computer
>psych
What are you doing?
>>63691106
>>63691110
'psychedelic' means mind expanding, its attributed to the experience of taking psychedelic drugs
ok computer is the most mind expanding record ever made, every time i hear it its like a new revelation just for me. its probably deep down my favorite album of all time
>>63691106
>>63691110
>>63691126
scaruffi also calls OK computer "living room psychedelia" because of the lush studio treatment and sound effects, like that of dark side of the moon, quite literally the most blunt psych record ever made
>>63691126
you could record me taking a shit and someone would drop acid and say its "mind expanding"
psychedelic means a lot more than that bucko
>>63691126
>the genre depends on if you like it or not
Not how it works
>>63691159
He also said they were faux-experimental, which is incorrect.
>quite literally the most blunt psych record ever made
kek
>>63691126
>>63691159
Doesn't mean it falls in the psychedelic rock genre. That's an extreme stretch.
>>63691169
psy·che·del·ic
ˌsīkəˈdelik/Submit
adjective
1.
relating to or denoting drugs (especially LSD) that produce hallucinations and apparent expansion of consciousness.
synonyms: hallucinatory, trippy, dream-like, mind-bending, mind-altering, mind-expanding, mind-blowing, bizarre, surreal
"a psychedelic experience"
>>63691196
By this definition, >>63691126 is wrong.
>>63691053
you should probably commit suicide
>>63691181
>quite literally the most blunt psych record ever made
you've never heard people refer to dark side as the go to stoner album? its probably the single most popular drug record ever made next to sgt pepper
>the genre depends on if you like it or not
uh no but there are obvious nods to the genre throughout the album, and its been compared to dark side i dont know how many times
>>63691184
i didnt say it was psych rock, OK Computer is alternative rock or art rock that is ihenrelty psychedelic
>>63691221
how is it wrong? ok computer expands your mind because of how relevant it is
>>63691232
yeah probably but that doesn't have anything to do with tepid old tame impala
>>63691241
>you've never heard people refer to dark side as the go to stoner album?
People who have only heard one psychedelic album in their life.
>its probably the single most popular drug record
That's because it's alreday one of the most popular records in general. See how that works?
>uh no
It is. You said "If it blows my mind! (see: I like it) then it's psychedelic" Unless you can show me an album that blew your mind that you didn't like.
>ihenrelty psychedelic
lol
>>63691258
Because you cherry-picked a synonym and applied to to a music genre with specific characteristics.
Is all "bizarre" music psychedelic?
>>63691260
What is with your hatred with Tame Impala? I'm not even what you'd consider a "fan" of them, but I do enjoy them from time to time and their definitely not bad psych. I swear there are legitimate aspies on this board that get fixated on pointless things like this.
>>63691241
I'm not going to hold anything against you for being ignorant, but you are really coming off as such here. Psychedelic rock is much more specific than just druggy rock music.
>>63691241
>ill concede its not the greatest psych record ever, that's probably sgt pepper or ok computer if we're talking music in general
>psych record
So it's psychedelic, and it's rock but you're saying it doesn't fall into the psychedelic genre despite the fact it's perhaps the best psych record of all time. Got it.
>>63691298
>What is with your hatred with Tame Impala?
breaking news: he is not you
>>63691291
>People who have only heard one psychedelic album in their life.
not true, ive heard many different psych records and its still the golden standard.
>That's because it's alreday one of the most popular records in general. See how that works?
its popular because its psychedelic, m8. it affects people on a subconscious level just like LSD.
>It is. You said "If it blows my mind! (see: I like it) then it's psychedelic" Unless you can show me an album that blew your mind that you didn't like.
you're really undercutting what it means for an album to expand your mind, espeically one as good as OK Computer.
>lol
uh yeah TVU&N isnt outright psychedelic but it considered a very psych album, and theres references to drugs and the song venus in furs is more or less a psych record
>Is all "bizarre" music psychedelic?
in a way, it is. experimental music is psychedelic, but is not always 'about' drugs or has to do with them
>>63691346
The difference is, a normal well adjusted human being would simply admit to not liking the album, rather than flat out saying it's shit music like a child.
Can we just agree literally all music is psychedelic?
>>63691333
yeah it doesnt fall into the genre because OK Computer is not overtly about psychedelia. Thom Yorke didnt sit down and plan to write a psych album, but was subconsciously influenced by it obviously
>>63691305
>Psychedelic rock is much more specific than just druggy rock music.
if you say so, when i think of psych rock i think of people with long hair doing drugs, and so does pretty much everyone else
>>63691416
kill yourself
>>63691298
lol i don't even think of tame impala anymore, sure as shit don't have an aspie fueled hatred of it
i liked the album for a while and got bored of it, all there is to me and tame impala
>>63689168
Boring as fuck, worst vocals ever dude.
bought it on wax when it came out haven't listened to it for at least a year. just put it on again. the first tracks are amazing and then it's a bunch of fillers with some good song mixed inbeetween. i'd give it a 6,5/10 right now.
>>63691450
Yet here you are replying to anyone that claims they're a good psych rock band.
>>63691377
>ive heard many different psych records
Like, say United States of America? Or maybe Boces? or even Signal Morning?
>its popular because its psychedelic, m8. it affects people on a subconscious level
lol
>you're really undercutting what it means for an album to expand your mind
You're really undercutting what it means to be psychedelic but let's just play make believe for a second... Let's say OK Computer didn't blow my mind. Then it's not psychedelic.
>uh yeah TVU&N isnt outright psychedelic but it considered a very psych album
How so? They were characteristically psychedelic.
>and theres references to drugs
You mean opiates?
>in a way, it is
lol
>experimental music is psychedelic
So Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting In A Room" is psychedelic?

Tame Impala is better than 99% of the neo-psych bands out there, and Kevin Parker is a glorious songwriter. Kill yourself if you can't deal with it, nerd

how many micrograms though?

>>63691477
>How so? They were characteristically psychedelic
They were actively avoiding being labeled as psych actually, do you know anything about music at all?
>>63691477
>You're rally undercutting what it means to be psychedelic
By saying OK computer one of if not the single greatest album ever doesn't expand your mind? Yeah ok, not to mention the late 90s had a huge influx of people taking acid for the first time, probably didn't affect music or anything though
>>63691980
Typo, should be UNpsychedelic
Why aren't you replying to that guy?
>By saying OK computer one of if not the single greatest album ever doesn't expand your mind?
You didn't address the issue. By your logic If OKC didn't blow my mind, then it's not psychedelic. Right?
>>63691949
Not really, I don't remember a single song from the album.
>>63692055
See >>63692150

>Kevin parker
>Glorious songwriter
>Using the term "Neo-psych"

damn dude, you should kill yourself first.
The songwritting is fucking average,
Everything is just texture, there´s fucking nothing good about the songwriting of a stoner studio rat who try´s sooo hard to show he´s lonely and beta.
Enjoy having tumblr music taste my man.

>>63692150
Ok computer needs more flanger and smoke weed instagram effects to be considered psych by a 14 year old
>>63692382
Not answering the question.
If it didn't (as it is plausible there are people in the planet who didn't like OKC) then it ceases to be psychedelic, right?
it can't be psychedelic while simultaneously not being psychedelic. That's not how genres work.
>>63692433
What is pet sounds then? It's a barque pop album at its core but is also considered psychedelic. Same with Loveless and OK Computer. Not nessarily psychedelic albums but are extremely and overtly psych
>>63692389
Too bad they are getting non stop praise from nearly everyone because they're great
>>63692528
>What is pet sounds then?
>It's a barque pop album
Answered your own question didn't you?
>also considered psychedelic. Same with Loveless and OK Computer
The former would be neo-psychedelic because shoegaze and noise-pop references that. The later is not psychedelic at all. Just alt-rock or Art rock
Again, as we've alreday stated: psychedelic music is either made to replicate a psychedelic experience using specific auditory techniques, or to create a soundtrack to do so specifically by the artist (whom often employed aforementioned auditory techniques as reference).
Just because it "blew your mind" or "sounds weird" doesn't mean it's psychedelic. Hot Rats blew my mind, but is clearly not psychedelic. Delusion of the Fury also blew my mind, but is not psychedelic.
>>63692636
So yeah art rock can't be psych even though you think TVUN is psych, ok
Psychedelia IS art it IS experimental
>>63692675
>So yeah art rock can't be psych
It can, but not in this case
>even though you think TVUN is psych
It is not, I don't. It's proto-punk.
>Psychedelia IS art
All music is art
>it IS experimental
OIoops you forgot to answer me before: is "I Am Sitting in a Room" psychedelic then?
It isn't, because you don't know what experimental music is.
Do you think before you speak/type?
>>63692733
>It's proto-punk.
it's art rock
And yes I am Sitiing in a room is psychedelic, drone music is psychedelic
>>63692785

the hype eventuaaalllyy!! will die
It always happens
Just wait to the fade of pitchfork and tumblr and you will see.
>>63692862
No it's psych because it has elements of psych rock
>>63692941
So thus drone is not inherently psychedelic. This album just has elements of both, thus the overlap
>>63692960
Drone is inherently psych because the psych experience has a lot to do with the drone concept of repetition, hypnosis,

Thanks for playing.
>>63693088
There's no one on earth who can lay out the experience in a way that will make sense to you, if you've never tried a psychedelic drug
>>63693113
>if you've never tried a psychedelic drug
Quote me where I said I never tried a psychedelic drug.
Also do you know music theory?

I never implied you didn't take a psych drug before. Calm down, sperglord

Not to mention I asked you directly and then you said
>There's no one on earth who can lay out the experience in a way that will make sense to you, if you've never tried a psychedelic drug
Which obviously implies you thought I'd never done a psychedelic before.
So do you know music theory or not?
>>63690370
wow this is a ripoff of that weird song on Diary (SDRE)
>>63693219
Again, I'm not going to lecture on the experience and how it relates to hypnosis or drones, if you've never taken acid which I can tell you haven't it's going to sound like gobbledygook
>>63693349
>Again, I'm not going to lecture on the experience and how it relates to hypnosis or drones,
You don't need to, just provide a credible source for your information. I could give two shits about your petty opinion on tripping, you already proved you don't know what experimental music or psychedelic music is. Just wondering if you have an actual citation or if your drug addled mind is making up random associations.
>if you've never taken acid which I can tell you haven't
Nice backpedaling
>>63693391
I know what experimental music is, why are you so hung up on the fact that you can't see experimentation as the natural psychedelia that it is and how it relates to the experience? Maybe because you've never taken drugs like I said. Straight edgers are the worst. "Please explain an experience that is mostly subjective and can't be rationally understood! You can't do it so you're wrong! xd" no I'm not going to provide fedivle sources for it because as I told yo twice already I'm not going to lecture on it
>>63693471
>I know what experimental music is,
Explain it
>the fact that you can't see experimentation as the natural psychedelia
Because that's not experimental music.
>"Please explain an experience that is mostly subjective and can't be rationally understood! You can't do it so you're wrong! xd"
Subjective experiences don't make a music genre. So thus your definition cannot possibly be correct
>I'm not going to lecture on it
Not what I'm asking. Just direct me to a source that proves your claim. Not your own words.
Also third time I'll have to ask: do you know music theory? Because really, if you don't know it, you really don't understand music at all.
