I seriously hope this was your AOTY last year

It was my #2, but /mu/ likes to pretend that it's bad. Same thing happened with RAM back in 2013, they'll come around eventually.

best song on the album imo
>>65043300
What do you like about it? There are way more instrumentally pleasant songs on the album IMO.
>They say people never change but that's bullshit they do
What did he mean by this?
Not even close. Tame Impala is shit.

It wasn't my AOTY but it is a good album with some very fine songwriting. I imagine the haters haven't seriously listened to it.
No, he's not as good as Morgan Delt, but just because he got more famous doesn't mean he isn't still good.
Btw my 2015 AOTY was this

no /mu/ hates tame impala because people on reddit (a site where they supposedly don't go in the first place) praises him
>>65043431
>lmfao... this is one of the best songs ive ever heard in my entire life
that's the saddest thing i've ever heard in my entire life.
>>65043452
I hate Tame Impala because they/he makes shitty psych pop that people for some reason jack themselves off to all the time, even going so far as to claim it's the best music of the last decade or even longer.
>>65043452
I hate them because they've based their sound almost exclusively on shitty psychedelic revival. They really, really really want to be the Beatles circa MMT-era and it shows. Psychedelic rock has already had three revivals, for fuck's sake.

I think I just hate psych rock/pop desu

I dont care! I was at a happy point in my life and this came out a little bit before halloween 2015, and that whole month I listened to this and had a spooky month and fun with my friends. It will always remind me of this album.
>>65043173
also my #2, my #1 being Depression Cherry

just stop

thought it was just ok when it came out but I've been loving it this past month for some reason
Not really. The album was just droll and middling in its attempts to be light and catchy. The annoying falsetto, relatively long runtime, filler, vaguely existential lyrics, and unchanging sound don’t help the album’s case either. The overall result is directionless and dime-a-dozen revival pop made to fill space on alt-radio.
Not that Tame Impala's attempts at psychedelic rock are any better though.
It's so hard to pick just one AOTY 2015, they were all so close.
Boris - Asia
Boris - Warpath
Boris - Urban Dance
Bjork - Vulnicura
High on Fire - Luminiferous
Tame Impala - Currents
>>65043134
Why? I mean I liked it, but I'm not allowed to like other albums more?
>>65045465
>that guy who has no concept of melody
>>65045683
It's just that Tame Impala's airy melodies simply don't do the trick. Melodies are nice but without proper support/accompaniment, the melody is practically wasteful because there's nothing to show for it besides the limited merit of the melody, which is just an ingredient of music, not a dish.
If you want a 2015 release that I thought had great melodies, there's US Girls - Half Free, Destroyer - Poison Season, tricot - A N D, Susanne Sundfor - Ten Love Songs, and even Health - Death Magic. Anything Tame Impala can offer pale in comparison IMO.
>>65045865
hm. I can't listen to "Disciples" without admiring the melody, and parker himself has penned at least a dozen others I think are solid (from lonerism/innerspeaker) but I'm willing to give your suggestions a try. to me "airy" isn't a bad thing, its part of the "dreamy/atmospheric/psych" style. I agree not every song is a hit, but some supposed "filler" I really enjoy from a sonic perspective like "gossip"
>>65046020
Disciples is actually one of the better songs on there desu.
Lemme backpedal a bit. I don't hate Currents. I just don't necessarily see the point of it. There isn't really any time of day or mood where I would willingly listen to this for enjoyment even if some of the tracks aren't that bad. For everything this album does well there's another that does it and more.

Nah, as far as arrangements go Tame Impala is some of the best pop music going on right now. Like, not top 5, but top 25 or so for sure.
But I defer to your knowledge man, what treasure trove of songcraft do you know about that makes Tame Impala irrelevant?
>>65044580
It was the best album of 2013.
>>65045407

this just happens when you download an image off google images.
>>65043134
There wasn't anything that good last year though, this album isn't great but it doesn't have much competition so I can easily see it being AOTY for some people.
>>65043134
It was :)
>>65043550
>2015
But yes v good choice anon
Good album but the Yes-like cover got me thinking it was going to sound wayyyyyy fucking different than what I got.
cover's honestly better than the music
Currents is "ok." Some songs I really loved, like Disciples and Gossip, Love Paranoia and The Moment was good, but most of the other songs were so bland. I know Kevin was never known for his vocals, but they were especially shit on this album. His guitar-work was the best aspect of his last two albums, and the compositions of Currents just doesn't match up. I loved Innerspeaker and the other one when I first listened to them. I mean, absolutely loved them. But I tried listening to them again recently and just couldn't. Tame Impala is just so mediocre, I don't get their absolute praise everywhere
>>65043540
>t. moron
My personal fav.
>>65043134
i hate lonerism, its sounds dated, the production sounds like fucking shit, but i actually really like currents
>>65045465
I think Lonerism is a pretty good Psych album, definitely their strongest release and I would consider it more then just an "attempt"
Currents just feels like he toned it down and smothered it in 80s/vaporwave aesthetic tho probably a 5 or 6 out of 10 for me.
bb Courtney Barnett had aoty of course
