Sorry, carry on.

I’m with Strat here, I’m afraid.

I’ve spent time listening to the records and I’m now of the view that there’s just nothing there.

I'm in this boat too -- not my thing.

Not to jump on the bandwagon with the cool kids but I'm the same. Their records have some moments but I just get bored.

I like them and now I’m planning on punching all four of you in the dick

I’m with Bammer today, except non-violent. I haven’t listened to the third album yet but I will get to it this week. It’s fitting nicely in with my mid-60s mildly psychedelic but catchy vibe this week.

more like lame impala amirite

^^ Own, each, their, to.

At a resort roof top infinity pool today, sipping black russians and chilling, listening to the piped hotel tunes. They played "Let it Happen" and have to say, happy days indeed. Great tune.

Having said all that, my wife is totally in strat's boat here (calm down you lot - you know what I mean). She is simply not a fan.

I think Kevin has lost me with this album. I'll give it a listen when it's released, but nothing is really grabbing me so far.

the album hasn't even been released yet!

I know, but the few singles they've released haven't excited me.

I really enjoyed most of Currents, but I do really prefer theory rock stuff.

Not feeling Currents. The organic feel of the first two is lost to too many electronic synths. Just sounds like anything else I heard last decade that I didn’t care about.

I've already listened to the new album twice today. And well....it has some good songs.. But it also kinda lackluster and boring at times.
Maybe it will grow a bit like the last Arctic Monkeys album, but it's not doing much for me...

For some reason I don't feel like listening to this.

Listening now for the first time. I really need to spend some time with this with headphones. Parker's best skill set is his production, the quality of the drum sounds, the little pieces of ear candy that float in and out. So even an album full of boring songs for Tame standards will still be interesting enough to draw me on. But clearly this is no Currents. Currents is one of my favorite albums of all time. This is certainly not going to live up to that level.

Yeah I'm thinking ok at best

First thoughts is 5 years n this is what he comes up with wtf

I am liking the new album after an initial listen.

For those not liking them, try the live album. Wasn't a fan of Currents but the live album broke the band for me. Now I am all in.

a co worker put the new one....man, what an awful boring thing.

i started listening to this album this morning on spotify and i inadvertently played the playlist where parker narrates/introduces each song. the songs were all out of order (in a terribly boring, bad way) and i couldn't figure out for the life of me why parker was talking on the album.

i have the album a proper listen a little later. it was . . . just ok. it's totally tame impala. but it lacks the hooks from currents. most of the songs have the same tempos and pacing, which gets really stale really quickly.
