meaning you dont like them and you wish you hadnt heard them, or you do like them and wish you could listen to them for the first time again?

From wiki : They like to see themselves as "a steady flowing psychedelic groove rock band that emphasizes dream-like melody."[3]

Huh?

Tame Impala are pretty great, and they put on a hell of a live show. "Lonerism" wasn't really my cup of tea, though.

Definitely the former.

I liked some of the first LP, hated the new one.

I saw Tame Impala touring their EP and first album and they were fairly boring live. That was about 2009/10 though. They must've improved a hell of a lot.

Surprised with John Mayer...really guys?

The John Mayer album is fantastic. Have you listened to it or do you just dislike Mayer because of some song that was popular that you hated ten years ago?

jesus christ, the whole cd he just sings in that awful boring monotone voice.. i didnt hate it for a couple songs in the mad season cd but 2 tracks into this n im in a coma

When you get it, you'll thank us. Lanegan is great. Maybe Blues Funeral isn't the best introduction but this album being a top ranked release makes sense to me. Bland of Horses being top ten on the other hand....

You say that like it'd be a bad way to die.

This was my introduction to Lanegan as a solo artist and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Blues Funeral is a beautiful album.

One quote I came across while reading a year end list, somewhere maybe Chunklet said something like "you can throw a rock in Australia and hit a better band than Tame Impala"

Its funny cause its true.

actually i have that whiskey for the holy ghost cd and its not terrible

at least in that one he changes the tone of his voice n mixes it up a little.. the backgrounds are way better too

Whiskey is my favourite but I can appreciate why ML may be a bit too dark and droney for others.

This is not better than Tame Impala. This isn't even half as good as any of the 80s punk bands it tries to ape.

I always felt Tame Impala were a less interesting version of Dungen who were doing a very simliar thing a few years previous.

I can stand it.

There are so many worthwhile bands down there. And a good lot of them are better than TI, in my opinion.

Good stuff, I'd never heard this. What language is that, Swedish?

I believe so.

Worst subjective musical opinion ever.
