literally every song that's longer than 4 minutes. lonerism is a fine record with nice production and the closest they ever got to being great as far as im concerned but its bloated and tends to drift aimlessly in my opinion. that paired with the fact that they're the most inoffensive and most commercially viable psych rock revival group of their era makes me think of them as ersatz shit

Not what a jam is. >its bloated and tends to drift aimlessly in my opinion.
Not really, it has a pretty straightforward theme and moves along briskly. >they're the most inoffensive and most commercially viable psych rock revival group of their era
You don't listen to much psych do you? kek Oracular is an example of inoffensive psych.
For an “experimental” band that supposedly only made pop music as a goof, their pop albums are way better than their vapid sporkcore experimental albums.
Brian Eno is a top 5 sporkcore song. Anyone who says Lonerism is better than Congrats is lying through their teeth and probably only listened to Oracular Spectacular. Lonerism is riddled with filler, Congrats is consistently enjoyable all the way through.
Now that the dust has settled, what was missing?
Talent
p4k gave this a 6-something, destroying the band's momentum.
I would take this over most of the shit that is getting 8s and 9s today.
pitchfork reviews aren't about music
plastic psych
Lonerism is way better than this.
Lonerism is objectively tame impala’s worst album though
Said no one ever.
Cope pleb
What is their best then? Slow Rush? Shit. Currents? Shit. Innerspeaker? Maybe but still not as refined as Lonerism and rather amateurish.
still doesn't change anything
yeah if you prefer aesthetics over song writing. tame impala has like 3 good songs and the rest just drifts aimlessly in half baked jams.
Name 3 "jams" on Lonerism.

sporkcore fucking rules when it's done right, and this does it right.
>sporkcore fucking rules when it's done right,
It's never done right that's why it's sporkcore.

The superior acid cat
Mid (mediocre) album
Siberian Breaks is one of the best songs of the last 20 years
Nah, Metanoia was way better.
>sporkcore
I’m glad they’re putting heavy metals in your zoomer ass foods
