Big stupidity to have removed it from the album. The disappointment I felt when I heard it was different on the album and that I didn't like it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

West Coast 44,802 Posted March 11, 2022 Not my first time attending a Tame Impala concert, and I don't know if it's because it was my first concert Covid times, but the show I attended last night has got to be one of the best. Absolutely otherworldly.Β Β 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRENCH 15,342 Posted May 12, 2022 I haven't heard his other albums apart from Currents but Slow Rush (after a few listens while high) is so good, its the type of album i would see get high praise but its so hated on? I dont get it 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glitter Boy 16,201 Posted May 12, 2022 I started getting into his catalog with The Slow Rush and I actually enjoyed it a lot! But judging by your comments, when I listen to the other albums they'll be way better I guess? Β 0 Quote "I'm wild, I'm free, no man can handle me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Β His first two albums are more psychedelic rock, then Currents is a mix between pop and psychedelic rock while still being very experimental. Currents is his best imo 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
