I only know them because a colleague of mine hates Tame Impala because he says they ripped off Dungen.
Could be true, I've never heard a Dungen song. But I really like Tame Impala.

It's also the name of my favorite Jam rip-off song by The Chords.

No, man!
The repetition on Keep On Lying is different. At least it goes somewhere! For example, would you call the repetition on The Doors' Light My Fire boring? I wouldn't... because it takes me to wonderful places before returning to the chorus. Come to think of it, Keep On Lying is a bit like Light My Fire. The repetition on some of the other tracks doesn't seem to go anywhere, at least to my ears.. so far.Will definitely listen to that bonus track you posted.
Interesting. Will check it out. Thanks.
I'm also curious about that Pond album... beard wives denim whatever.

That bonus track 'Led Zeppelin' was quite nice... and very aptly titled I should say.
I also want to check out the pre-Innerspeaker songs on youtube. Too much music to discover. Not enough time.

Just listened to (the first half of) Innerspeaker again and goddamn is that a good album or what?!! I think it's the guitars that are all over the place that's just slaying me here with musical awesomeness.

And just so I'm in the mood, lemme do the song by song rating for Innerspeaker as well 
It's Not Meant To Be: Great song for sitting around smoking weed. Or rather, you don't need weed to get high when you got songs like these. 5/5
Desire Be Desire Go: Back and forth, back and forth of delicious 60s style riffs. 4.5/5
Alter Ego: Holy guitars, bass and vocal harmonies (or is that just delayed echo or whatever?)... 5/5
Lucidity: Riffage!! of the addictive type... 5/5
Make Up Your Mind?: More guitars and they're loud! 5/5
Solitude Is Bliss: It sure is. 4.5/5
Jeremy's Storm: What a great instrumental to break up the Lennon overdose. 5/5
Expectations: Very interesting, very different. 4.5/5
Bold Arrow Of Time: Time....... flow......... slowwwwwwwwww. 5/5
Runway, Houses, City, Clouds: Kinda like the I Want You (She's So Heavy) of this album? 5/5
I Don't Really Mind: Great chugging finish to a stellar album! 4.5/5

God, I love that guitar solo at the end. Might be my favorite song of theirs.

It occurred to me that you may have meant Mink DeVille:
Willy DeVille - Maybe Tomorrow - YouTube
In all his early 80s glory.

I think I, too, prefer Innerspeaker. It might be for personal reasons, since I listened to the hell out of that album in a tough period of my life. I get that Lonerism sees the band improve in some aspects, but deep down I think they didn't reach the peaks of Alter Ego and Runaway Houses, City, Clouds.

Well, okay then. I'm not alone. It just seemed like most people here rave about Lonerism much more than Innerspeaker. And I understand that the band has incorporated more new elements into their sound and the singer sounds less like Lennon and so on. But I agree with Padj that the second album doesn't quite reach the heights of something like Alter Ego or Runway.

I've not heard the debut but i do like Lonerism - hope to see them soon

If that isn't proof this band sucks, I don't know what is

In all fairness, it's tough for your favorite bands to have shitty fans when they have no fans at all.
