Tame Impala - Lonerism

[Danny Boy]

That Fleetwood Mac tribute album is only $5 on Amazon right now.

 

[LemonMelon]

That's pretty good for a double album. There's a solid disc of decent stuff on there anyway.

 

[Imperor]

Lykke's "Silver Springs" is worth twice that alone.

 

[cobl04]

I'm buying this today. Still incredibly disappointed with the cover.

Maybe I'll just look for the Apocalypse Dreams single instead.

 

[LemonMelon]

They're almost the same photo, Apocalypse Dreams just has more instagram shit on it.

 

[cobl04]

This is literally the only negative review/post/blog/tweet/facebook status/etc I've seen about the album. I couldn't possibly disagree with this more.

Tame Impala - Lonerism in Releases : Mess+Noise

My only problem with the album (which may be top five for me this year) is that most of the songs aren't sticking with me. I adore it when I listen to it though.

 

[martha]

I still have to wait until next Tuesday. Which annoys me because I wanted to go to the record store this Saturday.

Nothing That Has Happened So Far Has Been Anything We Could Control

 

[mikal]

Does anyone else just adore the jam at the very end of the album? Makes me want to break out the Wah pedal!

 

[Padj]

So I bought tickets today to see them in Milan
I hope they play my favourites (Runway, Houses, City, Clouds; Lucidity, Endors Toi and Apocalypse Dreams) but I'm expecting a brilliant show anyway.

 

[intedomine]

Saw the second half of their set last night at Parklife. Lucidity is always amazing.

 

[cobl04]

How was Parklife?

 

[intedomine]

Great festival. Very well organised. They should use the Music Bowl more for festivals, but I presume that it doesn't have the capacity that Showgrounds and Flemington can offer.

Highlight was probably St. Lucia, and really enjoyed Presets (of which I only saw half before catching the latter half of Robyn's set).

 

[the tourist]

I should have paid better attention. I read the release day was yesterday. So I went to get it. It's not out in the states til Tuesday. Kinda lame that it was printed on a flyer here for a release date on a different continent. Still have only heard Elephant.

 

[cobl04]

9.0 BNM

I like it more than its predecessor, I have to say.

 

[LemonMelon]

P4k gets it right once in a while.

Although I do prefer Innerspeaker, probably by .5 or so.

 

[LemonMelon]

Wow, it's not just Pitchfork either.

Allmusic - 4.5/5
The Guardian - 5/5
MusicOMH - 4.5/5
NME - 4.5/5
Clash - 4.5/5
Herald Sun - 4.5/5

It'll be interesting to so who, if anyone, dissents. I'm betting Robert Christgau.

The album's amazing.

 

[u2popmofo]

I thought I'd already preordered it. Realized that I hadn't this morning, so it won't be showing up until later this week.

 

[iron yuppie]

Hype! Tomorrow the wait to hear this finally ends. Looking forward to it.

 

[the tourist]

I thought I'd already preordered it. Realized that I hadn't this morning, so it won't be showing up until later this week.

I feel your pain. I probably won't get this until next week since I'm cheap and always opt for free amazon shipping.

 

[mikal]

This album is about as perfect as it gets.

Not a weak song. Makes me miss weed too.

 

[Kieran McConville]

I endorse this record.

 

[the tourist]

I preordered on Saturday. It still hasn't even shipped.

 

[u2popmofo]

I preordered on Saturday. It still hasn't even shipped.

Where from, Amazon? Mine hasn't shipped yet either, and I'm a Prime member. Says it's in stock on their website too.

 

[iron yuppie]

I got mine on Tuesday via Prime shipping.

 

[u2popmofo]

Why do they give Chicagoans preferential treatment?!

 

[iron yuppie]

Rahm Emmanuel struck a special "deal" with Amazon.

Actually I think that they must have a distribution center right around here. I sometimes get my stuff in one day with the two-day shipping option.

 

[cobl04]

Seeing them in December.

 

[martha]

They're my next show in November.

 

[cobl04]

Seeing them in December.

No I'm not. I'm gonna be away all that week.
