^ Not even sure I'll buy the record to be honest. There's so much airy fairy synthy wandering that just isn't very interesting. More than ever it feels like his voice is just another instrument. Its at its best when it gets more dancey, dark, house-ier, like Breathe Deeper, which has this irresistible dark piano Secret Life of Arabia vibe to it that I love. A few other tracks are interesting, One More Year, Glimmer, It Might Be Time is one of the already-super-popular tracks, but I quite like it, it's more punchy than most of the rest, like Borderline, which isn't half as good as it thinks it is. Lost in Yesterday is the best example of what the record sounds like. Absolute modern Tame Impala by the numbers. Banal.
Every song has little moments that are awesome, but those ideas get abandoned almost as soon as they've started.
one of the most anti-capitalist bands ever is charging over $600 for a GA floor ticket.
Crack Up is a hundred times more interesting in terms of performance and song structure than the Slow Rush. As a huge Tame Impala fan, I hate to say it, but it really comes across as a gooey and formless nothing of an album.
The one saving grace is that the overall sound and feel of the record is second to none. Gonna make a lot of fans happy when they trip to it this weekend.

Yeah despite It Might Be Time being one of my favorite songs in a long while, the rest of the album isn't really landing. It's not bad, just incoherent. Every song has little moments that are awesome, but those ideas get abandoned almost as soon as they've started. Frustrating in that regard.

I mean it’s all subjective, but Crack-Up actually made me angry enough to not return to it.
How come?
It made me mad because I loved their first album and first two EPs so much, and still liked Helplessness Blues a whole lot, but thought Crack-Up was just... not good and wholly underwhelming. Maybe Phil Ek was the reason the early stuff was really good. I sure felt his absence.
(whispers) maybe Misty was the reason
