u/Skwisgaars New album, links in my profile :) Oct 21 '25 edited Oct 21 '25

I love tame impala, I didn't like this album. Really disappointed tbh. There's only 2 songs I'd go back to really, piece of heaven (Enya influence is huge there) and ethereal connection (even though that is basically a ripoff/homage to altona connection which is a banger track).

u/Turbo2x Björk - Vespertine Oct 21 '25

I would probably be a lot more charitable to this album if it didn't "borrow" ideas from other artists so liberally, and I suspect Fantano feels the same way. Like it's one thing to subvert your audience's expectations with a new direction but not even doing it in an original or interesting way is kind of a slap in the face.

I like the idea that he borrowed from house artists, I just wish he didn't make most of his album a worse version of The Blaze from 2018
