I love this album!

It's a nice story to say, because it was my first love the person who introduced me to Tame Impala, and even though it didn't work out for us the music stayed with me and it's a fortune!

My absolute favorite album of all time!! All of the Tame albums are 10s IMO but Currents resonates the most with me!

A very intelligent quote

It is like just in between being a progression and being a sellout album. In my opinion. The singles off this album are better than Elephant from Lonerism. But Lonerism was a great album in entire (and I think intentionally built that way) whereas there are clearly songs songs on Currents that are meant to stand back and let the singles look even better which, when talking about albums as aesthetic objects and not merely as commodities, lacks a certain respectability. The Less I know the Better is a remarkable riff though. And Let It Happen is as great an album opener as any. The production is slick, but not in a way that waters down the sound but just to accompany a new musical direction.

Maybe 'sellout' is a bit harsh. I've been listening to his music back when it was on Myspace. It's certainly a lot different now. Back then it was extremely unique. I think he reached a beautiful balance between approachable and originality on the song 'Mind Mischief.'
