Currents
“Nearly every song on Currents is a statement of leader Kevin Parker's range and increasing expertise as a producer, arranger, songwriter, and a vocalist. Parker is writing pop songs here, and doing them justice, and Currents is the result of a supernaturally talented obsessive trying to perfect music.”
Currents
“Kevin Parker expands his world to accommodate R&B grooves for the downtown clubs”
Lonerism
“Tame Impala's second full-length, Lonerism, will once again be compared to albums from the late 1960s and early 70s. But the project is exciting because, by maximizing the use of the available technology, it taps into the progressive and experimental spirit of psychedelic rock, and not just the sound.”
Currents
“Change is a good thing on Tame Impala's Currents”
InnerSpeaker
“These Australians have crafted an assured and accomplished album that integrates an array of psych rock references into a powerful whole.”
The Slow Rush
“On his fourth album, Kevin Parker takes a breath and eases into a smoother psychedelic sound. Even without the adrenaline-filled highs, the compositions are as rich and thoughtful as ever.”
Currents
“Currents is a bold shift for Tame Impala…trading fuzzy guitars for synths and smooth, psychedelic pop. The production is dreamy and immersive, and Kevin Parker’s introspective lyrics hit at times. But while it’s beautifully crafted, some tracks blur together, losing the spark that made earlier work so distinct. Still, it’s an ambitious and emotional ride worth revisiting.”
Deadbeat
“LISTENED: 10/17/2025 Listening to this album on release and seeing the roll-out in real time felt like a prank when the actual album dropped. Having the only few good songs on your new album be used as the singles for the roll-out is actually hilarious. Some (aka most) of these songs sound like demos, and I barely made it out of that 8-minute song alive.”
The Slow Rush
“LISTENED: ??/??/2024 Severely overshadowed by the success and popularity of Currents, and it’s such a shame. This album is nothing short of another elevation in the synth sound Tame Impala does so well, with themes of love, loss, and just some nice funky beats to enjoy.”
Deadbeat
“Deadbeat delivers that classic Tame Impala haze—dreamy vocals, shimmering synths, and hypnotic grooves, but with a looser, rougher edge. Some tracks drift a bit too far into the fog, but the standout moments still hit that nostalgic, melodic sweet spot. Not his strongest work, but a solid vibe-heavy listen that’s easy to sink into”
Currents
“LISTENED: ??/??/2022 Pure psychedelic heaven with the most addicting synth melodies and great song topics to relate to. One of my favorite albums of all time, containing my favorite song of all time (Let It Happen).”
The Slow Rush
“Phenomenal album, made me fall in love with Tame Impala all over again. One More Year, One More Hour, and Borderline are tremendous!”
Currents
“Every time I ride my bike I listen to this and I feel like I’m flying it’s a perfect album truly a masterpiece:)”
Currents
“Couple duds but overall life changing. You know it’s only one guy right?”
