So happy you two came back to this! You nailed the whole Tame Impala ethos, every instrument gets the amount of love that an individual band member would bring to them. It's why we're always pointing out the fact that "it's only one guy" because it truly sounds like the effort of a group of talented friends. I absolutely adore the drum sound/playing on this record -- so crisp. Still get shivers when listening.

To me this is a timeless album that appeals to multiple generations. Years ago my mom heard a Tame Impala song on the radio that she really liked, so I bought her Lonerism on CD. Now she has all 4 albums and cycles through them while driving. Last year I took her to a Tame Impala concert and at 68 years old I guarantee she was the oldest one there, but she was jamming out and vibing like the rest of them. This album helped me connect with my mom in a way we never had before and I'll always be grateful for it.

"this album sounds like 5 guys jamming out on acid" is the best comparison to Tame Impala i've ever heard, it's so goddamn accurate, it's literally what Tame Impala's first 2 albums sound like, and i find it absolutely extraordinary how one man can have so much musical talent it's crazy.
Kevin Parker has really become my favorite artists, for me he is a musical genius who knows how to perfectly make a song that transports you into beautiful psychedelic world.
When I saw you guys upload this video i knew it was going to be amazing, as I always love the way you two talk about music and the songs and albums you reviews. As a music lover but not a musician myself, hearing super precise comments on certain sounds, effects and instruments etc (Kevin sticking in the "intro" part of the song on Mind Mischief) is amazing to hear and really makes me love Kevins work (in this particular case), hearing and realising things only musicians would notice and appreciate.
Anyways was an absolutely pleasure seeing Kevin (not Parker lol) discover and love this album!!!! I'd LOVE to see you guys review his first album next (Innerspeaker), its fucking incredible too!!!!
Peaceeee!!!!!!!!

I had a time period where I was heavily into psychedelics, and I would consume and then proceed to walk 50 minutes to the nearest park. Coming up and walking, listening to this album was a ritual for me. I'm sure I'm not the only one connected to the album in this way, but it has a special place in my heart

Oh my. When I was 18 I moved out from my parents house in Sweden to try my luck in Edinburgh, Scotland. This album was everything I listened to during my time abroad. Lonerism was so fitting, learning how to live by myself and cope with being alone in a completely new country without my family and friends. It was such a scary, but amazing time. Wish I could go back!

I really really hope you guys listen to Innerspeaker in full. But about Lonerism, what an album. Album that I have consistently went back to, It really has a world of it's own and I have so many memories attached to it since I discovered it in high school back in 2013 or so. It's quite emotional to hear now. I love how your dad recognizes drum sounds and production techniques, Kevin did indeed record those drums in an untreated room with a lot of muffling. He also doesn't mic up the toms, he just uses two overhead microphones so that's why the drums sound so open and boomy on this album. And he is a great drummer, you can tell his technique is really solid and he's playing so loose and relaxed. Drums were his first instrument and it really shows on this record. They're the main stars of this album.
Also I love how you guys really recognized the vibe and the feeling of this album. It is indeed quite uplifting while also being very melancholic. While the album is always associated with 60s psychedelic rock, I think there's also an element of shoegaze and dream pop to it as well, It really does remind me of My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, where you have these beautiful, uplifting melodies drenched in buzz and reverb and all sorts of other effects, creating this colorful, emotional and melancholic feeling.
If you guys want to listen to a similar album to this, check out Melody's Echo Chamber's self titled album. She was Kevin's girlfriend at the time (She's the one speaking on Nothing that has....) and they made that album together at the same time as Lonerism, and I always considered it to be the sister album to Lonerism and it's produced and mixed by Kevin and I think he plays some drums and guitar on it as well. It probably leans even more to the dream pop side and it's absolutely amazing.
