Best Tame Impala Album: Currents
To state it bluntly, Currents is Parker’s Magnum Opus. It is his Led Zeppelin IV, it is his Illmatic, it is his Thriller. Currents is what brought Parker into the mainstream and made him a superstar and it is easy to see why. Continuing to develop his work with synths, Currents adds extra flare with disco beats and vulnerable vocals. No matter what kind of music you are a fan of, I find it hard to believe that you will dislike this album.
There are some strong standouts on this Tame Impala album including “Let it Happen”, “The Less I Know the Better” and “Cause I’m A Man”, but in order to truly understand what Tame Impala is, you have to listen to this record in full. Starting with “Let it Happen”, it feels like this whole album builds on itself to create this work that is as technically sound as it is beautiful. Using the guitar sound that we fell in love with on Innerspeaker and fuzzing it up, while partnering that sound with the electronic synths that we heard on Lonerism and Currents almost plays like a linear movie.
You can feel the emotion and all of the hard work that went into this album that Parker completed entirely by himself. If you are a music fan, Currents is a must-listen before you die. You may want to listen to Innerspeaker and Lonerism before to hear how he evolved to this sound. Either way, Currents is a 10/10 album for me and, for whatever my money is worth, it is one of the greatest albums and pieces of art ever created.
