Yea this one has more of a funky-techno type vibe with more synth, still prog-rock though. I’m a fan of all 4 albums. I can appreciate both styles.I was a huge fan of Innerspeaker and Lonerism, but disliked Currents . . . a lot. The few tracks I've heard from the new album sound more like Currents than his first two. Since this is the musical direction Parker wants to pursue, I guess I'm no longer a fan.
One More Hour is a masterpiece.I love Tame Impala. Have only heard a couple tracks from this one.
Sounds like computer-generated music to me. And auto-tune, which I hate.

I’m not a boomer, but my musical tastes probably lean that way. Although I do like some newer music like Anderson .Paak, Mac Miller, Lizzo, Cage the Elephant and a few others.Ok boomer
Listened to the two singles... I don’t get it, personally. Seems pretty dragged out with the songs barely going anywhere, without much depth along the wayLove Tame Impala. Currents was the album of the decade for me. I've been holding off listening to Slow Rush because I've been sick and haven't had the time to devote to it yet but it's eating me alive having to wait. Probably the only physical CD purchase I'll make all year.
Almost spat my coffee outprog rock

No, I mean like using a drum machine or computer instead of a human drummer. No idea if that’s what he’s doing, but that’s what it sounds like to me. Like I said, I‘ve never been big on the techno or synth stuff, in large part because I also like to see music performed live, by humans.Yeah, just push a button and your computer will make an album for you! Very convenient /s
It doesn't mean you have to like his music, but Parker is a stupendously talented musician.
Distorting vocals and instruments =/= autotune.
Beach Boys and Pink Floyd used the exact same technique with their vocals to make them sound more trippy.He's always been psychedelic, but went from late 60's/early 70's rock vibe on innerspeaker and has gradually shifted almost completely into what I would call trippy disco. I am into all of it, I like the rock stuff a bit better though.
He has an echo on his vocals, it's not auto-tuned. It adds to the psychedelic vibe.

But again, that’s just my preference. I also missed the second half of the game today because I was watching a live solo acoustic performance from one of my favorite musicians in one of my favorite local venues, so I’m sure my preferences are not shared by many here.
