kamalatapes Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 This album was just ok for me. The strengths were song arrangements slightly different variations and decent sound quality. The negatives were the girls screaming their tits off before certain songs and occasional voice cracks. They don't claim it to be a polished record by any means, just read the insert for that and Kevin tells you himself about how shit it is. Essential to any Tame Impala collector? Yes! Pay 50$+ for it? Hell no, not worth it. ratbrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeburns Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks for this review, was really wanting this but it didnt arrive in New Zealand as far as I could see. Was quite gutted I missed it but now not so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j67ab Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I disagree, it's great! I've been listening to it non stop. After seeing them live and hearing this I am stoked! I do agree that you should not pay 50 bucks for it. Listen to it here. Decide for yourself. http://youtu.be/IWj3qbs2QFw Mourning Wood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also heard more interesting arrangements by them :X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 As I posted in the other thread, this is apparently getting a new black vinyl, non limited release around May 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Same deal as last year's RSD release it seems, cool that this will be available for anyone who missed out (although I must say I love the green vinyl of the RSD pressing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping they get an album out before you move to the USA so I can give you money to buy the record from Australia for me (Seems Modular only does color records for Australia at a good price) Then ship from LA to SD!

spoon Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Haha, Kevin would have to have something ready to announce and release in a few months for that to happen. Things can be sweet living in Australia though, I saw them a few times in tiny rooms when they were still just a 3 piece and the last time they toured I was given the option to add a signed Lonerism LP to my ticket order for an additional $20. I switched out the regular jacket from the deluxe edition for the signed one and sold the spare record for around the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeburns Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 ok so now I have to rethink again... looks like I will get the black version when it surfaces, cool that people like it and will listen to it on Youtube tonight to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarostino Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 so my green copy's a-side is cut off-centre and sounds distorted. ive read about that problem on discogs multiple times already and have been trying to get a hold off Modular through [email protected]... anybody got another idea how to get in contact with them to try and replace my copy? i got a second green one for my brother on rsd and his is exactly the same (same shop, so probably same batch of records).

venus sans fur Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 bummer mine has a crooked a-side label but plays through fine. hit the band up direct on twatter @tameimpala maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarostino Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 ha, i just got a response from Modular! Sorry about this. We've discovered that a qty of this pressing was faulty due to the stamper. We're in the process of a re-pressing, in order to replace the faulty copies. they also asked for my postal address and will send out new copies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
