I can imagine the big indie/alt/Psych artist of the 2040s being interviewed and asked "what's your first memory of music" and that kid being like "I just remember my mom/dad always had Tame Impala playing in the house"
Eventually is one of those songs where you might not feel wowed the first time but it will find you on a random day during a random moment and hit you like a semi it’s insane.
i never really connected to “eventually” until i saw it live during a depressing time in my life and i cried while he played it.. the song really speaks to you when it needs to and it’s one of the best tracks on the album 💖
This is a good point. Live music hits us so differently. Modest Mouse-Ocean breathes salty had me in immense tears. It hit my soul raw like it never did before. It’s an entirely different experience. I wish I can see Tame Impala live sometime in my life.
I love how y’all don’t rate albums. You just listen and enjoy them for what they are and always have so much great commentary to add. I can’t wait to see what ya listen to next
I challenge you with some Briston Maroney. I will listen to what you lay down if you listen to what I lay down. The sunflower visual album is so damn dope from Briston, though.
@@miloparker7828 I think there's just a stigma with this album, it truly is one of the greatest albums ever and there's a lot of those too and it's also entirely subjective lol.
It's one of the few albums that exist with literally no flaws, a modern classic. It's an album that a person who isn't aware of this genre dabbled in, from hard-core hip-hop listeners to hyper-pop listeners. This video is also an instant classic!
Isn't that subjective and based on perception? I like Tame Impala and all but a studio album SHOULD be "flawless". If I ever make a studio album and have as many attempts as I want to perfect what gets put on the album, that sh*t BETTER be "flawless". And there's still going to be people who don't care for it...
Let It Happen is just epic. I had never heard it when I saw them recently in Portland and it blew my mind, plus confetti shot out after the breakdown and it was sweet.
@@shuggieee9467 I had only heard a few of his songs at that time, oddly enough. I see that I watched "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" on RUclips in 2014. The wave song (super psychedelic) was "Apocalypse Dreams" I think.
@@ClayShentrup yesssss absolutely!!!! Apocalypse dream! I couldn’t remember the name but I had a wicked sense of euphoria when that song came on. I’m so glad I discovered them.
Can’t believe Kevin didn’t really think much of eventually. For me it’s the best track on the album, from the production to the lyrics and the outro this track is 10/10!
To be fair on first listen it's hard. Eventually is a song that really grew on me a year or so after the album came out. I don't know why but one day I listened to it and it just hit me like a brick.
The thing that is incredible about Tame Impala is his ability to use reverb and wub wub to litterally make it seem like the sound is hitting different parts of your brain. Like you can feel the sound moving in your head. Listening to him is like entering into pleasant mind control.
Funny thing is the song/word "Nangs" is slang for a method of consuming nitrous oxide. When you experience it, there is a quite a drowning wub wub wub sound as depicted in the song. It is fleeting and thus the song is short as mentioned by the father.
As a tame impala superfan i love seeing someone get as excited as i do to listen to his music and i wish i could to listen to currents again for the first time
@@keirandemelo4490 if you're 'were' a super fan, then u would know Kevin Parker's great great grandfathers second cousin is a life long vegetarian and don't eat chicken
The first time I heard “Let it Happen” I was like god damn why is it so long, cause I was always waiting for the guitar solo (yes I got the song from TT shame on me) little did I know after a few more listens it would become my favorite song of all time across all genres. Seeing it live was a Top 5 moment in my life so far.

Literally the same for me too. I heard the riff on a Ford commercial and listened to the actual song after. Was not impressed. But a few years later I listened more and it quickly became a top 5 song of mine.
this guy's dad is cool as hell, and funny, never seen this channel or a father son music review duo. This is awesome fellas, I'll be tuning in from here forward
I just saw Tame Impala at Buku in NoLa and it was by far greatest performance I've ever seen. The ring light and the lasers where insane. Took a little Molly and Acid soon as he started off with (Eventually) straight to tears .... Beautiful I think everyone should see him at least once if they enjoy psychedelic rock. His Concerts are usually quiet expensive though around 150 bucks
Kevin Parker has said in interviews how important live recording, especially from drums, is to him. He said you can't get the same feel out of synthesized drums. Honestly, I think I understand him. I used to feel differently, especially knowing you can add swing and stuff to synth drums. But damn. The clear and crisp sound of those drums, and the personality in the playing, it's just unmatchable.
This album was THE breakup album of my 20's. I used to drive around my hometown and listen to this for hours on end. Incredibly soothing and cathartic.
Facts. I first heard this album back in 2016. That was also the first year I got my Challenger. I'd drive around for hours bumping this album, specifically Eventually and New Person, Same Mistakes. At the same time, this was also the year I broke up with my GF. Curents just hit so much harder afterwards.
I was in a happy relationship all throughout the years of Currents, and then absolutely suffering through that traumatic breakup when The Slow Rush came out. It was honestly a yin and yang thing that worked out kind of beautifully, those albums together mean a ton to me.
omg same, broke up with my gf of 3 years, went home, put my headphones on, blasted currents all the way through lying down on my floor looking at the ceiling, cried quite a bit
I discovered Tame Impala accidentally and immediately fell in love. I’m not a music buff and don’t really explore new stuff. In fact, I mostly listen to the same 8-10 albums I enjoyed during my teens. But Tame Impala’s music was something I was just immediately drawn to and I’m so grateful for having stumbled on to his music. This is so up my alley!
I never hear anyone talk about Nangs and it’s such a cool little track! The name is based on the Aussie term for whippets and it’s designed to mimic the feeling of doing one. Even the length of track matches up with the short high you get from them. Such a cheeky Easter egg IMO
this makes total sense, never realised this before!! my man has definitely analyzed his past experiences with whippets lol, that droning at the beginning as you’re the highest on your hit and then the ebbing into more ethereal music as the high wears is peeeeerfect. not planning on doing whippets anytime soon but i gotta keep this song in mind for if i ever do find myself in that situation again lol
Disciples is a song I don't ever hear anyone talk about but it is just pure ear candy. I'm with y'all in wishing it was longer, but what's there is absolute bliss. I must've put that song on repeat and listened to it 20 times in a row when it first came out.
Eventually is SO damn good, hard to believe your pops wasn't that impressed with it! We all connect differently to things, so it's understandable, but I'm def a little saddened by it lol
@@osprey0422 from left to right: Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell Elliott Smith - Either/Or Kacey Musgraves - Golden Hour Nick Drake - Pink Moon I’ve not heard Golden Hour myself, but I can vouch for the other three being pretty amazing
I’ve learned a few things about mixing and mastering my music better just from listening to the things your dad says in response to the music. Appreciate these videos.
if you've never checked him out, i'd reccomend "the mercurial number six" he does music reactions just like this and he really knows his stuff. some of the insights he gives on albums ive heard a thousand times are really interesting
Grew up with no dad, plenty of friends and loving family, just absent father. It's so odd and refreshing seeing how similar and hilarious you two are. I've been told I'm a clone copy of my father, and that he was also a goofball like me, fellow metalhead also. Jealous to say the least. Keep being original, you two are just as much a comedy duo as you are a family haha 🤙
I would like to see Dad choose one or a few of his fave LPs and have Son react! Maybe for a holiday special? I'd assume that he's already played a few albums for his son, but surely he's got some fun stuff for them to react to or revisit :)
Same with me, but instead of lsd is was shrooms with some of my best buds. A windy day on a mountain with tall green grass. Literally felt like I found heaven.
Oh ill never forget the first time i listened to this album. I was in high school, at lunch my friend was listening to it and she gave me an earphone. i really enjoyed it. That night when i got home i had forgotten my keys and nobody was home so i decided to lay down on a chair in my backyard and listened to the whole thing while waiting for someone to come home. That same night my friend and i bought tickets for their show. I was 15 and it was the first concert i ever went to. I dont think anything is ever gonna top that experience. That album made me fall in love with music.
That sounds like an absolute vibe and a half! I think I found Tame Impala from TikTok comp (I know, I'm a heretic, just toss me into the fire already). The specific thing had a slowed version of the Bassline from Let It Happen and it about knocked my socks off. Found the song, put it on blast, and I'm fairly certain I spent 8 minutes outside my body that night. Such a good album, but Let It Happen will always hold a special place in my heart. Also, Tame Impala is honestly making me consider the idea of learning how to read music n such and learn to play the Bass Guitar (or a Guitar in general), so here's to hoping that goes well lmao Edit: Just realized how recent your comment was, glad to see new people finding this video! It's hilarious
@@Slims222 Yeah I feel like when you have a "bad trip" it's because you are (unconsciously) struggling with stuff in your life. "Bad trips" takes those things to the forefront so you have to deal with it.
I lost my father when I was 9. He was a part time DJ while also being the Director of a Music Store in Portugal. The legacy he left me are more than 1500 vinyl records, DJ setups, etc.. I get sad for thinking he couldn´t had the opportunity to see me grow and enjoy the good taste in music that he inspired and left me. Seing all your videos, makes me happy because I can imagine doing the same with my dad if he would be around. Keep doing a great work together, really like your channel :)
I like that they brought up the fact that there's a lot of breakup dialogue in this album because it came out within a month of my first major breakup...it was something that was so key in putting my thoughts to words and bringing me peace, letting go of the other person and feeling like waiting for them would be a mistake... kudos to this album for helping all the heartbreaks like mine!
i play this videos while i do literally everything. i like to listen to music album at a time, and getting to listen to the album with an open minded father and his son is just so cool
They have uncut versions on their patron, I'm seriously considering supporting them over there cause I love listening to these in the background whilst I do stuff
I feel like I have lived under a god damn rock. How have I missed Tame Impala and this album? I do recognize "Let It Happen", but holy shat am I glad that RUclips algorithm put this video of yours in my feed. This album is a masterpiece. So much eargasm!
I've grown to prefer Lonerism a lot more but this is such a great intro to modern Psychedelic-Pop/Rock and other fuzed Psych genres with R&B and Hip-Hop. Definitely a hallmark album in the 2010s.
I think I like InnerSpeaker more than Lonerism. InnerSpeaker is way more 70's psychedelic rock inspired I feel like. My dad made me grow up on stuff like pink floyds Echoes, Animals, Ummagumma and more from other bands. It just fits me more.
I really appreciate your thoughtful comments and genuine engagement with each track, it truly felt like I was listening to the album for the first time with good friends. Disciples is a masterpiece, for sure
i love your guys's relationship. I never knew parental relationships could be so free and genuinely friendly/friendlike. Makes me so happy and heals my inner child :')
Fun fact: In Australia a Nang is the colloquial term for a wippet (nitrous dioxide bulb) which are a pretty big part of party culture over here and for anyone who has ever experienced one, I'm sure you can understand Kevin's naming of the track.
You just introduced me to Mac Miller which is freaking eye opening and now I see you are listening to one of my favorites. I didn't know other people were moved by music like I am... what a relief
Hey guys, I'm sure you probably won't see this among the swarm of comments you're getting now that you're blowing up, but I just want you to be prepared for when you REALLY blow up, because it's going to happen - and let me tell you why: The relationship you two have is heartwarming and is unlike anything I've seen on other reaction videos. As much as I love this album, and many of the previous albums you've reviewed, the reason I keep coming back is not the music but to revel in the open, natural, beautiful father-son relationship you two have. It's captivating and I'm sure that most people here agree. Keep doing what you're doing!
Yeah also I would love if they continue picking more diverse album not only rap and hip hop. They are so much genre out there it will be sad to only stick to one.
This made me cry multiple times because this is my favorite band and I love that you are doing something special like this with each other as father and son. This is so cool.
I truly love how conversational your videos are. The way that you and your dad interact together is great to witness. My father passed away when I was 5 and I miss him more and more as I get older. Watching your conversations and connection together makes me feel so safe. Thank you
Yes I’m Changing has definitely become my favorite song on this album. It’s the best for driving late at night and reflecting. It made me emotional to hear your dads reaction ❤️
I saw him live in concert, and he is prob one of the most talented, amazing, hardworking artist I’ve ever listened to! He truly he is a living legend!!
I was laying on my bed. Super sad, my lights were turned off. The only light in my room was coming from my computer. The song started playing and I instantly felt relieved! Went from crying to laying on my bed thinking about life! So amazing.
During a very depressing point in my life I played this album daily for what seemed like 2 years. At some point it dawned on me that I had been listening to it for so long. I can't remember the last time an album grabbed ahold of me so fast and for so long. It took years to shake this album. Slow rush was the only thing that snapped me out of it. I have to believe that Parker did it intentionally. Perhaps he's just so tuned in to the human experience of my generation.
not only did you guys react to great music as well as add you own commentary, but you guys treat this like a podcast almost with the joking and conversation between and during songs. incredible and you’ve gained a new subscriber for sure. thank you for displaying and explaining my biggest icon well, he is a true genius.
Definitely see Tame Impala live! Went 2 months ago and it was the best concert of my life! Great video guys, can’t wait for slow rush and the older tame albums. All of the music is so good
i had floor tockets i bought for the original 2020 show and he came to dallas two days ago and what do i test positive for two days before? covid😭😭😭 it was gonna be my first time seeing him too
Man this takes me back to when I used to manage a metal band. We'd just sit around for hours and listen to different songs and they'd analyze it while I'd just sit back and enjoy. It's so awesome seeing people in their element.
I wanted to listen to this album without the depression, so this seems like a god balance, before i ball out my eyes, i see two friends on the screen talking through it
During Nangs your dad was saying how he could hear Frank on this. There is a a guy that mixed Blonde and Currents and its AMAZING. its on youtube. Franks vocals over Currents is flawless.
I live in Victoria, Australia. Tame Impala did a national tour of our country and visited our small city of Geelong. They played in a small bar to no more than 100 people circa 2009 after the release of their first EP and the Sundown Syndrome EP. It’s so cool to see how far they’ve come throughout the last decade! Back then, everyone thought Tame Impala was more of a traditional band. But then after Currents came out, Kev was more open about how it was really primarily him doing the writing, recording and producing.
You guys should do an album ranking at the end of the year. It would be super cool to revisit some of the albums you’ve reviewed and see how your thoughts or feelings have evolved on them over time
I first heard this album a few years ago and last relistened to it just the other day. I still think it's perfect or nearly perfect, one of my favorites of all time. Kinda wild how in the space of first finding Currents and now I've discovered new artists, made new favorites, and eventually burned out on those favorites a little bit, but this is still strong as ever.
Can’t believe this album will soon be a decade old. It hasn’t aged a day in quality. You and your dad seem to have a great relationship! Very wholesome to see
This is seriously such an amazing series. I'm close with my father and we both are in love with some of the same music but it is such a great feeling to experience loving music with another person, especially in that type of relationship. You both are awesome. Thanks for these
Glad you guys finally did Tame Impala. I got my dad into them after this album came out and we’re going to see them in LA next week. If your dad is interested in the rest of their discography you should have him react to their live shows. In my opinion Tame is meant to be enjoyed live. Their visuals and set design really put the whole thing together
Nangs was made about the inhalant drug Nitrous Oxide (NOs, Nangs, Whippets, Cream Chargers) it's a short intense high around the same length as the song. The song was created to make the listener feel what the buildup of a person inhaling a 'nang' feels like and how the intense high sounds and feels. Kevin was spot on with this, and I found it hilarious how you wished it was longer, which is exactly the same idea of a nang addict
I just want y'all to know, I have come back to listen to your commentary on this album at least three times because it is one of my favorite albums and y'all just get it. It brings me joy to see you love it just as much!
It wasn’t until after my breakup and listening to eventually that I finally realized the beauty of this song. I avoided it so long because somehow, it spoke into my relationship and I just couldn’t go through with it. I’m glad I’m able to appreciate it now though 💕💕💕
Just started getting into tame impala and im absolutely addicted. theres something about his music thats different than any other music ive ever heard and i cant stop listening. The first song i heard was eventually, then the less i know the better made me want to keep listening to more. Its amazing when you find a new artist. I feel so many emotions from his music, its insane.
This was so nice to see someone who really gets music listen to and appreciate tame impala's currents in full for the first time...I had the same thought about the record skipping in let it happen! Lol great video, thanks for uploading 😄
I'm very grateful fot this channel. Great stuff guys, I love Currents, it gets me very inspired. I first listened 6 years ago and I can't get over it. Let it Happen can easily be nominated best Tame Impala song.
I remember reading about Currents on one of those best albums of the year lists in December of ‘15, been on that Tame Impala train ever since. God bless both Kevin’s 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Saw Tame live and my boyfriend and I said told eachother we love you for the first time… something about this song and the lights and the entire vibe of the show… we literally both said it at the same time
I just took a deep dive to tame impala. been listening to music A LOT most of my life. there really isn’t anything like this I’ve ever heard. It’s eye opening. Life changing. probably the best artist I’ve ever heard. I’m in awe. yes I’m changing is the most impactful song I’ve ever heard in my life l believe. unreal talent man
Dude, this is fantastic. Such a perfect point to do this album with the context you've developed so far. I know you guys probably wont see this but I just wanted to say thank you and that I'm so invested in the musical journey you've curated so far. Love the videos guys, thanks for doing this!

ooff, i remember too, shouting EVENTUALLY in the live concert like my life depended on it
It also has one of the best outros ever imo
I say this all the time but I am legitimately jealous of anybody who gets to experience this album for the first time.
lol i just did when this video came out. 5 days later and I've already listened to this album and the slow rush multiple times at the gym.
Sometimes some songs needs to grow on you.... So the first time you may not like it.
Did you not have a first listening experience with this album?

The clear and crisp sound of those drums, and the personality in the playing, it's just unmatchable.
He used a drum machine primarily on currents though. But yeah in other albums yes
This album was THE breakup album of my 20's. I used to drive around my hometown and listen to this for hours on end. Incredibly soothing and cathartic.
Facts. I first heard this album back in 2016. That was also the first year I got my Challenger. I'd drive around for hours bumping this album, specifically Eventually and New Person, Same Mistakes.
At the same time, this was also the year I broke up with my GF. Curents just hit so much harder afterwards.
literally SAME
same bro a J and yes im changing got me through so much shit
I was in a happy relationship all throughout the years of Currents, and then absolutely suffering through that traumatic breakup when The Slow Rush came out. It was honestly a yin and yang thing that worked out kind of beautifully, those albums together mean a ton to me.
omg same, broke up with my gf of 3 years, went home, put my headphones on, blasted currents all the way through lying down on my floor looking at the ceiling, cried quite a bit
I'm so jealous of the relationship you guys have. You really have so much fun together like friends do. I wish I had this with my parents. Cherish it!
same, wish i was this close to my dad
we will be dads like this instead
@@p5ych ! Exactly what I’m trying to do as a father. Be closer with my children
Wish I had a dad, much less one like this. But yeah this is definitely the type of father I want to be
I discovered Tame Impala accidentally and immediately fell in love. I’m not a music buff and don’t really explore new stuff. In fact, I mostly listen to the same 8-10 albums I enjoyed during my teens. But Tame Impala’s music was something I was just immediately drawn to and I’m so grateful for having stumbled on to his music. This is so up my alley!
Same for me about 6 years ago. I’m so hooked on Kevin’s sound that I can tell when he collabs w/other artists
the banter in this one was really something
naranja
Goat channels
❤️🙏
@@kevinfromttt papa
We need a collab
Let It Fappen
Aint no way you‘re watching these guys as well! The greatest motion graphic Channel!
i say the same fucking thing when singing that song LOL
Didn't expect to see you here, what a welcome surprise
let it fappen-ing
I love the little bat! I remember seeing your video where it came from haha!
I never hear anyone talk about Nangs and it’s such a cool little track! The name is based on the Aussie term for whippets and it’s designed to mimic the feeling of doing one. Even the length of track matches up with the short high you get from them. Such a cheeky Easter egg IMO
WOW I never new that 😮 I love that fun fact
this makes total sense, never realised this before!! my man has definitely analyzed his past experiences with whippets lol, that droning at the beginning as you’re the highest on your hit and then the ebbing into more ethereal music as the high wears is peeeeerfect. not planning on doing whippets anytime soon but i gotta keep this song in mind for if i ever do find myself in that situation again lol
“All that unfamiliar stuff becomes familiar, and then you crave it”. This man gets it.
Appreciate you guys 🙏
well gosh fricken dang
❤️🙏
Disciples is a song I don't ever hear anyone talk about but it is just pure ear candy. I'm with y'all in wishing it was longer, but what's there is absolute bliss. I must've put that song on repeat and listened to it 20 times in a row when it first came out.
same tbh
Disciples is such a sweet short song, it's a perfect length imo
Yes yes yes
Super super underrated. And you’re right, it’s short length makes it very endearing and leaves you wanting more, but it still feels complete!
the part with the switch cutting the tape hiss is such a small detail but its so cool
One of the best indie albums of our time. Your dad has great taste. I wish my dad was this open to music that I like 😅. Anyways great vid!
*albums in general*
i wish i had a dad
Just the best indie album ever.
My dad doesn't lisen to music at all
holy shit its lil uzi vert
Eventually is SO damn good, hard to believe your pops wasn't that impressed with it! We all connect differently to things, so it's understandable, but I'm def a little saddened by it lol
Ye. One of Tame Impalas best tracks
kind of song that people have to listen to more than once and then you realize it is one of the best tracks ever ! love it!
Eventually live is something else
eventually is in my top 5 of all time, such an amazing track
totally agree with you.. when he said he wasnt that impressed, i was like what.. HOW??!!
The relationship you guys have makes these videos a million times better. Much love for you two and the whole family
Now your dad is a certified quirky indie kid
Also, prime collection of classic sad boy albums on the wall
It ain’t S A D B O Y S if there ain’t Yung Lean 🤌🖤
what albums are they?
@@osprey0422 from left to right:
Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell
Elliott Smith - Either/Or
Kacey Musgraves - Golden Hour
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
I’ve not heard Golden Hour myself, but I can vouch for the other three being pretty amazing
I’ve learned a few things about mixing and mastering my music better just from listening to the things your dad says in response to the music. Appreciate these videos.
Same, definitely a great resource for thinking about how people may perceive the music you put out
if you've never checked him out, i'd reccomend "the mercurial number six" he does music reactions just like this and he really knows his stuff. some of the insights he gives on albums ive heard a thousand times are really interesting
Grew up with no dad, plenty of friends and loving family, just absent father.
It's so odd and refreshing seeing how similar and hilarious you two are. I've been told I'm a clone copy of my father, and that he was also a goofball like me, fellow metalhead also.
Jealous to say the least. Keep being original, you two are just as much a comedy duo as you are a family haha 🤙
I would like to see Dad choose one or a few of his fave LPs and have Son react! Maybe for a holiday special? I'd assume that he's already played a few albums for his son, but surely he's got some fun stuff for them to react to or revisit :)
I agree!
Yes!!
Agreed
Listened to this album for the very first time while off a tab of lsd. The experience it took me on is impossible to formulate into words.
The dreams of me, to just re-experience the album but with psychedelics
Same…I will never forget it
@@leslievi SAME WITH BEACH HOUSE
Same and i felt like the tracklist was speaking to me
Same with me, but instead of lsd is was shrooms with some of my best buds. A windy day on a mountain with tall green grass. Literally felt like I found heaven.
Oh ill never forget the first time i listened to this album. I was in high school, at lunch my friend was listening to it and she gave me an earphone. i really enjoyed it. That night when i got home i had forgotten my keys and nobody was home so i decided to lay down on a chair in my backyard and listened to the whole thing while waiting for someone to come home. That same night my friend and i bought tickets for their show. I was 15 and it was the first concert i ever went to. I dont think anything is ever gonna top that experience. That album made me fall in love with music.
That sounds like an absolute vibe and a half!
I think I found Tame Impala from TikTok comp (I know, I'm a heretic, just toss me into the fire already). The specific thing had a slowed version of the Bassline from Let It Happen and it about knocked my socks off. Found the song, put it on blast, and I'm fairly certain I spent 8 minutes outside my body that night. Such a good album, but Let It Happen will always hold a special place in my heart.
Also, Tame Impala is honestly making me consider the idea of learning how to read music n such and learn to play the Bass Guitar (or a Guitar in general), so here's to hoping that goes well lmao
Edit: Just realized how recent your comment was, glad to see new people finding this video! It's hilarious
I love this story!❤
I listened to this album on 4 grams of shrooms and cried so much. I thought I was insane for a while and then I realized I should treat my mom better.
would you consider it a bad trip or a good one?
@@Slims222 I don't believe in bad trips
@@rightnearthebeach does that prevent them from happening? law of attraction type thing?
@@Slims222 it means that whether I had a good time or a bad time, it was a positive experience.
@@Slims222 Yeah I feel like when you have a "bad trip" it's because you are (unconsciously) struggling with stuff in your life. "Bad trips" takes those things to the forefront so you have to deal with it.
The 2nd half of let it happen is probably the best thing that’s ever happened musically if we are all being honest
Yes. Just yes.
so true
I was on shrooms and thought I was going insane because of that song
Musical perfection
that riff is just so nuts
I lost my father when I was 9. He was a part time DJ while also being the Director of a Music Store in Portugal. The legacy he left me are more than 1500 vinyl records, DJ setups, etc.. I get sad for thinking he couldn´t had the opportunity to see me grow and enjoy the good taste in music that he inspired and left me. Seing all your videos, makes me happy because I can imagine doing the same with my dad if he would be around. Keep doing a great work together, really like your channel :)
E tu seguiste as pegadas do teu Pai como DJ? Forte abraço
@joseOliveira-mp6lw Boas, não segui mas quero fazer um curso para aprender a mexer em tudo!
I see that Elliott in the background 😍😍
Jon give us an Elliott video pls
bro react to elliott pls it’d make me happy
Yooo jon
Wait so all the folks I follow happen to watch all the things I do?
JD the Prophet, out here
I like that they brought up the fact that there's a lot of breakup dialogue in this album because it came out within a month of my first major breakup...it was something that was so key in putting my thoughts to words and bringing me peace, letting go of the other person and feeling like waiting for them would be a mistake... kudos to this album for helping all the heartbreaks like mine!
Love that for you 🦋
ahhh I love that for you!! I listened to this album shortly after my first major breakup too. it felt very timely :)
Waiting for them would be a mistake. Very nice, dawg.
7:52 I saw Kevin play Let it happen live at a festival and it was at sunset and I can tell you it was one of the best music experiences I've ever had.
You guys should really make this into a podcast format. Would love to listen to this on a commute.
i would listen to that 24/7
i play this videos while i do literally everything. i like to listen to music album at a time, and getting to listen to the album with an open minded father and his son is just so cool
so yes i agree😩
would be lowkey problematic with copyright
They have uncut versions on their patron, I'm seriously considering supporting them over there cause I love listening to these in the background whilst I do stuff
Watching these is like bonding with a father I never had
I feel like I have lived under a god damn rock. How have I missed Tame Impala and this album? I do recognize "Let It Happen", but holy shat am I glad that RUclips algorithm put this video of yours in my feed. This album is a masterpiece. So much eargasm!
I've grown to prefer Lonerism a lot more but this is such a great intro to modern Psychedelic-Pop/Rock and other fuzed Psych genres with R&B and Hip-Hop. Definitely a hallmark album in the 2010s.
I think I like InnerSpeaker more than Lonerism. InnerSpeaker is way more 70's psychedelic rock inspired I feel like. My dad made me grow up on stuff like pink floyds Echoes, Animals, Ummagumma and more from other bands. It just fits me more.
Lonerism came out on my birthday 😈
Lonerism really does get to me
who asked you nerd
Wtf are you talking about
I really appreciate your thoughtful comments and genuine engagement with each track, it truly felt like I was listening to the album for the first time with good friends. Disciples is a masterpiece, for sure
i love your guys's relationship. I never knew parental relationships could be so free and genuinely friendly/friendlike. Makes me so happy and heals my inner child
:')
Fun fact: In Australia a Nang is the colloquial term for a wippet (nitrous dioxide bulb) which are a pretty big part of party culture over here and for anyone who has ever experienced one, I'm sure you can understand Kevin's naming of the track.
now i need full explanation 😮
@@satyapura7253 the way the track comes in, the warbling bass and synth stabs, emulates the auditory effects you get from enjoying a huff of nitrous
lmfao fuken wippets
that fuckin WAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWA
yesss!! i commented this too! crazy thing huh
The bassline at the end of Let It Happen is one of my favorite moments in any Tame Impala song. Kevin Parker is an amazing bassist
You just introduced me to Mac Miller which is freaking eye opening and now I see you are listening to one of my favorites. I didn't know other people were moved by music like I am... what a relief
Hey guys, I'm sure you probably won't see this among the swarm of comments you're getting now that you're blowing up, but I just want you to be prepared for when you REALLY blow up, because it's going to happen - and let me tell you why:
The relationship you two have is heartwarming and is unlike anything I've seen on other reaction videos. As much as I love this album, and many of the previous albums you've reviewed, the reason I keep coming back is not the music but to revel in the open, natural, beautiful father-son relationship you two have. It's captivating and I'm sure that most people here agree. Keep doing what you're doing!
Tbh i prefer you guys doing a variety of artists than sticking to any one artist’s discography. Keeps things fresh
I like it. If they'd just binged through the Kanye discog it would have gotten so boring, I'm glad they're spacing it out
I think what they're doing is excellent going back and forth based on what gets the best vibes
@@arthurdunn07 Kanye’s album are different and I enjoy his dad reaction to “our music”.
Yeah also I would love if they continue picking more diverse album not only rap and hip hop. They are so much genre out there it will be sad to only stick to one.
I agree, there is so much out there to listen to. Don’t want to fall into a hole of the same artist/genres.
This reaction, when it came out a year ago, is what made me a fan of Tame Impala and had me listening to all of his music. Thank you for that!
This made me cry multiple times because this is my favorite band and I love that you are doing something special like this with each other as father and son. This is so cool.
dude is guiding his dad through psychedelic trip "you can close your eyes at this point"
Hehe
I truly love how conversational your videos are. The way that you and your dad interact together is great to witness. My father passed away when I was 5 and I miss him more and more as I get older. Watching your conversations and connection together makes me feel so safe. Thank you
❤️
Yes I’m Changing has definitely become my favorite song on this album. It’s the best for driving late at night and reflecting. It made me emotional to hear your dads reaction ❤️
your dad is so open minded and chill. love this!
You want a piece of that, don't you?
Especially when he brought up the "rub one out song" to his son- 💀🤣
every once in a while i go back to this album and get obssesed with it, truly one of my favorites of all time.
I saw him live in concert, and he is prob one of the most talented, amazing, hardworking artist I’ve ever listened to! He truly he is a living legend!!
Who remembers their first listen to “Let it happen”? What did it make you feel?
Like I was in another world fam.
erethral
still can't really say
I was laying on my bed. Super sad, my lights were turned off. The only light in my room was coming from my computer. The song started playing and I instantly felt relieved! Went from crying to laying on my bed thinking about life! So amazing.
It made me feel things 😩
During a very depressing point in my life I played this album daily for what seemed like 2 years. At some point it dawned on me that I had been listening to it for so long. I can't remember the last time an album grabbed ahold of me so fast and for so long. It took years to shake this album. Slow rush was the only thing that snapped me out of it. I have to believe that Parker did it intentionally. Perhaps he's just so tuned in to the human experience of my generation.
not only did you guys react to great music as well as add you own commentary, but you guys treat this like a podcast almost with the joking and conversation between and during songs. incredible and you’ve gained a new subscriber for sure. thank you for displaying and explaining my biggest icon well, he is a true genius.
Definitely see Tame Impala live! Went 2 months ago and it was the best concert of my life! Great video guys, can’t wait for slow rush and the older tame albums. All of the music is so good
i had floor tockets i bought for the original 2020 show and he came to dallas two days ago and what do i test positive for two days before? covid😭😭😭 it was gonna be my first time seeing him too
@@krystadyer6079 omg NO way! That is just tragic.. the videos don’t do justice.. you had to have been there to get the full experience.
Just saw him last week. Amazing
Man this takes me back to when I used to manage a metal band. We'd just sit around for hours and listen to different songs and they'd analyze it while I'd just sit back and enjoy. It's so awesome seeing people in their element.
I wanted to listen to this album without the depression, so this seems like a god balance, before i ball out my eyes, i see two friends on the screen talking through it
A father and son no less
During Nangs your dad was saying how he could hear Frank on this. There is a a guy that mixed Blonde and Currents and its AMAZING. its on youtube. Franks vocals over Currents is flawless.
yeah i listened to the mix, its the best thing ever
Could you send a link?

I live in Victoria, Australia. Tame Impala did a national tour of our country and visited our small city of Geelong. They played in a small bar to no more than 100 people circa 2009 after the release of their first EP and the Sundown Syndrome EP. It’s so cool to see how far they’ve come throughout the last decade!
Back then, everyone thought Tame Impala was more of a traditional band. But then after Currents came out, Kev was more open about how it was really primarily him doing the writing, recording and producing.
This makes me excited to be a dad. You guys are the best, love the relationship you both have. Thank you for the awesome content.
Same feeling. All the best in your fatherhood fellow commenter
Hopefully some day you can do some LCD SOUNDSYSTEM - this is happening or sound of silver, I think your dad would love these albums
Yes! This Is Happening is one of my favorite albums ever, but Sound of Silver might be a better starting point if you’ve never heard LCD before
This is Happening +1
This Is Happening is the one!
Both!! Hell yeah
7:45 “yea I get that feeling too” lol I love when you can connect on something so specific and weird like that over music
You guys should do an album ranking at the end of the year. It would be super cool to revisit some of the albums you’ve reviewed and see how your thoughts or feelings have evolved on them over time
I first heard this album a few years ago and last relistened to it just the other day. I still think it's perfect or nearly perfect, one of my favorites of all time. Kinda wild how in the space of first finding Currents and now I've discovered new artists, made new favorites, and eventually burned out on those favorites a little bit, but this is still strong as ever.
Can’t believe this album will soon be a decade old. It hasn’t aged a day in quality.
You and your dad seem to have a great relationship! Very wholesome to see
Best music ever. Lifts you up and gets your day going. Kevin is a genius.
This album healed me in so many occasions
This is seriously such an amazing series. I'm close with my father and we both are in love with some of the same music but it is such a great feeling to experience loving music with another person, especially in that type of relationship. You both are awesome. Thanks for these
I have a complicated relationship with my dad, we get along but he doesn't let you get too close but I can live vicariously through these two.
Glad you guys finally did Tame Impala. I got my dad into them after this album came out and we’re going to see them in LA next week. If your dad is interested in the rest of their discography you should have him react to their live shows. In my opinion Tame is meant to be enjoyed live. Their visuals and set design really put the whole thing together
Is it the concert at the Hollywood Bowl? We might be going to the same one!
@@cindyuong2952 yeah it was at the hollywood bowl… I was there and it was sick
@@ajthekid1256 fr!, it was amazing
Nangs was made about the inhalant drug Nitrous Oxide (NOs, Nangs, Whippets, Cream Chargers) it's a short intense high around the same length as the song. The song was created to make the listener feel what the buildup of a person inhaling a 'nang' feels like and how the intense high sounds and feels. Kevin was spot on with this, and I found it hilarious how you wished it was longer, which is exactly the same idea of a nang addict
I just want y'all to know, I have come back to listen to your commentary on this album at least three times because it is one of my favorite albums and y'all just get it. It brings me joy to see you love it just as much!
"Eventually" is one of Kevin's best tracks ever. I hope his opinion has changed.
It wasn’t until after my breakup and listening to eventually that I finally realized the beauty of this song. I avoided it so long because somehow, it spoke into my relationship and I just couldn’t go through with it. I’m glad I’m able to appreciate it now though 💕💕💕
Just started getting into tame impala and im absolutely addicted. theres something about his music thats different than any other music ive ever heard and i cant stop listening. The first song i heard was eventually, then the less i know the better made me want to keep listening to more. Its amazing when you find a new artist. I feel so many emotions from his music, its insane.
let it happen is the greatest song ever created. point blank period.
This is correct.
Yes great song but better than Echos or time by Pink Floyd no way.
Not even better than Apocalypse Dreams
@@bauer444 echoes is just incredible
@@bauer444 Eagles - Hotel California, and i guess i came up with the actual zenith of music
This was so nice to see someone who really gets music listen to and appreciate tame impala's currents in full for the first time...I had the same thought about the record skipping in let it happen! Lol great video, thanks for uploading 😄
I'm very grateful fot this channel. Great stuff guys, I love Currents, it gets me very inspired. I first listened 6 years ago and I can't get over it. Let it Happen can easily be nominated best Tame Impala song.
I remember reading about Currents on one of those best albums of the year lists in December of ‘15, been on that Tame Impala train ever since. God bless both Kevin’s 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I remember the first time listening to tame impala and it was "eventually" and I just danced and it was amazing 😭
For real
Saw Tame live and my boyfriend and I said told eachother we love you for the first time… something about this song and the lights and the entire vibe of the show… we literally both said it at the same time
@@Averie1999 adorable
I just took a deep dive to tame impala. been listening to music A LOT most of my life. there really isn’t anything like this I’ve ever heard. It’s eye opening. Life changing. probably the best artist I’ve ever heard. I’m in awe. yes I’m changing is the most impactful song I’ve ever heard in my life l believe. unreal talent man
Dude, this is fantastic. Such a perfect point to do this album with the context you've developed so far. I know you guys probably wont see this but I just wanted to say thank you and that I'm so invested in the musical journey you've curated so far. Love the videos guys, thanks for doing this!
Thanks James for the support!
Conclusion: the entire album is a MASTERPIECE!
I’m so jealous he’s listening to it for the first time while simultaneously experiencing so much joy for and with him as he experiences every song
YES! More Tame Impala please, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Kev's newest album.
totally unrelated but you’re so gorgeous! and we share the similar subscriptions so that’s cool :))
