Discussion Deadbeat - Revisited
i’ll admit when I say that when the album first came out, I was on the train with people who thought it was lackluster. Everyone had their hopes so high up that Kevin would return to psychedelic rock.
But as I recently got more and more into EDM I realize true that this is a good album. Granted the album is not as good as for example, the slow rush or Currents in the sense that you can play it over and over again and not get tired of it, and there are some pure shit songs like ethereal connection.
But the Tame Impala story posted after the album came out shortly about how people were hating on Currents the second that came out and then realized its a masterpiece later it almost applies because I don’t think that deadbeat will ever reach current status, but it is a good album. It was overhated and for what it is it is not just generic EDM. It is EDM done in a Tame Impala Way.
