    What do you get if you mix the tremendously talented and visionary Kevin Parker and the utterly charming and hypnotizing Melody Prochet? One of the best and most compelling and addictive albums of not only the last decade, but the whole history of psychedelic rock/pop.

    Unbelievable, perfectly produced by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, insanely good tunes that send you into a state of bliss, Prochet's voice is phenomenal. Plenty of variation with the music, never sticks to one formula for a long period. The only thing preventing it from getting a 10 is the final track, "be proud of your kids" which is fairly irritating. Get it!

    Every song is fantastic and fits together to make a psychedelic masterpiece. I would go so far as to say that it's better than any Tame Impala album to date.

    An absolutely incredible album. Kevin Parker's main project Tame Impala got all of the attention last year, but this is his album that should have been getting the attention. It is a much stronger album, very experimental, with incredible cutting guitar riffs and beautifully brooding synths. The weird noises, the buzzes and the laser sounds fit better with this particular sound than theyAn absolutely incredible album. Kevin Parker's main project Tame Impala got all of the attention last year, but this is his album that should have been getting the attention. It is a much stronger album, very experimental, with incredible cutting guitar riffs and beautifully brooding synths. The weird noises, the buzzes and the laser sounds fit better with this particular sound than they do on Lonerism. Beatles influences are still present, but don't dominate the record as they did on Lonerism, personally I hear more of a Radiohead influence than a Beatles influence here. I also prefer Melody Prochet's singing to Kevin Parker's but that is all personal preference as both are incredible vocalists. I think this is a much better realized album then Lonerism and is Kevin Parker's best work to date. Incredible album, fans of Tame Impala, Psychedelia and Indie Rock should love this album. 10/10, it's as perfect as an album can get!… Expand

    [A] luscious layercake of flange and Echoplex. [Jan 2013, p.90]

    Each song can stand strongly on its own or the entire record can work as a cohesive whole (most records are one or the other).

    Overall, this LP won't appeal to everyone, and it's unlikely that anyone will like everything about it. Still, the music industry could use a lot more innovation, and Prochet definitely offers that.
