Jun 2, 2016When it comes to psych, Kevin Parker is the man, this shows his grow, on all the aspects of his songwriting, instrumentally, mostly as a producer, he even mixed himself, anyway, the hole album its a blast to listen to, from masterful intro "Let It Happen" to the more poppier "The Less I Know the Better", you recognize Parker's signature sound and mixing, this album its just on some other level.

Apr 11, 2017This is Tame Impala's loudest statement yet as to why they are the best psychedelic band in business. Kevin Parker delivers on a wide range of emotion and vocal ability that only begins to scratch the surface of the depth of Currents. This is the album that Tame Impala will be most remembered for.

Nov 16, 2021Currents is the greatest album ever made, it is simply the peak of music, the songs are enjoyable at worst and life changing at best, currents might be the most beautiful piece of art ever created

Jul 17, 2015although I love Lonerism, can't say I miss their guitars here. just in love with the new direction. best album of the year and totally an audiophile's wet dream.
-
Jul 17, 2015I could not imagine a better direction Parker could have taken his music in, it's like a natural change of style that was bound to happen, and it did in this album, and it's dang near perfect. Buy it and listen to it!
-
Jul 17, 2015Seriously a fantastic album from Kevin Parker, each song sparks with diversity from Kevin's unique near perfect production. It delivers on all fronts!!
-
Jul 17, 2015Out with the old, in with the new. Sometimes change can be good, and this album is a fantastic example of that. It stands along with Lonerism, Innerspeaker, and everything else Tame Impala has ever done.
-
Jul 21, 2015It's a solid psych pop/disco record although I'm not a huge fan of Kevin's voice it does have some lush production. After listening to this album, I'm still clueless as to what all the hype is about so I'll guess I'll have to check out the previous 2 Tame Impala records which I've heard a lot of good things about
-

Jul 23, 2015Loveless, Kid A, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Lonerism are recent cases of notable albums (between so many others) which added value, proficiency and responsiveness to break new ground and to propel the momentum towards a future of great abundance of worthwhile music albums. Now, Currents joins the elite marking what should be Tame Impala's most glorious work.

Jul 17, 2015Tame Impala takes their signature psychedelic rock into different territories on "Currents" and I couldn't imagine them doing it any better. It's a beautiful record overall, all thanks to the genius mind of Kevin Parker, it really is a journey into his mind, and I love when artists fully express themselves in their music, Parker successfully does that. One of the best albums of the year!!!

Jul 21, 2015I'm not a critic. I'm a fan. Currents seems that is not Tame Impala. They could change the name of the band. When you totally changes the essence of the band, you will disappoint many fans.
-
Aug 15, 2022Kevin’s watery dreamy vocals alongside hypnotic synths and more makes this album a must listen and one of the best songs 2010’s material.

Sep 5, 2015Well done, a welcome change of pace. Please try out other stuff too and try some of your old stuff next time, as both types of your music is great. .
-
Aug 8, 2015At first listen I didn't dig this album as much has the previous two efforts. However, after many listens it rivals Lonerism as Parker's best. Also a brave move by Parker and shows he is fearless like the very best songwriters. This album is a consummate grower :)
-
Feb 11, 2019Currents is eclectic, although being psychedelic music. Elements as R&B, pop, soft rock, electronic and disco were added and are very welcome, since the majority of musics are good and the album is generally consistent, despite some forgettable musics, but nothing that blows grandiose moments.
-
Aug 7, 2015Tame Impala's vocalist, producer, and songwriter Kevin Parker takes his music to a whole new level of synth-pop, disco, and R&B. My favorite tracks in the album are Let It Happen, The Moment, Eventually, The Less I Know the Better, and New Person, Same Old Mistakes.
SCORE: 9/10 -
Oct 29, 2015One of the greatest albums of the year with a nice adition of electronic drums and less heavier synths it has really good songs in it like: the less i know the better , nangs,yes im changing just to name a few...
-
Jan 5, 2016I was delighted to come across this album right after New Years. Tame Impala's soft vocals mixed in with his futuristic synth sound creates a sonic dream land. Overall this album is excellent.

Sep 7, 2015Currents is a record that tries to be pop, but fails: it is just an indie album for alternative-boy/girl-wannabe. Songs aren't unforgettable and the inspiration seems to be gone. The production is refined and it's the main value of the product.
-
Jul 26, 2015This is the best album of the year (so far). I know what I just said is a bold statement, but I'll stick to it. Kevin Parker's new work is better than its last, 2012's Elephant, and totally different, something that doesn't rub a lot of Tame Impala fans well. Kevin Parker has moved from the guitar-heavy sound of previous albums and uses synthesizers to drive the album's 13 superb tracks.
-
Jul 31, 2015This album is an exceptional pop album... if you skip past life and also don't speak English or look at the lyric sheet. Kevin Parker tries to shoehorn in this poorly written, but interesting in concept, narrative and it just completely kills the album.
-
Dec 24, 2017After creating two of the best modern psychedelic rock albums of modern times a change of direction was a good move for Parker, if not a necessary one. Perhaps not as consistent "song for song" but a success certainly which adds a different flavour their or should I say his discography. 'Let it Happen' a definite highlight.
-
Aug 12, 2015Another great album by this band! The sound is great and the lyrics are just as depressing as a bad romance. Smoke a blunt, dim the lights, sip a cold one and let this album take over your mind.
-
Jul 21, 2015After a cracking opener with Let it Happen, I found the second half of the album a little washed out by comparison, lacking the definitive pop hooks that make Tame Impala unique. It sounded like the spaced out noodling of Pond; maybe Kev has been spending too much time hanging with his mates!

Aug 16, 2015Though Kevin Parker might be "just another disco revivalist" in the eyes of many after hearing his new record Currents, he polishes the style to a high level of listening bliss. 8.6/10

Jan 28, 2016Tame Impala is awesome. Period. The part when the music was stuttering in the middle of the first track was epic. This record is simply a joy to listen to, especially when using earphones or headphones.

Mar 20, 2016First review of an album and I almost felt compelled to do this album because the way it opens with Let It Happen and then I just become fully hypnotized in this record. Only issue is the verse's in Past Life the deep vocals are not really necessary.

Feb 28, 2017This album is a good experiment by Kevin Parker. It's essentially the same as their other stuff, just more airy, and it has disco and soft rock flavours. It's not worse, I just don't like it as much. It's completely a matter of opinion as to what Tame Impala album is your favourite.
-
Feb 19, 2020There is a lot to love here. The bass lines the drums, crazy. Currents might be my favorite tame impala record
-
Jun 10, 2017Hands down, one of my favorite albums of all time. The psychedelic influence + the modern pop-isms make for such a beautiful, hard-hitting album. Kevin Parker's performances and musicianship are some of the best he's ever done.
-
Jul 25, 2017There is something magical about Currents that is not on any other album of this generation. Sure, Kevin's Parker voice is not the best, but keeps getting better in every album.

Feb 23, 2020Let It Happen is a great tune and reminiscent of earlier Tame Impala releases. However, after that I have no interest in the rest of it. It sounds not too far from a 90s boy band trying to be psychedelic. Way too poppy and flat out cheesy for my taste.
-
Sep 29, 2018Embora muitos fãs da banda não achem isso, "Currents" não seguiu a estratégia da produção anterior, "Lonerism" (infelizmente) e aventurou-se no disco e no soft rock. Ainda assim, este álbum é um projeto quase perfeito, sem falhas ("Gossip" e "Past Life" desiludiram um pouco).
-
Aug 24, 2022Tame Impala electro alternative rock is a a success. It's a dizzying feat of production that soars,swoops and crackles with a hypnotic disco. Kevin Parker helmed this fantastic reinvention in the midst of a break up,which informs the records writing . Currents is a really good album from a exceptionally creative band.

Jun 17, 2020What an experience! This is the best of the best when it comes to psych music. It does drag a bit in the back half though.
Best Tracks: Let It Happen, The Less I Know The Better, The Moment, Eventually
Worst Tracks: Past Life -
May 25, 2021Currents is one of the most thrilling LPs I've heard. Tame Impala's signature sound is easily recognizable in every track, and the differences in production throughout the album perfect it.
FAV TRACK: Past Life
LEAST FAV TRACK: Eventually -

Sep 12, 2022it's got growing pains, for sure, but overall, top tier album. the sonic landscapes created by Kevin are like kisses on your ears.
-
Mar 15, 2023Metacritic should consider giving a rating of 11, because 10 is too low for currents.
-
Jun 23, 2023This album is just amazing, Tame Impala takes us to a new level of mixing and makes the sound perfect, there are some excellent songs that will be reminded for all of his career, this album delivers everything it promises and more, one of the best i´ve ever heard

Jul 27, 2015It is sparkling and wistful, and it's quite lovely.

Jul 27, 2015His synth work on this record is nothing short of remarkable, and his ability as a producer is further enhanced to a level at which he has no contemporaries. Parker is a once-in-a-generation talent, and this album is conclusive evidence of it.
