    Chato e totalmente esquecível, principalmente se comparado as antigas obras dele, espero que o próximo não seja essa radiação

    The Slow Rush is the most forgettable album yet from Kevin Parker, and . This album is being labeled as his pop crossover; however, it flops at this attempt as few if not none of the tracks are catchy or memorable in the slightest. Out of the multiple listens two this album only two of the tracks were memorable in the slightest, which is likely the reason why both of them were released asThe Slow Rush is the most forgettable album yet from Kevin Parker, and . This album is being labeled as his pop crossover; however, it flops at this attempt as few if not none of the tracks are catchy or memorable in the slightest. Out of the multiple listens two this album only two of the tracks were memorable in the slightest, which is likely the reason why both of them were released as singles. It is because of this that the album's title takes on a different meaning as every time I tried to listen to The Slow Rush by itself I felt myself wanting to speed through the 57 minutes it drags on through.
    Tame Impala's five years since currents has rewarded us with nothing beyond glorified background music, which is likely the only reason people will come back for a second listen of this uninspired album.    … Expand

    Kevin "Minor Genius" Parker has invented a new genre on this album, though I haven't quite decided whether to call it psych-prog soulfunk or funkprog psych-soul.

    Music to dance and think to? Been done before. Godd Rundgren meets Prince in the lost city of Atlantis? That'll do.

    Unfortunately, after years of anticipation, the reveal is an overtly tedious shell of everything Parker has ever charmed into existence. In fact, tedious may be an understatement.

    It is immaculate music, loaded with little side roads and detours, and I will listen to it probably hundreds of times, but there’s that little something missing, that dagger to my chest, that shiver up my spine that I thought would hit me long before now.

    His knack for alchemising an engrossing trip hasn’t deserted him yet.
