It’s Tame Impala’s version of commercial. So was Currents tbh, I just like the synth pop on that record better.

“Cause I’m a Man” is more of a degenerate pop song than anything on this record lol

This and Currents are the same level of "commercial"

imo this and Currents are not that more commercial than Lonerism. I mean Tame Impala got big because "Elephant" was used in a Blackberry commercial that was inescapable in 2013

Yeah but just because it was used commercially doesn't mean it necessarily sounded commercial. That track was just some blatant Black Sabbath worship, perhaps a different era of rock than they were previously homaging but it still felt like they were just paying tribute to their influences just for the love and joy of it. I do hate that song, but its still not "commercial" sounding in the same sense that I find this

Like based off that argument you could pretty much say most tame impala is commercial because most of their influences were at one point pretty commercial but I mean this sounds commercial for now which means it sounds like they are actively trying to sell something, rather than just homaging some shit and it working out to be popular

I get what you mean about commercialization in terms of it sounding like an artist going through motions, but I don't really get that here. This is just really catchy and accessible, ergo commercially viable (likely to net sales/streams/downloads). Not "created with the intent to be used to sell cars", although it could have been, who the heck knows.
Elephant fucking rocks

"this sounds commercial for now which means it sounds like they are actively trying to sell something"
not sure if this implies going through the motions

Yeah, the impression i get is less "going through the motions" than "aggressively trying to be hip and current"

Pots is kinda right on the radio there's already been 3-4 waves of different tame singles just from this album recent ones being lost in yesterday and is it true

Ah gotcha. Yeah that could be the case. I think most artists try to be ~something~ (aside from the few genuine innovators), so if this is losing points for being a little too trend-chasing I'm okay with that in the grand scheme of things, considering that he must have succeeded in acquiring me as part of his target audience. This is lush and suave sounding. I've probably fallen for less believable acts.
To be clear I don't disagree with your premise, I guess I'm just saying I'm okay with consuming an intentionally curated "product" so long as I enjoy it.

I can only imagine how the radio stations in aus are like as well, it doesn't bother me that it's mainstream...what he was doing in lonerism (definitely Beatles worship) is mainstream 60s psych so him doing bee gees type worship but with some insane production skills is kinda same idea just wayyyy different style so it makes a lot of sense why people dislike more
