As far as current psychpop goes and as far as Tame Impala has gone, this specimen is far from perfect, or indeed noteworthy. Credit where it's due, there generally isn't a lot of difficult to digest moments. Most songs are likeable and the vibe is pleasant enough to engage, some tracks are even catchy. But it's in the paltry state of it all where the downfall lies. Plain vapid is what it is.

Ex-drummer of Tame Impala, Jay Watson, has released his fifth record under the GUM name and it?s honestly the best step forward he has done, but at the end of the day, he still pairs in comparison to Tame Impala and others in the neo-psychedelic scene (i.e. Flaming Lips, Animal Collective, and Ween). From start to finish you will be greeted with soring and heavy-hitting psychedelic passages with overdubbed vocals that take you on a trip right back to the 70s. Not to say this album is bad by any means, it has a lot of decent neo-psych songs crafted with a lot of heart. But there are other songs that seem very lazy for a 2020 neo-psych release when we have heard this sound dozens of times before. However, Jay is slowly coming into his own sound by making more of his drums the presence of the tracks than normal, but he still isn?t doing anything amazing to make me stop on my tracks and listen to a track again. So, in conclusion, this is a fine release but it?s nothing to write home about.
