Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
These Australians have crafted an assured and accomplished album that integrates an array of psych rock references into a powerful whole.
-
Sputnik Music
The start of something beautiful; Tame Impala's debut record is also its finest, and is a wonderful exercise in psych-rock nostalgia.
-
NME
The Aussie four-piece dip into their stash to produce a solid ounce of late '60s psychedelia.
-
Drowned in Sound
Innerspeaker won't rewrite the history books or reinvent the wheel, but at the same time it serves its purpose as a shining example of the fact that having a nostalgic outlook needn't necessarily be deemed a negative course of action.
-
BBC
Australians’ debut displays an intuitive feel for psychedelia’s insurgent streak.
-
A.V. Club Music
Cosmic, crackling riffs and otherworldly vocal melodies that are as transportive as they are tuneful.
-
Pretty Much Amazing
Innerspeaker is a record full of warm sounds and it rarely gets boring. Perfect for the summer, with enough complexity to earn listens through winter.
-
The Guardian
It's a perfect recreation of the point in English music just before psychedelia tipped over into heavy rock.
-
Spectrum Culture
Tame Impala fails to strike such a balance throughout this release, making Innerspeaker an album that tickles the ears but never really engages the mind.
-
The Needle Drop
If you're looking to get into psych . . . I'd highly recommend this.
-
The Quietus
As this hot, languid summer takes hostage the streets of London and beyond - it's hard to listen to Tame Impala's debut album Innerspeaker and not hear it as the perfect musical accompaniment.
-
All Music
Innerspeaker coasts so beautifully on its blissful, billowing waves of sound that readily discernible hooks almost seem like gratuitous distractions.
-
Beats per Minute
Innerspeaker celebrates, above all else, itself. And it has every right to.
-
Under the Radar
Clearly Tame Impala have struck a chord with some people.
-
The Fire Note
Innerspeaker is a mountain of a record and it needs to be consumed as one big opus and not chopped into bits.
-
indie30
The strength of Innerspeaker is the fact that every song is of equal worth and the fact that I’ve mentioned each one in this review speaks volumes.
-
QRO Mag
Tame Impala aren’t entirely one-note, and expand themselves for better & worse in the back side of Innerspeaker.
-
The Line of Best Fit
If you don’t like it, then your Dad probably will.
-
BUMS LOGIC
While Tame Impala certainly isn’t breaking any new sonic boundaries with Innerspeaker, if this is how good they can be with their first crack at it, I can only hope this is their Rubber Soul.
-
Music Liberation
Immerse yourself in this album; it’s a fantastic achievement and a beautiful work of art.
-
The Music Ninja
Starting with one of the most infectious bass-lines in recent memory, the band immediately grabs your attention.
-
Black Plastic
Innerspeaker is another one of those records you can't help but come back to.
-
Vandala Magazine
It’s vibrant, and full of life.
-
Ultimate Guitar
Tame Impala are a great up and coming Australian band and InnerSpeaker is their fantastic debut album.
-
Sound Opinions
Tame Impala delivers psychedelic transcendence while remaining Britney Spears-catchy. Lonerism gets an enthusiastic double Buy It.
-
Turntable Kitchen
InnerSpeaker is a thoughtfully composed and cohesive album experience.
-
Reviler
When it is finished, I want to start it back over again.
-
Maibu Footti
These Australians have crafted an assured and accomplished album that integrates an array of psych rock references into a powerful whole.
-
Aquarium Drunkard
Parker’s emotional sentiments are abundant from start to finish, but what lingers even more is Tame Impala’s engulfing sound and spellbinding use of effects.
-
Invidious
I'd highly recommend this.
-
Redefining Records
My hypothesis is that if you understand the story being told it enables a deeper connection with the artist.
-
Small Town Romance
This is a true stunning debut for this band.
-
Doubtful Sounds
Innerspeaker is the culmination of the last two years work and experiences and it is an exceptionally accomplished album.
