I can definitely hear the Beatles inspiration on this one. It feels like the album heavily expanded on ideas introduced in Inner Speaker and just made a tracklist full of more hits and cool ideas with the same production and structure. I love the first stretch of the album it has a lot of good singles and I think it becomes less memorable as the album goes on. I was surprised by Suns Coming Up as it sounds straight off of Revolver and Kevin Parker isn’t doing his signature falsetto. Really enjoy this album.

★★★★½♥︎

definitely one of the best neo-psychedelic rock sounds of the century, very well inspired by artist like Pink Floyd, still to so different and special
