“I Don’t Really Mind” doesn’t properly cap off the journey Innerspeaker takes you on in the way it should. It mainly suffers from being a bit repetitive lyrically and exploring the same sounds that were found throughout the album already. But alas, “I Don’t Really Mind” rounds out the album leaving not necessarily a bad taste in your mouth… just not that great. KG: To be honest, it would be much more fitting for Innerspeaker to end with “Runway Houses City Clouds” as opposed to this song. It acts as the album’s come-down after all the psychedelic highs that preceded it, but doesn’t stick out as one of the most musically-compelling Tame tracks. Instrumentally, it’s a sparse piano ballad that fades out the album with a melodic guitar solo over audio-recordings of waves crashing on the shore. MC: Lonerism’s closing track is one of Parker’s most personal lyrics, discussing the death of his father, and feelings of despair and hopelessness. “I’m about to do something crazy / No more delayin’ / No destiny is too far / We can get a home in Miami / Go and get married / Tattoo your name on my arm.” WOOF. KG: A rare occurrence of the typically stoic Kevin Parker veering into a Kraft macaroni box of cheese, the lyrics on this sucker are right up there with Jimmy Fallon’s fake laugh in terms of cringe. The instrumental groove that the song settles into eventually kills, but lyrically Parker’s missteps stick out too much on this one to overlook.
These opening lines, delivered by presumably the world’s most domesticated Australian cyborg, make for one of the few downright corny moments in the Tame discography. MC: “I was picking up a suit from the dry cleaners / Which was standard for me / Thursday, 12:30, I gotta pretty solid routine these days.” Weirdly enough, it’s been getting a decent amount of run on alternative radio stations, sandwiched between the tasteful stylings of The Offspring and Pearl Jam…not quite the realm that you want your Tame served up in. MC: The Supertramp meets blown-out drums sound of this song makes it Tame’s clunkiest full-length album cut. I did see Tame open with this song once, busting it straight into Let It Happen.

KG: An interlude that sounds like psychedelic TV fuzz with a subtle guitar, this snippet of a track is just a tiny blip on the Currents radar. MC: Clocking in at just under a minute, and featuring a sparse synth arrangement and hint of guitar at the end, this is more of an interlude than a real song. Without further ado, we present you with our latest labor of love: our Tame ImPowerRankings.Ĥ8. We tried to rank these as objectively as possible and we apologize if your favorite Tame cut fell short of where you hoped it might be. However, the most weight was given to the category of The Chacon Melting Point (trademark pending), a complex algorithm that determines just how heavily a Tame song melts your face.īeing that Tame is an album-oriented project (and as we continue to do our best to pretend that that ZHU collab doesn’t exist), we only decided to include the album cuts. Careful thought and consideration was put into the determining of these rankings, with weight given to instrumentation and production, danceability, and the lyrics. In honor of 10 years of Tame Impala albums this week, we’ve decided to rank all 48 of Tame’s album cuts – every song on Innerspeaker, Lonerism, Currents and The Slow Rush. “Not all of Kevin’s children are created equal.”
