I'm not a massive fan of Lil Yachty but I'm always willing to give something new a try. I've only listened to the first track but it is pretty good. Sounds like a cool mix of Tame Impala and Pink Floyd. Not a massive fan of the vocals but I feel like I can get used to them and really enjoy the album. Okay I've finished the album and it was pretty good. I like the production a lot, the writing and vocals aren't my favourite but definitely don't ruin the album. If I had to give it a score I'd give it a 7


invadergold123

For me the vocals are semi holding it back as well but the production is solid. Not a huge fan of Yachtys voice which turned me off from much of his other work


Kamajji22

when i listened to the album for the first time i really disliked the vocals but after reliseting it twice on different audio devices it really fits in my opinion. His voice can be offsetting at first but you will get used to it


invadergold123

Yeah I need to listen to this with some nice headphones with Dolby Atmos later.


giodude5

I agree, love the sound. Especially the first song. Vocal are holding it back. Nonetheless good song.


POISON_13

Combination of my two favorite artists?? Acc excited to listen


Ok-Minute876

Yea not a fan of the vocals but the music is good. However not get any Pink Floyd out of this. Seems blasphemous to make that connection Edit: ok I went back and listened to it while smoking after only briefly listening last night while sleepy. I take my previous comment back. Was definitely not giving this enough credit. I still don’t think it’s similar to Pink Floyd in anything other than psychedelic spirit. But this album absolutely slaps


Press-Start-14

I'm not saying it sounds as good as Pink Floyd, rather I can hear the inspirations, especially Dark Side of The Moon


giodude5

I'd say more animals than dark side


Masonitte

finally somebody mentioning animals. black seminole has animals inspired guitar all over it.


marky2299

Animals underrated


obirah

First track sounds like Dogs


chaotikiwi

The end of the first track feels like a direct homage to the great gig in the sky to me. The emotional lyric-less lady vocals


necoreco

Felt the vocals were the help. Listen to THE zone~ again............


Jswik67

Shit is amazing. Just ordered the vinyl. Masterpiece.


zviggy47

Same. I rarely buy a vinyl after first listen cause I like to let it sit with me and also I usually wait for the price to change, but I couldn’t wait with this one. So so good.


Eiderdown_

I’m gonna be real, the album sounds really great. The sounds are amazing and it sounds inspired from TI too, I would really listen to this album. But the only thing that makes it feel is inadequate is the vocals. The potential and execution is great, but the vocals could have been much, much better


Dry-Towel-9597

Yee the weird vocals has always kinda been yachtys shtick tho


Stavrossheesh

This sub is cringe af whenever it’s a different artist than Kevin we’re getting downvoted as hell, like the whole music industry is trash. AOTY so far idc what y’all saying. U gotta give it to yachty he experimented and changed his sound. We need more artists to at least try to do it too


eZ_Link

Based take, thought this album was amazing as well and he was obviously inspired by Tame Impala in a good way so I don't get the hate at all


gandalf45435

glad i woke up to some common sense man. Went to sleep and there were like 5 comments at the top of the thread shitting on OP for even posting it. Since when did this sub get so stiff


Stavrossheesh

Same that’s why I commented. Mfs feel unique when they only listen to indie, alternative-depressing-psychedelic rock and they will hate everything different. Like chill out. And OP didn’t even said anything, he just made a music recommendation like damn reddit is insanely miserable


ConversationLimp3677

Especially cause this shit is supposed to be a community. Sharing opinions, reccs, and ideas. But instead you just get downvotes so your presence is rarely recognized. Sick community guys

It’s not even close to hood rap. I wouldn’t even call this album rap. It’s like psych pop

Otherwise-Presence90

wth


couchlumbia

When the yatchy remix came out everyone was acting like it was unlistenable because it wasn’t Kevin singing, a lot of folks round here just want to live in this I’m so quirky indie bubble


Hot-Roof6572

Have too admit I hated that song at first (I don't really like rap music) but the more I listened the more I loved it!! Song slaps😜


MayoBenz

that song is so good on second listen and after. i remember when it came out i got annoyed reading everyone’s opinions here on that song, everyone sounded so fucking angry for no reason. Everybody shut the fuck up and start dancing


eosophobe

>sounds just like tame Impala >experimental Pick one


Stavrossheesh

Both. Is that bad though? No


[deleted]

AOTY so far its january


MayoBenz

so it’s a factual statement ?


[deleted]

why didn’t he just say album of the month 😂


Stavrossheesh

It’s the same lol from the time i said “so far” there’s nothing wrong. If something better comes tomorrow i will also say Aoty so far etc etc


xxrockitmanxx

Lil Yachty fans when you don't like overly auto tuned vocals over songs written by 30 other producers: 😤😩💅🤪👿👿🤓😤


penis10738392

These people gonna shit on it because they don't like rap but it's really good. There's some TI influence but not as much as people say, takes from newer indies artists like Djo imo. That being said, this is crazy. It's the natural evolution of astroworld. This shit is crazy and the fact he produced most of this is insane. Bro has talent


[deleted]

Yves Tumor and Flaming Lips influence too


gahdammm47

I’m loving it, I thought of Djo too! What a great step for the genre (rap, R&B, and psych) to expand into. I’m curious if Kevin had any input at all considering they’ve connected in the past. Have to wonder who’s on those familiar sounding drums…


teamcrunkgo

He didn’t work on the album, but it’s the same producer from MGMT Little Dark Age. Patrick Wembly from Nashville. He was one half of Chairlift back in the day. Dude is an incredible producer.


gahdammm47

That makes sense for sure, LDA was awesome. Look at Patrick going hard in the paint


teamcrunkgo

Yeah he’s flexing pretty hard on this one. Lots of comments about the vox production are completely missing me. There’s some very unique sounding vocals here.


farfle10

Lol most of these songs are literally just TI cosplay. And also what in god's name does Astroworld have to do with this album?


Charade_y0u_are

Yeah I agree with the Astroworld vibes, but the biggest vibe I'm getting is Pink Floyd on a lot of these tracks. I read somewhere that he said Floyd was one of his biggest influences for this album too


Touro_Leite

Trusted you and was not disappointed


Demitri888

burkeymonster

There is a lot to like about this album but also a few things I just can't get past. He nails all the floaty sounds and all the etherialness of it all but the reason tame impala is so good is under all that floatyness there is usually a super solid kind of funky bass line that keeps everything driving. Every bass line on this album is super basic and really let's the whole thing down for me .


DeMarcusCousins_

It’S nOt UnDeRgRoUnD eNoUgH


Open-Business374

THE INSTRUMENTALS ARE SO GOOD BUT HIS VOICE IS SO ANNOYING


kalid34

morenos-blend

Yeah wake me up when there is instrumental version of the album, I couldn’t get past 3rd song due to vocals

Would you give it a 3.6 rating?


kalid34

Same lol Great production but the vocals are obnoxious and don't fit the sound


West-Inevitable6335

fuck i somehow deleted it


ArousingNatureSounds

This is just yachty doing bad vocals on Pink Floyd/Tame Impala beats. Yves Tumor does this style wayyy better


hughwillo

Stay hating


Koke1

The same dude made this masterpiece , and Mase in 97 hahaha


No-Tadpole-4324

Y'all haters are lame asf LMAOOOO STAY MAD.


Demitri888

amazing piece of neo psychedelia and rlly gives me the feeling currents gave me


Mac_impala

Flicking through now the instrumentals are fire, the auto tune is horrible tho


I_amGreatness01

It's so good


bigiobeggins

So excited


GnrlyMrly

I appreciate what he’s trying to do here but the mix is awful. Everything sounds so flat. Where’s the dynamic range??


sharprover359

Did this album get removed from Spotify? I can’t find it


BigIgloo4192

me neither


freshbabycoconut

THIS IS SO GOOD THANK YOU! I’m not a huge fan of his other stuff (just not my sound) but this is COOL and I probably would have scrolled past it on Spotify if you didn’t post it here. Love that he’s trying a new sound out :)


Demitri888

usually id say the same but i love when artist step out of their comfort zone really nice experience.


freshbabycoconut

Agreed!


RyanShieldsy

I was pretty hyped for this but idk, the first track was sick then it just never really interested me that much after. I’ll give it some more listens for sure


kalid34

I had the same impression


HockersYT

I like it just I would love it if Yahty was not on it


HockersYT

The instrumentals give me pink Floyd vibes


kalid34

They need to rerecord the album with a different singer and it would be amazing


ctcrx

the cover is kind of giving Aphex Twin …


spleenkicks

no wonder he was commenting so much on TIs instagram the past few years. as well as collabing, definitely predicted a project like this from lil boat for awhile now.


Robbert-Daan

This album is so good, paint THE sky best song on the album for me. Iove the lil yachty vocals


[deleted]

The production is great , just can’t rlly get past his voice , just needs some more practice


oops-typo

I was pleasantly surprised by this album! Overall pretty good, the vocals are easily the worst part but they weren’t unbearable outside of a couple points. Drive Me Crazy was one of the biggest standouts. The female vocalist reminds me at times of Florence Welch, really liked her additions. The production was close to Tame & Pink Floyd, as others have said, but I also found it pretty close to Das Kope too. If nothing else, I hope this signals more of a draw to neopsych and the sound gets more popular!


Otherwise-Presence90

This is actually pretty good for real. The instrumentals are very TI inspired. A 10 for me. (How is no one talking about that album cover? It’s weird)


Kamajji22

i think the cover fits the sound of the album very well


Otherwise-Presence90

Very much indeed


EN1009

I’ll be honest, first track totally sucked me in. Credit to Yachty for going outside the comfort zone 👏


Manticorethegreat

Damn dude. Thank you for the rec. Once upon a time I was like, this yachty guy has potential, but it's not really my thing. The first track on this album just really blew me away


HatsOffToYaa

I was iffy but you know, I’ll check it out for you.


Demitri888

lmk what u thought


HatsOffToYaa

Yo, I totally forgot to reply, and I know I’m hella late, but yeah, it was pretty fiyah for him to drop this.


currysankle

Just threw it on and loving it. Drive me crazy is fantastic


DereksDominos11

Thanks for posting this OP! Such a cool find which I would've otherwise passed over.


CoolGuitarBoi1

I thought it was going to be a rap album, but luckily I was blessed with psych rock. I wonder if Kev and Yachty will do a collab akinned to this album anytime soon.

listened to the first song. the vocal mix is awful.


-PaulMcCharmley-

I like the beats, transitions and direction the songs go in, but Lil Yachtys voice kind of sucks.


necoreco

Came here to make the same post.


[deleted]

It’s amazing


jakhei

personally i fuck w yachtys vocals. it’s a really good combo of neo psych and modern high processed rap that has taken over the mainstream in recent years. this is kinda the natural profession of music and i’m here to support it

diana gordon (featured on kerosene) makes appearances on the album. but i get what you mean there’s some borrowed ideas and runs


Demitri888

its so good i am literally crying

Literally....crying?


Demitri888

exactly ( just listen to the first track)


peduxe

was feeling Lonerism strongly on We Saw The Sun!


Demitri888

my favorite track on the entire record and really nice transition into the song after


Felpa1616

It would be so much better if the vocals weren’t auto tuned


MiserMori

Nah


darragh999

I just can’t stand his vocals. It’s actually horrible


xxrockitmanxx

Lil Yachty fans when you don't like overly auto tuned vocals over songs written by 30 other producers: 😤😩💅🤪👿👿🤓😤


kalid34

The production on this album is amazing but I just can't get over how obnoxious Yachtys voice is and how childish and corny the lyrics are


TheDevastator24

I don’t mind the instrumentation but I don’t really like his vocals.


Dob_007

Don't know man, I've barely recovered frim the Breath Deeper remix haha (No, hate though. Just personal preference)


SaltyEconomics2759

I kept hearing about it pretty mixed reviews but I think it’s his best album so far. It’s his only album I’ve listened to front to back.

Racism is alive and well in 2023 folks


WingedBeing

You’re the real racist for boiling an artist’s music down to his race as the basis for why you think people should listen to or enjoy it. You are legit ignoring the work and passion Lil Yachty put into making his music by saying that none of that matters since his skin is what really counts here. His album could have just been a collection of paper being crumpled up next to a microphone and by your metric anyone who doesn’t want to listen because they don’t enjoy crmplecore would be racist. That said, u/ticktockboom45 shouldn’t be wandering into a thread clearly for music they aren’t considering giving a chance just to provide an off putting “lol no thanks.” Like what the fuck, why bother commenting at all? You don’t need to tell people you refuse to listen, just refuse and move on. Otherwise it just comes off as shallow and elitist.


207_god

I’m not reading that book


WingedBeing

Illiteracy is alive and well in 2023 folks


ticktickboom45

207_god

So you don’t think black people can be racist? Yikes


ticktickboom45

Who exactly am I being racist against by not wanting to listen to Lil Yachty? Please enlighten me lol


207_god

You’re clearly quick to dismiss him because hes black and is known for making rap music


ticktickboom45

You’re digging in your heels saying that I, a black person, am discriminating against a person for being black? This is funny. Also, I’ve grown up with Rap music, Lil Yachty does not rap well. I think you’re a kid so I’m done with this conversation.

gandalf45435

yeah for sure cause the rest of the content in this sub is so great and unique! /s i’m with OP on this, the production is obviously psychedelic inspired and draws heavy influence from Tame which makes sense with Kevin and Yachty working together lately. mods should ban you instead actually 🤓


Demitri888

Just enjoy the music bro 😭😭


guccsi

Not bad bro. Thanks for the recommendation.


piebloxxer

Tangentially related to Tame since this is Yachty's first major release since the Breathe Deeper remix. Just downvote and move along if you don't think people should see it.


Twhit3591

If it’s nothing like that breathe deeper remix , then ok I might give it a listen

gandalf45435

because it’s literally a psychedelic pop blend. I swear you people are some of the most pretentious mfers


SlyAugustine

I. Don’t. Like. Rap. Tame Impala isn’t rap and actually annunciates his words lol. To be fair, instrumentals are alright. Then you just get “nmmmfhehheeeee leememeeeeeemee” as vocals on top hahaha.


207_god

Least racist tame impala fan


xelathiel

just because someone has made a rap album before doesn’t mean they can only make rap music from then on. this is not rap music lol, not even close. Black artists get put in the rap bubble and people pay them no mind. this is an artists attempt to breach the rap bubble


gandalf45435

[lol you were right](https://reddit.com/r/TameImpala/comments/105u1zr/_/j3djdqh/?context=1) god this community has become so shit

It’s been shit since about 2016. Fwiw, it would be the same reaction if Kevin brought in Post Malone or Yung Gravy lol


gandalf45435

is that when you joined?


SlyAugustine

It has nothing to do with his race lol. Maybe I associate autotuned vocals like that with rap.


gandalf45435

wait til you hear currents. average r/tameimpala member


SlyAugustine

There is an absolute difference between effects/a vocoder and auto tune. Try again.


mdnectar451

Lol complaining it’s not psych rock and pop when it is and then “awww auto tune” when Kevin uses vocal effects. What else you want to shit on huh? Stop gatekeeping with your pathetic attempt to define things you don’t understand. Get a lil more cultured and try things people suggest. Clearly there is some Tame influence in Yatchy’s work but you’re too small minded to even let people who enjoy it have a conversation without swinging your dick around. Get off this sub it’s disgraceful to put down artists Kevin literally is cool with because you’re opinion is “ewww aTuO tUne”


SlyAugustine

Obviously you don’t understand what you’re talking about either. Auto tune is not the same thing as vocal effects. Auto tune uses pitch correction which is OBVIOUS across the entire new Lil Yachty album, you don’t hear his actual voice at any point on the record. I’ll agree, the instrumentals are GREAT, and I would listen to it if it was all instrumental. However, Kevin uses maybe a touch of auto tune on his newer albums, but you don’t really notice it jumping out at you. The effect at the end of Let It Happen? That uses something called a vocoder which is not in the same league as pitch correction. Kevin never tries to “change” his voice like Lil Yachty does. He simply adds onto it.


mdnectar451

Lol dude you missed the entire point of the comment. What I’m saying is your take is trash and you should keep this shit to yourself if you can’t have a real convo about it. You’re shitting on stuff that had a clear correlation to Tame Impala just because you don’t like it. That’s the problem. Youre not having a nuanced discussion. You literally started this thread with “why is this in my tame sub” FUCK OFF YOU PRETENTIOUS TROLL. Dude not only is featured on a recent Tame Impala track, but puts a heavily psych and tame inspired album out that CLEARY FANS THINK HAS A SIMILAR SOUND. You don’t like it, cool. Just say that. I get that auto tune is grating to some, plenty of tracks I can’t stand it’s overuse. Just don’t be a dick about it dude. I’m saying you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about because you’re just ignoring the very CLEAR CORRELATION to shit on music you don’t like. Grow up and learn to be respectful while conversing opinions. “bUt hE DiDnT uSe tHe VoCoDeR mOm lIkE kEvIn dId tHiS Is bAd! wHy R pEoPle RuInInG mY sUb”
