Currents is out there for those who want to search. And man I love it. Huge change in their sound. Lots of bass and synths.

^ Yup. At first I was like yeah it's decent, and now it's on repeat.

Not sure how I feel about this new one. Not bad, just sounds like something to play for background music than something I want to crank up. Theyve kind of lost me since Innerspeaker.

LOVEEEEEEE the new record.

I know that the lack of guitars has struck a nerve with a lot of people, but think about this; how many musicians have completely scrapped their guitars and stayed true to their musical identity? Kevin Parker has proven that he can write great riffs, bass lines and synth tracks. The major stylistic changes just proves that his arsenal is pretty much unlimited.

My favorite non-guitar rock album in years. I don't even think it's a rock album. I'm not a synth fan, but this album is outstanding! That one song with the deep voice guy (Past Life) doesn't work for me at all. Kevin Parker is a super talent. I wouldn't be surprised if the next album has more guitar and has it front and center. Clearly Kevin isn't afraid to mix things up.

YEAH one hell of an album! Currents is on fire. can't wait to see these guys live!

I like it a lot, not sure if i like it as much as Lonerism or Innerspeaker. I think there are a few "filler" songs on here. Cause I'm a Man might be my fav song off the album (had it stuck in my head the past few days)

Agreed with past life, this along with a couple other songs should've been left off to make a shorter, tighter album. I like the album but it's definitely not their best like some are saying.
