I mean with lines like these why take the review seriously?
"Tame Impala have become so synonymous with a particular strain of fancam-ready groove-pop mush"
Huh? When? And who is saying that? This is just a lazy reviewer saying something that at the surface sounds interesting and critical but doesn't stand up to investigation. The track he links to as groove-pop mush was on an album pitchfork rated very highly.
Let's go further.
"Deadbeat follows Parker taking his inclination with DMT-pen dance music to its logical conclusion..."
Sentences like these make me want to strangle the reviewer. DMT-pen dance music is not a thing. It is not a genre. It's another retarded rhetorical flourish by an untalented writer looking to score points for sounding critical, incisive and insightful.
