What happened with Deadbeat? 😞

Discussion

I've always revered Kevin Parker's music from Innerpeaker to The Slow Rush, his evolution was brilliant. But Deadbeat just feels like a low point.

The lyrics lack the depth and introspection that once defined Tame Impala. Musically, it sounds like a generic blend of house and psytrance and like a rip-off rather than an evolution. Where's the soul? Where's the emotion?

Is it just me? Or did Deadbeat really miss the mark?
