Tame Impala – Lonerism

This press sounds like MP3 😱 I search better pressing for this album, perhaps blue box? Or repress 2022?

Excellent pressing as is usually the case with Tame Impala. Nice feeling heavyweight vinyl, no surface noise, quite loud and clear.

Lonerism is the most aggressive Tame Impala album I've had to date. Like the bad trip that I've never endured while ingesting psychedelics.
The instrumentation here is more skittish in syncopation than the synth heavy notes that come in Tame Impala's later discography. When the synths actually do come in on "Lonerism" they tend to be more haunting and drawn out like a Black Sabbath record.
While listening to "Lonerism", The Beatles inspiration is audible, unlike on Tame Impala's later records, which is a drawback for "Lonerism", since in most cases with music, inspiration is best left up to interpretation than to be credited.
"Why Won't They Talk To Me?" is a clear hit, followed by "Feels Like We Only Going Backwards" which sets the definition of "Lonerism" as the narrative of a spirit walker, realizing that the journey of the soul is only for the self. Like the age old platitude "what's good for the goose is not good for the gander".
"Lonerism" is Tame Impala's red pill rage record - an essential period of time for all who practice the art of seeking truth.

Does anyone know if the edition they have for sale at Interscope website is the 45 rpm edition?

On 10th November 2024 I asked them directly.

uMusic Customer Care responded to my request for information. Answer on November 16th, 2024: "Hi there. Thank you for your response and continued patience while we looked into this for you. We can confirm that the Lonerism 2LP is 45 rpm. Feel free to us with any additional questions or concerns.Thank you for your patience and , Sammy + uMusic Customer Care"

I just ordered it and when I receive it I will let you know if this edition is really the 45 rpm edition.

Update the information on December 2, 2024. I just received the Interscope website Tame Impala Lonerism 2 LP record and it's definitely NOT the 45 rpm edition. I was incorrectly informed by Interscope's website customer service. Interscope Records doesn't want refund me, it is a disgrace that uMusic Customer Care do not acknowledge their mistake in the information they provided me.

Any sign of an official reissue of these? Would love to have and super hard to find. Any leads appreciated

kindof sux for what they charge... Sounds like my @$$ after drinking

Has a lot of static in the quieter sections, and a few pops here and there. The music itself sounds good, though.

I didn’t hear the US pressing but my buddy has it and told me not to bother and get this one instead. So I did through Rarewaves and boy was he right. Great sounding pressing. Just get this and be happy with it.

Can we have some more photos of this exact press please somebody?
This is one of those releases where multiple releases share same barcode.

Anyone know if this was pressed in the Netherlands or in Holland?
