Australian combo Tame Impala debuted with
Innerspeaker (2010) in the vein of artistic retro-pop.
It's Not Meant To Be sounds like a spaced-out version of Magical Mystery Tour or an acid version of lounge pop.
Except for a few moments of vintage garage-rock (Desire Be Desire Go)
and quasi hard-rock (Lucidity and especially the Cream-esque
Expectation),
the collection sticks to that slow and mellow tone, with a peak in
the cosmic Byrds-ian Solitude Is Bliss and a nadir in
the tedious uninspired recycling of very old stereotypes of Why Won't You Make Up Your Mind.
The electronic poppy danceable Alter Ego tries to revive "Madchester"'s disco-psychedelia.
The instrumental Island Walking hints at musical potential that these
songs don't exploit.
The lengthy and sleep-inducing The Bold Arrow Of Time is a good example of how they waste it.
The melodies are the weakest part of the project: dejavu, un-catchy, lazy.
The electronic arrangements are a close second.
