FACT: Tame Impala is better than ELO

Written By: Andrew Wilson

Not many know this but Tame Impala is the best band ever. 

In recent studies, I’ve conducted at the University of Cambridge, most people compare Tame Impala to the Old 70’s rock group Electric Light Orchestra.

For those who don’t know what Electric Light Orchestra A.K.A ELO is, 

imagine Tame Impala but not as good.

If you don’t know what Tame Impala is, 

I don’t know why you’re still reading this article, because you must have better things to do living under a rock.

My aggression aside, Tame Impala is being challenged by the likes of Old White Men who rely too much on auto-tune to pull off vocal harmonies and don’t know how to make chill music.

Every song sounds like a symphony of bullshit, why does it need to be so extra?

Elephant is a perfect example of a good song, it can be chill without compromising the vibe. 

Unlike most ELO songs that have far too much going on, every song is essentially Mr.Roboto by Styx, It’s remarkably unoriginal and bad, and all the songs fail to keep me engaged because of all the nonlinear sounds that are being washed through the soundscape.

ELO’a hits are old and stale, 

Mr. Blue Sky is one of the worst songs ever made, What’s the song even about?

Couldn’t tell you because of all the distracting vocal Melodies and bullshit violin usage. Violins and operatic singing belong in boring classical music, not rock music. 

Don’t Bring Me Down and Turn to Stone are two other highly revered songs, but I don’t understand why. The songs are very heavy rock which felt very out of character for the band.

What I like about Tame Impala is that it’s all uniform and sounds chill and fun.

Tame doesn’t need to do pull out all the obnoxious stops that ELO pulls to sound like good-quality music. Tame Impala also does everything itself which is very impressive, ELO needs the help of like forty people, which in my opinion is very lame.

For example, Standin in the rain. A song that’s off their hit album “Out of the Blue” is nowhere near as good as 

“Less I know the better” 

Tame Impala shows us that you don’t need to have an obnoxious bad sound to make a cool vibe that you can chill to.

Trying to get down to an ELO track is nearly impossible, they don’t know how to make music without adding stupid outer space-sounding instruments, makes me feel like I’m listening to the music that would play at the space center. 

Not to mention the god-awful sounds of the robot voice they love to sing in.

Obviously, if you disagree with the notion that Tame Impala is better than ELO you probably don’t know enough about music to even know what you’re talking about.

Luckily for you, opinions on the internet last a lifetime, and your inability to even contradict this article fuels this opinion with infinite fuel.

Do you agree?

If you don’t who cares?
