Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

Is this real? I'm dreaming. Woo.

 

I honestly thought that rule applied only to leaked LP stuff xD.

 

It didn't technically leak. It was streamed on iTunes, silly.

On the other hand, THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST MORNING OF MY LIFE.

 

It was available before it was streamable on iTunes.

Contact <3

 

*screams* Listening now. Man Give Life Back to Music is rocking! I am loving the live sound.

 

Really? Well, I wasn't up all night thanks to timezones, but I woke up to the stream, not the leak, so yeah. I'm definitely not hipster enough

 

Calm down spaz.

Acquired, listening planned shortly.

 

I'm listening to the album stream now on iTunes, also the first time listening to anything from Daft Punk that isn't "Discovery".

I'm really liking this album.

 

The super "live" sound is kind of off-putting at first. Especially in the drums. This is not music to be thrown into a random DJ set. And it's pretty much the complete opposite aesthetic of Human After All. I am really digging it. You don't necessarily have to be in a dance music mode to enjoy this.

And man those drums sound NICE.

 

one of the best albums of the year. hardly anything else released this year can touch this, that i've listened to anyway.

Motherboard is just fucking insane

 

Motherboard + Contact are fucking awesome.

 

I never imagined Daft Punk making a song like Motherboard. That song is crazy in the best way. The live drumming/percussion is nasty. I feel like they could easily make an electronic version of this song, but they went the extra 10 miles on this one. It's so smooth!

 

Instant Crush and Lose Yourself to Dance are on my top plays right now.

 

"Within" almost made me cry, and "Doin' it Right" will be stuck in my head for years to come.

 

Positive review of the album:

Well, they've already produced a number of tracks for Kanye's new album, one which the instrumental of has leaked, and it's electronic as shit.

In a Mixmag interview, they've confirmed they're doing remixes of their own songs, and are working on Get Lucky, with a high possibility of RAM getting a remix album, so here's a hugh fingers crossed for an electronic version of Motherbaord.


I am in love with this album, it's stuck on repeat.


My top tracks are:

Touch, Lose Yourself To Dance, Motherboard, Instant Crush, Contact and Doin' It Right.


I love all of the songs though. I think Beyond and Fragments Of Time are really underrated, FOT is awesome.

 

Not a Daft Punk fan, but what I've heard so far goes from good to great

 

I actually didn't like this album as much as their other albums, but it's a milder more groovy album so it could be that it'll grow on me.

 

I loved this album
