Re: Daft Punk: Random Access Memories
As a kid I listened to almost nothing but Discovery for over a year, it still holds some sick nostalgia and it pretty much defined my taste in music. Hadn't listened to Daft Punk for years before today though, didn't want to buy into too much of the hype but this album is just as good as I didn't think it'd be.
Touch is absolutely amazing, second half is god tier and teared me up first time I played it. Contact, Instant Crush, Motherboard and Giorgio by Moroder are all really really good.
My 5 cents.Comment

Re: Daft Punk: Random Access Memories
imo I think the album is amazing. If anything, you can appreciate the fact that these guys a doing the music they want to do and aren't being sucked in to the whole popular dubstep/electro/omgthedrop mentality. This album is fresh, something different from the norm, and totally daft punk style. I think it's great :3
I'll admit, the very first play through, I wasnt a fan of every song, but its definitely growing on me even on the 2nd listen.
Even started a remix already :P https://soundcloud.com/djsymbiotix/daft-punk-feat-panda-bear-doin#play

Re: Daft Punk: Random Access Memories
I heard a lot of negative comments about the album so far saying it's a terrible album and other harsh comments like that, but honestly they're all the same "I don't like it cause it's not what I'm used to/what I expected from daft punk" kind of arguments. Take it for what it is. It's only bad if you have expectations of it being the next discovery which it isn't. They went a completely different direction in style, and that's not a bad thing. The only bad thing here is narrow-mindedness towards them using a different style.
That being said, personally I'm really digging the funky direction they have taken. It reminds me of 80's music/disco and I'm a sucker for that kind of music. My favorites of the album are Giorgo by Moroder, Instant Crush, Touch and Contact.Last edited by Nullifidian; 05-14-2013, 08:44 AM.

I wasn't a huge fan, but it wasn't all that bad either

Of course not everyone dislikes the album for that reason and that's cool. To each their own. But most of the comments I heard were like that. I didn't mean to generalize people's opinions like that. I'm cool with it if you dislike the music because it's not your cup of tea.Comment

Youtube Generation Blues: Random Access Memories Review
Can you even believe it? Seems only three permanent days before when I was imposed upon my field-top by a duo of robot-clad, beat-weaving strangers. Only two men in the entire Antares-damning cosmos could drop me a differential of Chicago-housed toddlers in the sprawl just like how they captured my front eardrums. It was that toxic beat, "... Robot.... Rock" (sic) that invaded me, and sold me. I was lounging down, Sturdivant Lake Memorial Park in Syracuse, TQ. during the silvering summer of 2001, sittin' all fleshy and worldy. Then they slapped, and I smelt. As they used to mention during my days, those electric darlings readily know their "slapback rhythm dials!" It turned on, and those telltale zaps and drops and kicks and bounces slapped back. Whoah-Oh!
Fast-forward to 2013: back in our gentrified, mixed-use Princetown condo, my Occulus Rift-wearing teenage son refilled his e-cigarettes through the iOS App he bought with bitcoins through the Samsung Cloud service. He Skype-called me in our organic, indoor garden: "Dad, look under the My Little League of Legends: Awakening is Magic activation key; Daft Punk is making a Zelda chiptune mashup tribute album with Kendrick Lamar. Look it up on Apple Maps."
Man, all I can say is I got a huge dick-a-p-p-o-i-n-t-m-e-n-T! I cried through ten years of Discovery and
Thanks for 13 Breakbot B-sides! I'll be back, DVNO, me & my friend ordered the box set.
Final verdict:
It whiffs and chops. It brushes my Belgian suspenders, who unmistake me for my fuc cking high castle. I tell you! Only a guy like Tim Galliano could ever demean me for my l'audio de blasphemie!
8.5/10

Re: Daft Punk: Random Access Memories
read pitchfork's review on discovery. they gave it like 41%
saying it was too repetitive and monotonous
funny how people now worship that album for that very style
