Listening to the whole thing from start to finish multiple times in a day, I would have to give it a bare minimum of 4/5. Time will tell if it will rise to heaven, but so far, great job Robots

Maybe 'guitar' ? Not sure though.
Yeh it definitely sounds like 'Guitar'. Just a bit odd in how it fits in there.
Yeah sounds like guitar to me too. Just checked in the booklet that comes with the vinyl and it doesn't mention anything in there.

I wouldn't have believed this would ever happen a year ago.
This album was clearly a labor of love and it's nice to see that their efforts have payed off.
Dope. Yeezus to bump them down to #3 biggest opening of 2013 in a few weeks though.
Wow, that is amazing.
Really extraordinary performance for RAM by any measure, but even more so for how far it eclipses Daft Punk's prior work. Very well deserved.

Wow, big congrats on the duo for making such a great album and for it's much deserved sales for it's first week.
Thanks for posting those, pretty good covers, accoustic is my favorite.
I was actually thinking of something more in this vein...

Insane how popular they've got since Human After All. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

HAA and Alive debuted at 98 and 169 in the states respectively. They've always had their following, but come TRON, which came it 4 they've had mad status.

Listened to the whole album a few days ago. Very underwhelming. Get Lucky is just about the pinnacle of the album.
Comparing the recent artistic efforts I'd rate JT's 20/20 experience as awesome. Looped it a couple of times already, Its just much more likable.

I wish I liked it as much as you guys.
The only tracks I kind of like are Instant Crush and Contact.
Maybe touch........Everything else to me is kind of meh.

This guy needs to seriously cut that hair and lose baseball cap, looked too ridiculous to take that cover seriously
Beyond has settled in as my current favorite. I wish it went on for a few minutes longer.
The first one is amazing!
The Daughter one is cool, but a bit to darky. Of course it's Daughter...
Haha!, incredible! So cool!
Fragments of Time is very tightly produced, has great layers of sound that dont show up in one or two listens and perhaps has the best vocal performance in the entire album.
Doin it right is also now my favs.
Touch still remains the best track of the album, followed by Giorgio though.

I can't help Give Life Back to Music staying a top favorite. I like a good anthem.
Giorgio, Lose Yourself to Dance vying for second place.

Yup, Doin It Right as well.
Same here man
I finally got a solid hour to listen to it. I know I need to be fair and give it a few more listens, and a little bit of time, but it's made a strong case as my favorite album of theirs.
The instrumentals in particular are so dense and have such a phenomenal groove. I keep hearing new things in each song, and the production makes it so easy for those details to bubble up to the surface. I'm really glad I waited until I had a quiet moment with my headphones to just relax and listen. I kept reading that they wanted to make an actual album this time, in the vein of the classics, and it absolutely shows. It flows well, and builds to a fantastic second half.
I always really liked Daft Punk, but this may have crossed them into my love category. I'm going to enjoy having this on repeat for a while.

Fragments of Time is just so horrible to me
good on them for the sales week though. expert level marketing.
I thought it was just okay until I listened to it with headphones, at night. A lot of nuances and layers came out that I wasn't aware of, from my crappy car speakers. That and the great bridge has made the song a lot of fun for me, even though the surface of it is nothing special.
My kids are really digging this album, both put it on their music players. "Touch" weirded them both out, though. :lol

The ending to that song is shitty as all hell, probably the first I've ever actually truly noticed. And the last couple chords of the chorus line is very sunny and tacky, but I still find something about the song I like. But yes, it really is a cookie-cutter tune.
If you don't like that track then you don't like Hall & Oates. And if you don't like Hall & Oats, then I don't like you. Neither does anyone else (probably).Fragments of Time is just so horrible to me
