To everyone going nuts over this, have you ever listened to the artists they're influenced by on this album? I'm listening to it and just wondering what the fuss is, it's incredibly pedestrian.

I can listen to a million records from the 70s and 80s that this record is aping and pulling things from, why would I want a 2013 carbon copy. /downer

If it leads to people exploring and discovering the inspirations then I think it's a good thing. #silverlining

That shift at the end of instant crush has to be the biggest tease. I thought that thing was about to rise into something epic as all hell

For those of you asking about itunes streaming, that's not where we're listening to it. Go back and read the last few pages before asking for hookups (which will get you banned.)

Motherboard sounds chill. While I do like the theme they went with RAM, it doesn't like like all of the songs fit into this theme.

Can't wait to hear the songs on Eigen Huis en Tuin.

At Lose yourself to dance right now, it's pretty good I guess.

I'm about to pass out from all this hype. Don't wanna build my expectations too high.

Next Tuesday will be when I give up my virginity to Random Access Memories.

WOW. I'm going to feel cheated every time I listen to the radio edit of Get Lucky after this.

It's SO MUCH BETTER in album form.

Good music is good music. And yeah I've listened to to the soul/disco stuff that Daft Punk is pulling from. In fact it's probably my favorite genre of music. This album is great because it's Daft Punk's take on that era of music. Their touch is all over the album.

This is special because you don't ever get to hear those influences so immaculately produced with a modern touch. Aside from that it's nothing really special. Just a fun listen. That's all I was expecting anyways.

Listening to this one now, it's great. I fucking hate the sound of a lap steel guitar, but they weave it in nicely.

Beyond/Motherboard was kind of a snoozefest, though.

Motherboard is a damn journey, son!

Think of discovering Earth a billion years from when buildings are crumbling a nature is taking over.

CANNOT wait for the eventual remixes. The more laid back tracks like Beyond and Instant Crush have potential to be amazing.

This album will stay fresh for years to come.

Fragments of Time makes me happy. I'm getting an odd Andrew Gold vibe from it too.
