Couple good songs, but I am overall disappointed.
Get Lucky is pretty okay, Contact had sweet-ass drums, and... well, I'd have to listen to it again to remember some other good stuff. I feel sad.
I'm glad the hype didn't get to me. I would have been very sore.

I can summarize your post for you
"entry-level pedestrian album"
stahp
So if you like this album then you must somehow have missed the works that influenced it. That is nonsense.
I don't think you know what screamo is mate
That and Get Lucky do nothing for me.
Just because we're enjoying it doesn't mean you have to treat us like we're idiots. If we're enjoying the album it's most likely BECAUSE we're aware of popular music of the 1970s and early 80s.

Instant Crush starts off with a great groove but the chords they used for the chorus are so corny and boring.
Doing it Right just doesn't go anywhere.
The rest of the album is pretty stellar though.
Give Life Back To Music and Contact are fantastic bookends to this album.

Hating is bullshit. If you don't like it, tell us why. The smart people will have a discussion with you, the idiots will get defensive.
You can hate if you want. We just won't care.

Probably their worst album IMO although Human After All is pretty bad. Homework and Discovery can't be beaten.

Not sure if it's the worst, but definitely a let down since Face to Face was my favorite track from Discovery.
Hasn't stopped anyone before! Just don't be surprised if you get flak for posting stuff that is contrary to what most people in this thread are feeling, I guess. I don't really care personally.
Yeah I'm ashamed to say my dad loved the 70's and 80's music and I always shunned it because I wad soo cool yo. But few years ago I bought at iPod and didn't care what my friends listened to and started to experiment with music because I had my headphones on and no one would judge me and I've come to love this sound. My taste in music is more diverse then ever now. Fragments of time is a great track.

naw that makes too much sense.
Its paying tribute to music from that era. And that is what is so neat.
Just finished my first full playthrough, I would say that Giorgio, Contact, and Beyond are my favorite tracks. Give Life Back to Music and and Lose Yourself to Dance aren't bad either.
Overall great album though, only track I'm not overly big on is the second one (Game of Love).

And now iTunes has a stream of the new The National album. This is a good day.
But now I can't choose between them D:

See and this is the attitude that ruins the whole listening experience. It honestly sounds like people listened to the album trying to find a reason to go, "Welp, I'm disappointed because of all the hype and it doesn't sound like Discovery/Homework. Bad album 3/10." Nobody is being defensive. It's a damn good album. Yes there are a few misses but the good outweighs the bad and we are enjoying it for what it is, and not trying to jump all over it for not being the 2nd fucking coming of Discovery.

I like the National, but come on.
Nope. I really dig it.

Am I blind or is there no playlist for the stream on itunes.

it isn't really, but thanks for getting your hackles up because i'm not acting like this is the 2nd coming of Christ. the fact that just because you don't like the argument, or that it's been heard many times, doesn't mean it isn't valid. i'll continue to espouse my opinions, thanks.
so far the album has been decent, if not a little too slow for my tastes. i appreciate what they're doing on it, and i think it's great we can have a prog-funk album in 2013 that gains immediate relevance (if mostly because of the artists' legacy and not on it's musicality); but it's honestly not that novel or original. i don't think it gets a pass just because nobody's done this in 30 years (which i would argue Justice did with Audio, Video, Disco, except that was more prog-rock than funk).
anyone not putting motherboard in top 3 is insane, btw.

2 Get Lucky
3 2nd half of Giorgio By Moroder
4 Beyond
5 Fragments Of Time
Contact is really awesome but seems only as an album closer, don't imagine it'd be enjoyable in a different context (at least not the increasingly loud screeching at the end).

nothing to hate. It's a totally different type of soundtrack to normal daft punk. I'm glad tho. I really love it. If you don't that's cool its not for everyone but a lot of people seem to enjoy it. Its very funky.

Great album. It's one I can just press play on track 1 and ride all the way til the end.
Easily one of the best albums of this year. It's an album that needs to grow on you though. Also it's such a melancholic album that I doubt that going from one to the other in a short span of time is a good idea.
Ain't nobody got time to give a shit. You like it? Like it.

I have no idea how they're going to top this.
I can understand people being disappointed if they were expecting Discovery 2.0 or " summer bangers" or whatever. Luckily for me I had a very open mind, although following the hype and collaborator videos really helped to make me understand more or less what DP was going for. I love what I got here.

Far from it. Its a funky chilled out soundtrack. Really 70's/80's and I love it. Its very chilled.

Just got done listening to the whole album. Giorgio by Moroder is probably my favorite right now but I loved the whole thing. They completely surpassed my expectations
