My favorite tracks from Daft in the past were the more melodic disco inspired ones.

I love me some veridis quo.

So basically they too my favorite stuff and made an album in that vain. Based daft. So based.

I'm actually really excited to see how this album fares amongst DJs and producers. I have zero interest in Daft Punk remixes typically, but there's some very sample-able stuff in here that I'm sure we'll see popping up in hip-hop and elsewhere.

"SWEAT! SWEAT! SWEAT!" is going to be repurposed as "SWAG! SWAG! SWAG!" you know this to be true

Yeah seriously fuck disco, this album sucks. No more bass, vocoders, build ups, or samples? Say what you want, but that's what has always made Daft Punk great. I'm kinda glad I hate it though, now I don't have to continue wishing they toured again. I won't pay to see this album live that's for sure. And why is everything auto-tuned??

Saying "fuck disco" is some ignorant bullshit. You agree with someone posting ridiculous stuff like that? If so, take a seat.

Not completely feeling this. Honestly i loved the Tron Legacy soundtrack so much, i just wish they would score more movies. But i was never a huge fan of Daft Punk to begin with.

yeah even though I'm not digging the album I'm hyped for the slew of incoming remixes.

also I'm glad they streamed this before the release because I was likely gonna cop the vinyl which I found out is 40 fuckin bucks...

I will say tho, there is no RAM song that reaches the same height as Digital Love did: the best Daft Punk song. But I realize that is a tall order.

Touch was the turning point for me. It was when the album started making sense and opened the way to the better half of the album.

People coming here just to say FUCK DISCO and WHERE DAFT PUNK AT are either just ignorant or are looking for attention. Get Lucky, the Collaborators videos, and pretty much every piece of information regarding this album didn't clue you in on the direction of RAM?

Sorry for peeing in your bowl of Cheerios, but my opinion differs from yours.

I changed my avatar because the hype was sucked out of me after the grocery store soundtrack that is "Fragments of Time."

You are enjoying it though, so more power to you guys.

Saying fuck disco is not a good way to make a cogent argument. It is a good way to attention whore in the thread though.

You can dislike the direction, and you can dislike the execution. A lot of the reviews feel the same way. Also, Get Lucky is a poor indicator of the album's sound in my opinion.

Oh my god give life back to music is amazing.

It'd be better if it were 2 minutes longer and had some ridiculous keyboard solo in the middle but I guess that's not daft punk's "thing"

People who wanted a more typical EDM album didn't get it. People who thought this was going to ape all their older stuff are going to be disappointed too.

People who wanted more melodic disco funk genre bending stuff did. I'm glad this is what I wanted.

I expected Get Lucky to be the albums sound. I would've liked that, but this is so much more rewarding because it's unexpected. None of the preview writeups really conveyed just how different this would be from everyone's expectations

Im travelling and left my headphones at home and now the new daft punk album is out. Guess the netbook speakers will have to do for now.

So far I'm really digging it, but don't really understand why daft punk still consider themselves electronic...

do they? moreover, is their entire output as a musical act measured by a single album?

Ignorant? I've been listening to electronic music for twenty plus years and daft punk in particular since 99. We all knew which direction the album was gonna take. If you like it, cool, I envy you. But to call us ignorant because we don't like what you like is rather silly. The change is direction is rather jarring.

Get Lucky is indicative that this was going to be nothing like their previous work.

Not ignorant because you don't like it, but ignorant because if someone is seemingly surprised about RAM is like, then clearly they knew nothing bout it.

A departure from their previous work is incredibly broad. Get Lucky was nu disco pop. The album is far more ballady and has significant prog influences. So yeah, you could be disappointed.

Ah track 3 right now, the second one was pretty chill but this album's major weakness so far (at least compared to discovery) is the hard stop between tracks. Wish the record was a bit better connected.

You knew what direction the album was going to take and you still came in the thread to say fuck disco. Odd.

I never intended to persuade any of you to not like the album or share my point of view. You have yours, and I have mine.

Like I said a few posts up, enjoy your album.

I'm out.
