I know someone stated it before, but I have a link. The beginning of 'Contact' is already over 11 years old.

Wow

Certainly a lot more than 11 years old.

How does Daft Punk get so hyped when Discovery is their only great record?

Damn.

 

[PBY]

Certainly a lot more than 11 years old.

Damn they straight lifted the first 45 seconds then just basically looped it and threw arps over it.

 

[Sullichin]

Can't listen at work but I thought this album only had original samples?

 

[DominoKid]

Contact is the only one with samples.

Vampire Weekend blows everyone else away.

Jitters staaaaahp.

 

[Dreaver]

Ohh I didn't knew the whole part was a sample.

For the ones that don't know: Discovery uses loads of samples, such as:
Aerodynamic
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

 

[Wazzy]

Might as well do one too.

01. Give Life Back to Music - Good
02. The Game of Love - Great(Something about us vibes)
03. Giorgio by Moroder- Good (Potential for great remix)
04. Within - Good(potential for a great remix)
05. Instant Crush - Amazing
06. Lose Yourself to Dance - Amazing
07. Touch - Meh(Need more time to listen, I'm just not feeling it)
08. Get Lucky - good
09. Beyond - Meh
10. Motherboard - Awesome(Tron vibes)
11. Fragments of Time - Awful.
12. Doin’ It Right - Amazing
13. Contact - Amazing

The album is no Discovery but it's still overall fantastic.

Jitters man. Homework is fucking terrific. I haven't listened to the new Vampire Weekend, but Daft Punk is always hyped because 2 out of three of their previous albums (not including RAM or Tron) they had classics.

 

[SKINNER!]

The guitar solo in Aerodynamic always reminds me of AC/DC's Thunderstruck for some strange reason.

 

[Ran rp]

Where's that Superheroes one?

 

[JehutyRunner]

Yeah, I'm gonna do this too.

01. Give Life Back to Music - Awesome
02. The Game of Love - Boring
03. Giorgio by Moroder - Amazing
04. Within - Meh
05. Instant Crush - Alright
06. Lose Yourself to Dance - Fantastic
07. Touch - Meh
08. Get Lucky - Fantastic
09. Beyond - Alright

[IceCold]

Jitters man. Homework is fucking terrific. I haven't listened to the new Vampire Weekend, but Daft Punk is always hyped because 2 out of three of their previous albums (not including RAM or Tron) they had classics.

And Alive 2007. That tour really blew up their popularity. Also yeah, Homework is an amazing album. The sequence of songs from Revolution 909 to Around the world is fuckin great.

 

[John Rabbit]

Where's that Superheroes one?

barry manilow - who's been sleeping in my bed

 

[pringles]

I'm far from a hardcore Daft Punk fan but I think this album is great. Listened a couple of times all the way through on the itunes stream.

Doin' it Right and Contact are just amazing imo. I also really like the Giorgio track, though certainly I'd like an edit to remove the talking bits.

Some of the other tracks sort of flow together for me when I've just been listening to the stream. Lots of awesome stuff in there.

 

[Mr Touchdown]

I love this album.

 

[CB3]

The Game Of Love has really grown on my. Still not a huge fan of the autotuned vocals even though it fits the funk vibe. But everything else about that has a nice groove about it. It was Something About Us vibes all over it.

 

[Addi]

Oh my god! What is this?!!! Kill it with fire!!

Get Lucky - Pitbull remix

 

[SeroTyler]

Did anyone else make this connection the second the vocals on Touch started?

Just another old fashioned lab song

 

[jett]

I can't understand how some crazy in here didn't like the drumming and bass playing in Giorgio.

 

[bud]

Oh my god! What is this?!!! Kill it with fire!!

Get Lucky - Pitbull remix

he just... added a verse at the beginning?

 

[darthbob]

"If you lose your way tonight, that's how you know the magic's right."

I love songs that make me think about robot sex.

 

[Samyy]

I don't listen to much Daft Punk, I tried listening to the other albums like Alive 2007 and Discovery but I didn't fall in love with them but this album blew me away, probably more towards my tastes, but wow amazing!

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

Oh my god! What is this?!!! Kill it with fire!!

Get Lucky - Pitbull remix

:'(

 

[DominoKid]

Oh my god! What is this?!!! Kill it with fire!!

Get Lucky - Pitbull remix

^^^ ban this guy for posting obscene material


lol.

 

[jokkir]

I feel like I'm the only one who likes Within

>__>

 

[MThanded]

Oh my god! What is this?!!! Kill it with fire!!

[L1NETT]

I feel like I'm the only one who likes Within

Nope I am with you there I also love Beyond.

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

I feel like I'm the only one who likes Within

>__>

I like it, I like them all!

 

[Error]

Oh my god! What is this?!!! Kill it with fire!!

Get Lucky - Pitbull remix

is this real!? smfh

 

[jett]

Touch is a beautiful song.

I feel like I'm the only one who likes Within

>__>

It's grown on me a lot, but it seems cut short somehow. I bet Chilly Gonzales contributed much more material to the project than that.

 

[jokkir]

Touch would be better without that incredibly long intro of weird sounds

 

[Douglas Quaid]

Give Life Back To Music - ***** (love the epic synth scale climb, Niles' funky ass guitar work)
The Game of Love - **** (great chilled out track)
Giorgio by Moroder - ***** (a life in a song... I love you Giorgio)
Within - **** (another sweet downtempo track)
Instant Crush - ***** (obscenely catchy, fucking amazing)
Lose Yourself to Dance - *** (good, a bit too long/homogenous for me)
Touch - ***** (say what you will, its epic and 'touching', grand diversity of styles)
Get Lucky - ****
Beyond - ***** (excellent steel guitar, acoustic guitar... chilled out funk track yet again)
Motherboard - ***** (very atmospheric, the live instrumentation really shines, as well as the synth break and shift in mood)
Fragments of Time - ***** (that steel guitar)
Doin' it Right - *****
Contact - ***** (brain melting)

 

[Splatt]

I don't really mind the opening in Giorgio by Moroder. It's a really fascinating listen.

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

Someone with Photoshop skills needs to add either Thomas' or Guy's robot head onto this.

Touch is a beautiful song.

Truth.

 

[Error]

I love the talking in Giorgio, it's about the cues. "There was no preconception of what to do..." *cue in strings* YES!

 

[Divius]

I don't really mind the opening in Giorgio by Moroder. It's a really fascinating listen.

The question is; will it still be a fascinating listen when you're listening to the album for the 100th time?

 

[Nibel]

It's so great to have those two robots back

There will be a time when billionaires can afford to live on the moon - everybody else will have Daft Punk albums to compensate (and bacon)

 

[Dreaver]

Oh my god! What is this?!!! Kill it with fire!!

Will.i.am has competition for being worst musician.

Nice.

 

[goldsoundz]

Joining the "Touch" fan club. The only song that I actively dislike on this album is "Game of Love."
