[Fleet_of_Foot]

Listened to the album probably 20 times through in the past week. Though all the tracks are good, Beyond is one that is starting to stand out. For me it's the drumming. Listen to that song and really focus on just the drumming. I don't know anything about drumming but it sounds like the dude has just such a light touch, so smooth.

If I had to pick one out that I care for the least, it might actually be Touch. I know everyone seems to love it but I just don't get it. I feel like it doesn't really build to anything and I find it disjointed.

 

[Dany]

I hate it when people feel the need to give us their 'score' for a song. Your rating means nothing to me.

You're pleasent. Then why participate in discussions about music if you're gonna be a big poop about what someone else says.

Definitely. I'm a drummer and am absolutely amazed by whoever the drummer is for this album. He has such an incredible feel for the sound he is producing, it's really something else.

 

[Messypandas]

Just listened to it. Wow, masterpiece. The drumming reminded me of chemical brothers which in turn reminded me of the beatles.

Then get out of the thread if you don't want to read other people's opinion.

Omar Hakim and John J.R. Robinson. They're studio legends, recorded for artists such as Michael Jackson, Miles Davis, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, John Fogerty and several others. The drumming in RAM is quite simply sweet as all fuck.

Yes it is. The drumming in Contact blows me away every time.

I listened to this on spotify last night. I haven't listened to daft punk in years but I did my best to give it a solid chance. I struggled to not skip songs and the last few tracks were a challenge not to turn it off and tip magazine racks. Technically it's all very good but its so empty and soulless, a little bit self indulgent at times. Get lucky was the obvious stand out single, give life back to music and segments of songs here and there were really great, contact for example, but it was inconsistent and some of the tracks were feeling like self indulgent rock opera and cheesy prog. I suppose they nailed the sound they were going for and like I said, technically brilliant but I just felt it was missing a lot. I'll give it another go, perhaps it's a grower, which I hope in a way, because otherwise my opinion is disappointment and feel its a mega-hyped duffer.

Are all the tracks available for you on Spotify? They're not for me.

 

[scotcheggz]

I think so, 13 tracks? I'm in the UK, free user just signed in through facebook.

 

[sgossard]

WTF? They are all available now for me too. I swear they weren't like 30 min ago. freaky stuff.

 

[bitoriginal]

2/10 post.

Would you prefer if we performed an interpretive dance routine to express our opinion of each song?

You're pleasent. Then why participate in discussions about music if you're gonna be a big poop about what someone else says.

Then get out of the thread if you don't want to read other people's opinion.

I'm all for discussion and opinion, but giving music an arbitrary score out of 10 is meaningless. Most people haven't been doing that anyway thankfully.

Spotify is really trolling me right now. An ad pops up for the album, click on it, still only "Within" is available.

 

[KingGondo]

Listening on Spotify right now.

Really enjoying it so far.

Same thing happened to me. First within only, then like 8 songs, then the full album.

Motherboard really grew on me lately.

[itwasTuesday]

Google play music all access thing has it.

 

[bigwinnerx]

Slightly annoyed the Amazon AutoRip hasn't been posted yet. At this point, I'll just get the CD in the mail today and the AutoRip bit was meaningless.

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Contact is my favorite track. Reminds me of Homework and the build-up is so good!

 

[JeTmAn81]

Listening to this on Rhapsody now. I paid no attention to it pre-release so I am amazed it is a disco album. Loving it!

 

[hobz360]

It's available on Spotify now, for the US folks....

Edit: Is there a place where I can buy the lossless version of the album in the US?

 

[AlphaTwo00]

iTunes synced it.

Left the house.

Finds out Contact didn't sync it to my phone.

Fuck.

google tells me https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=catalogdetail&valbum_code=HD886443984059 never heard of this site though.

Goddammit. Lies. It's still not available for me.

 

[Fenderputty]

Beyond is definitley up there. It's wonderful. The opening with the strings is awesome. I love all the live drum tracks on this album though. One of the reasons I dig it so much. The only stong I'm still not digging is "Within". There are a couple that are just OK, like The Game of Love. The rest is just rad though.

Thanks! First time I've heard of that site too.... Hmmm....

Here ya go: http://open.spotify.com/artist/4tZwfgrHOc3mvqYlEYSvVi

 

[UltimaPooh]

For anyone using Google Music All Access it is up on there as well.

 

[multivac]

Oooh my CD just arrived, hadn't bought a CD in probably ten years before Amazon started Autorip

 

[killertofu]

Got my copy at Walmart today. It was the only one... weird.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Love the album so far. Get Lucky is so fucking catchy.

 

[Jzero]

Finally on Spotify <3

 

[wenis]

listened to Horizon, it's definitely an epilogue to Contact.


Don't get your hopes up folks, it's a good track, calmer, but there is a reason why it comes after Contact.

 

[fifasnipe2224]

Doin' It Right > Giorgio > Lose Yourself To Dance > Get Lucky > Give Life Back to Music > Instant Crush > Fragments of Time> Touch > *the rest of the album.

Amazing album overall.

 

[IceCold]

Contact is the launch of the space shuttle and Horizon is when it reaches the calmness of space.

 

[kaskade]

In regards to the percussion, it is amazing. I almost want a little set to practice on. Maybe I'll have to bust out the Rock Band ones.

 

[killertofu]

I think Touch might be my favorite song now.

 

[MThanded]

Love amazon vinylrip. Got my Daft Punk vinyl in the mail. MP3s were already on the cloud available to download. I don't have to open the vinyl at all.

 

[mnannola]

The drumming on Giorgio literally made me go "Hell ya!" right after a big drum fill. Amazing drumming on this album.

 

[Dreaver]

Not sure if it's posted before, but I came across this Instant Crush (Heartfik Filterwork Remix) and thought it was pretty cool for club play.

 

[Owensboro]

Oooh my CD just arrived, hadn't bought a CD in probably ten years before Amazon started Autorip

Hah! I haven't bought a CD since the Stroke's Is This It. My CD just got delivered to my house, and I'm starting to get seriously geeked about opening a CD again. I hope the insert isn't super lame and actually has some liner notes. I'm doubting it

 

[kaskade]

Anyone get or have their yetee Daft Punk shirt shipped yet? I was hoping it would've been here by now to celebrate.

 

[RaidenZR]

I would really like to hear Horizon... in full. Is it legally available in mp3 or streamable anywhere yet?

Within is my third favorite track so far.

Instant Crush > Within > Get Lucky

 

[killertofu]

I wish I had good headphones to listen to this

Same here waiting for it to show up and nothing yet in the cloud, what a joke.

Horizon. Well, it's probably not going to get much sensational posts but hell, that is a pretty, pretty song.

Thanks for finding that!
