I can't remember the last time that I've been blown away by such a small preview of a song. It's random nights like this that actually make me glad I'm sitting on my computer on a Friday night.

 

[iAmMaximus]

Damn can you guys believe Pharell is 40 years old?? Must be drinking the Keanu juice.

as if my mind wasn't already blown.

 

[Fjordson]

Hmm, the harmonized part isn't actually that bad. Just that first line or two from Pharrell sounds flat and really awkward.

 

[Hieberrr]

 

[Peru]

Doesn't really matter what you think of Pharell. He sounds great on this.

 

[BrokenBox]

Peru nailed it.

 

[Fjordson]

Doesn't really matter what you think of Pharell. He sounds great on this.

I dunno, the beginning two lines threw me off. He sounds so lifeless.

It gets better after that, though. The section where you just see their silhouettes sounds so dope.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

DEM VOCALS

Catchy shit right there. Love it.

Yeah, when you first hear him it feels a little jarring but it grows on you the more you listen. I've come around to it.

Chilly Gonzales & J. Casablancas



OMGGGG

 

[Fjordson]

Agreed.

As a Strokes fan, I also love that Julian Casablancas is on this. Will be interesting to see how he sounds with DP's music.

The Pharrell and the Yessirs(Questlove and Pharrell reworking for live instruments) version of in my mind is one of the most amazing things ever. Damn I love that album. Should have gotten a retail release.

is there a link for that?

 

[aza]

Love it. After listening to it about a dozen times I realized it has the same chord progression as "Around The World". If you move that song's key up two notches and match the tempo to this you could even play the two songs over each other, it sounds great.

Didn't catch that myself, nice. I'm guessing that's exactly what they'll end up doing live at some point then!

I can't stress enough how hyped I am for this album, the Pharrell clip gave me chills. So. Fucking. Good.

 

[Timo]

God damnit I am so excited.

 

[Wix]

erhmagad

: ' )

 

[Wazzy]

It's soooo good. Pharell sounds great and I'm loving the beat. I need this album nao.

I need a 10 hour version of this while I'm playing Dota

 

[antipode]

 

[Midas]

God damnit I am so excited.

Pretty much this! I thought that they hyped it too much with the videos. But after this, I think that I actually won't feel letdown in the end after all.

 

[overcast]

Goddamn, that is a nice song.

 

[IamMattFox]

That track sounds so good.

 

[Divius]

Pharrell what are you doing, get of this track.

 

[BeeDog]

Tune is sounding good!

Also, here is something that's great:

SCNTST - Remix of Daft Punk | The Collaborators: Nile Rodgers - Video

 

[Jibbed]

Pharrell what are you doing, get of this track.

Get of this thread.

 

[Discotheque]

I'm assuming it will be pharell's turn to start sucking their dicks in the next collaborators video.

lol forreal those videos are terrible. daft punk makes catchy music and has some good albums.

this thread and those videos make them out to be gods.

 

[Majine]

Blasphemy!

[Ran rp]

I wasn't feeling Pharrell's vocals in the low quality video but in HD~ it's perfect.

 

[IamMattFox]

Seriously not the direction I thought they'd go after the SNL clips, but I like it a lot.

 

[wenis]

It's a hype thread leading up to a hyped up album... It's like you're purposefully ignoring people's unbridled enjoyment of the music these guys create. Perhaps they are gods. To some people.

no i'm aware of excitement. i once knew of that feeling a long time ago.

but those videos just put way too much praise on daft punk. it's like they wrote scripts for their collaborators to read.

who am i kidding. i say this shit about platinum games (gods) all the time anyways....

 

[Jibbed]

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but according to Wikipedia:

"Pharrell linked up with the duo & Nile Rodgers in the studios and placed vocals on three of the albums tracks"

 

[wenis]

Well it has been their shtick to really sell their brand of theatrics pretty hard. All the brown nosing in the video kinda goes along with those themes.

 

[Kaako]

My body is beyond ready to move to this album. There will be great times ahead.

 

[Dabanton]

Lol at people getting mad at Pharell being on the song.

He fits the mood perfectly.

 

[Red_Man]

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but according to Wikipedia:

 

[MNC]

Okay that was pretty fucking great. Love this approach. I want more!

 

[Tashi]

Just noticed in those credits at the end of the video is Julian Casablancas. Lead singer of the Strokes. FUCKING HYPE. The Strokes are sick and their latest album is awesome too

 

[Fjordson]

It is basically just elaborate PR, but it's neat to see legends like Moroder talk about music and disco in general.

And everyone will be able to come to their own conclusion about the record next month so we'll see if it lives up to the hype.

 

[MrGreencastle]

I'm beyond hyped for this music video on the 15th.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Awesome

 

[BeardyChan]

I wasn't feeling the vocals at first, but I'll give it a listen come the 15th. Just two more days till this single drops, I can't wait.

 

[superpickleman]

I like how they're continuing the pyramid motif with their chains.

I also love the fact that they're wearing chains period.

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

I love it, LOVE IT.

 

[raviolico]

fantastic, incredible stuff.

 

[Roude Leiw]

awesome first single.

 

[L1NETT]

Awesome stuff, cannot wait for Monday.

Chilly Gonzales + Daft punk = off the charts levels of amazing.
