New M83 song "Do It, Try It"

Especially since the chorus doesn't really match any of DP's sounds and that second verse sounds way too fake to resemble Random Access Memories. Eric Prydz might be a closer comparison.

It's alright.
It just showed up on itunes. I really love the way Solitude builds up. Great song.
I stopped caring for this band after Before the Dawn Heals US and the breakup. All the atmosphere went when that happened.
As such, I don't think this song is as bad as the overly obnoxious synth of Hurry Up.

Best album is the eponymous one.
Hrm, I can see that.
Sounds like an almost alternative rock song from the 90s. Almost like an attempt at Bjork.

Why the long case?
Haha, holy shit the backlash. I didn't expect that at all. I loved it the first time I heard it.
It's GAF.
Predominant negativity is not a surprise here anymore to me, just look at most every other thread in OT (especially those related to media such as latest movie trailers and such).

I mean, it's a HEAVY switch from most M83 tracks that I like, so you have to look at it that way

I liked Saturdays = Youth, absolutely LOVED Hurry Up, I played it over and over for months on end. I liked his work on Oblivion, as well.
This is just... a hearty wtf?
I will still give the new album a full listen, it's just nothing from it so far is having an impact on me like the previous albums did.

I'm really curious to hear this album now. I'm not even sure how I feel about the two tracks so far.
I don't see how it's so different.
I thought the shift from the electronic shoegaze ambient amalgam to sappy synth-pop was more harrowing.
I get so many references from "Do It, Try It" but I can't put my finger on them. Still, it's like the sound has traveled to the late 80s and 90s. I think I may like M83 again.
I can't stop playing it. :? Though my previous repeat song was Moderat - "Reminder (Special Request Remix)."
I have to agree with hateradio here, the shift on Hurry Up and to a lesser extent Saturdays from the previous records was more significant, so I just don't see it.I don't see how it's so different.

Both of the songs have the quintessential M83 sound laced throughout.
Most probably won't remember, but there was a lot of backlash when Saturdays = Youth released. People new to M83 loved it, but a lot of older fans hated it... And yet look how that turned out. It's almost like that was a dream as I rarely hear anything negative about it now. M83 has always been changing, nothing new now

That I like
The switch from Teen Angst/We Own The Sky to Steve McQueen/Midnight City isn't neaaarly as abrupt as this shit to ms
Remember, they went from the Oblivion soundtrack to this single. It's jarring. And it's very easy to quantify.

An acquaintance of mine is gonna be their keyboardist I believe
This album is 3 for 3 so far, and this might be the best track yet.
Music reviews are complete and utter trash 98% of the time so this doesn't mean much but Q Mag in the UK gave Junk 5 out of 5 in their latest issue. They loved it.

Don't get the hate. Still sounds distinctively like an m83 song

'Go!' is easily my favorite of the three tracks released so far. It's got such a fresh vibe to it, definetely going to be a summer jam. Love the vocals, the solo is outstanding. It's got the same energy that made me fall in love with Hurry Up.
I was on uneasy feet about this album after 'Do it, Try it', but I am fully onboard after this.

Same here. None of this sounds like iconic M83 to me. Really hope the other tracks are better. Was one of my of my most anticipated albums along with Hammock and Explosions In The Sky and those delivered. Worried about this one.

I've been aware of M83 since 2005, and always thought that I was supposed to be into this music. But I have never found an M83 album where all (as opposed to a couple) of the songs appealed to me, until this one. It'll be the first one I buy.
Is that so wrong?

It literally became available like 25 minutes ago. I got a notification that my pre-order was ready to download at like 11:40 and same for my Deftones pre-order. Walkway Blues is such a good song and so far this whole thing is pretty great.

iTunes releasing stuff at 11pm eastern the day before is pretty typical.
Actually, I never preorder on iTunes anymore because you can just start downloading directly if you buy as soon as it releases. If you preorder it actually takes longer for it to become "ready" on the servers. I had to wait until the next morning, once.

Just finished listening to the album and I really enjoyed it so far after my first listen. Certainly has an 80's vibe to it and overall it's super catchy. Some of the stand out tracks for me so far are
Try it, Do It
Go!
Walkway Blues
Solitude
Laser Gun
The Wizard
Gonna give it another go now.
I usually do because you get the singles when they become available.

As one review reminded me: this album is for you if you listen to Spandau Ballet of your own free will.
I am flush with recommendations for this kind of callback music (or actual music from the time, too), and I'm always looking for more. Hit me up any time.

Had no idea this was out. Listening now.
There's no song on here like it, but it all fits in the same world.

Not feeling the album at all. I actually think the comparisons are dead on to Daft Punk. This sounds like M83's version of RAM. A departure that is either a hit or miss for people. For me, it's a complete miss.
If I wanted to listen to Air, I would listen to Air. Not a cheap sounding knock off, which is what Junk comes off as for me. Such a shame too, because I really liked the direction M83 was going after Saturdays.

I'll have to give it a few more listens to let it sink in, but first impressions weren't that great. Honestly, dvsn's album SEPT. 5th has blown me away, so all my attention has been focused on replays for that.

Still listening through it, and it's wonderful so far. I've enjoyed every song, not been tempted to skip anything yet. I think I might end up enjoying this more than HUWD. It's certainly not as bloated, which is slightly ironic considering the name of the album.
Loving it.

The two albums don't really have anything to do with each other other than drawing inspiration from different sources that happened to exist in the same decade. I doubt there's any correlation between liking/disliking them.

As a long time Daft Punk fan since Homework, I think it is. Never have I felt so disappointed in an album like I did with RAM. And the writing was on the wall when the first song leaked, could not believe my ears. I even remember speculation on GAF that since it was just the radio single, it was vastly different and what would be on the album would be closer in line to trademark Daft Punk.
RAM felt like the type of album an artist puts out to fill a contract obligation. It was Daft Punk and Friends, not Daft Punk.
