Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

[o00o]

1.- Shit

2.- 9/10

3.-6.6/10

4.- 6.7/10

5.- 3/10

6.- 1/10 wow vocals really ruined it

7.- 7.8/10

8.- 2/10

9.- 7.9/10

10.- 8.6/10

11..- 8/10 only for the beat

12.- 7/10

13.- 6.5/10

 

Interesting move by Daft Punk. A bit dissapointing, though... Imho, this is a 6.5-7/10 album. Not that great. The Game of Love is incredibly good, though.

 

I agree with song 10 being the best one

[manmower]

It's marvelous, can't wait to get mine in the mail so I can stop listening to this shitty rip.

[Alzado]

surprisingly mellow album so far. :/

 

 

Game of Love made my wiener soft. Giorgio is great.

 

 

 

 

goddamn I can't take these fart noises.

[Jaffa]

I think it's a mad record, totally all over the shop and wildly ambitious. Love it after one full listen.

[Alzado]

Lose Yourself To Dance is great

[NorthernFusion]

I honestly never cared about this, but upon hearing it, I may have to grab a copy.

[Friendly Foil]

From what I'm hearing in chatmm right now, this album is supposed to be really really good.

[Amen Lare]

Typical major label high-definition bullshit. Except the very ending and Panda bear track, cause it's very basic, just doesn't throw shit at you.

[jhonny]

Not feeling it. Will give it a couple of spins tomorrow at work and see if I get into it.

i think they were being sarcastic, this album is decent but definitely nothing special. Seems much more organic and funky and less thumpy grimey synths and the track with panda bear sounds... trap? influenced. Over all for me the album is like a 7.3/10, none of the tracks are unbearable (except maybe the 2nd half of the last song which is just distortion with increasing intensity til it crackles away) but there's nothing new or exciting about it

pretty dull album, lets start compiling a list of contemporary albums that are trying to do the same thing but better, not really massively better but:

[NorthernFusion]

Nevermind. This sucks. Thanks for nothing, Daft Punk.

[joshuatxuk]

about to listen to a copy of it at work

 

if it sucks I'm going to add some white noise, rip it on tape with Dolby C added, then slow that down 30% and dub that onto my old reel to reel, rip that onto a bad VHS tape, and play it on my old stereo speakers until new BoC leaks

[KovalainenFanBoy]

Blunder of the century

[vamos scorcho]

i thought it was good

[YangYing]

I am dissapoint.

[funkaholic]

when you consider the amount of time & money (and hype) thats probably gone into this album, who they've hired to work on it, the production values, the fact that its daft punk who can be fantastic & this is what they release. its very disappointing.

[Guest igloos unlmtd]

maybe too conventional song structures. the songs seem too long & don't have any 'woaaaah' moments.

 

the panda bear track is a real let down.

 

the todd track is pretty strange. i like the chorus production - typical todd but the overall song is kinda boring.

 

overall i say boring album.

a good album doesn't need this level of over the top promotion. i knew something was amiss when we were 10 deep into promo videos.

[Kavinsky]

This Album should be an "EP or a bonus Lp" its to different for what Daft Punk stands for.

Listen to the last minute of CONTACT ,the last track on the Album maybe its a hint for the "real" next Daft Punk Album.

[funkaholic]

it has lots of really great sounds in it but whats done with those sounds isn't as interesting as the sounds them selves.

[vamos scorcho]

"fragments of time" is pretty great. I'll listen to it again. the casablancas track is terrible as is the panda bear. a lot of it could have been better with a little more work but the idea is good and its very well produced on the whole.

 

still a better listen than 99.99% of other "album based" music coming out

[TheTransitionary]

sounds like they read a comment on the internet saying 'electronic music is not real music' and got offended so picked up a bunch of real instruments and made an album with them without really knowing how to use them. i guess they are going for this retro-funk glossy disco kind of thing and I was psyched for that but it has come out pretty cheesy and just ultimately boring imo... the whole concept could have been totally badass but its just... making me want to turn it off. it needs to be shorter at least, or not kick off with such a tight cluster of boring/slow/cheesy songs (1st track is pretty good though, despite going nowhere)

Indeed, for example "instant Crush" sounds at the beginning very catchy but than its going nowhere,.,..

[Guest igloos unlmtd]

yeah too slow too many vocals no dance music in the dance music

[funkaholic]

bah, something like this fruity loops produced track is miles better then the entire album
