Daft Punk are such perfectionists - they spent a 2 whole weeks on their last album...

Hahah, just what I was thinking!

 

 

Shame really. Human After All was clearly pushed out to get fans familiar with the material before they took it on tour. And that's really the only reason why HAA exists, to be mixed live. The Alive 2007 tour put it into context.

great post. i see this album as an attempt to do a "real" studio album that harkens back to the late 70s/early 80s when this kind of album-making achieved a certain peak. i love records from that

I've noticed some more opinions about this album having turned into considering a classic, or at least generally well liked. I loved Daft Punk, "Discovery" and "Homework" are two of my favorite a

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks RAM is absolute, complete garbage.

i don't buy that. after the fact, you can make any excuse for a shitty album to try to rationalize its existence, but it doesn't make it true.

they doing totally insane things like using real instruments and playing disco?that Todd Edwards dude is a piece of work.

Funnily he's the guy from records of whom Burial learnt his vocal chops, if I'm not mistaken. The chops that, needless to say, overruled the popular electronic music world. Edwards sounds like a bum in a limousine compared to Moroder and Rodgers.

for real? that is very interesting. he came off as someone who didnt know much as a producer. who doesnt know you multitrack instruments in a studio? i havent played anything since the alto sax in 8th grade marching band* and i knew that.

That's why i suspected that we were all being daft punked ... as viral marketing for the album .. hence my not driving to the back end of northern NSW for a non event.

 

Not that i don't like just randomly driving places for the sake of something to do. But there is a cost angle, and i'm not a bitcoin millionaire.

very surprised at the daft punk love here. I've always found them very simple repetitive. but not the good repetitive. just back to the hook for lack of ideas.

 

shit what should we do? maybe drop it out a bit, add a robot voice hook and then put four to the floor with high hats on the 8s? yea ok, just wear this helmet. cool.

They really know how to tease their fans with all these legendary episodes. It seems like they lift their own status way up by releasing this record. All these forgotten producers will shine once again and all seem to enjoy to collaboration with Daft and almost treat them like gods. Daft Punk really know how to connect the dots!

 

I pre-ordered the vinyl. Now let's hope it'll arrive one day ahead on the 20th of May, because that's my birthday :)

Yeah let's make something totally new, that sounds just like Homework.

 

I still have a pre-release boner for this record though.
