Since when have lyrics been all that important to a Daft Punk song? One of my favorite songs is Digital Love, and I really like the lyrics on that song, but I'd be the first to admit that they're not at all groundbreaking.Originally Posted by Rudi
Personally, I think Get Lucky works as a single. It gives you a taste of the retro vibe that the album is going for. I wouldn't be surprised if there were better songs on the album, but Get Lucky serves it's purpose. It's not meant to change the world (no matter what the Collaborators videos say). It's meant to be a funky little song to groove to, and in that regard I think it works.
Homework is one of my favorite albums, but I don't see them making another album like that. I felt like they somewhat tried to do that with Human After All, and while I do enjoy that album, it doesn't feel as genuine as Homework and Discovery. (Yes, I tried to avoid using the word "robotic" in that last sentence.) Just from the single and the enthusiasm that seems to have been generated, I feel like they're more passionate about this album than the last one. I don't think they would have thrown out all the work they did had they not thought that there was a better album to be made.I miss the more techno sound of Homework.

I quite enjoy it, especially coupled with these visuals!

Did anyone get to hear Giorgio By Moroder before it got taken down? I was too late

Double post, but i thought this was pretty bump-worthy.

Not sure if this has been posted, but Jack Conte is awesome.

That main keyboard lick sounds very Moroder-ish, but it also reminds me of a slowed down version of the Phenomena theme by Goblin.

That was badass. I kinda forgot about this guy. I went through a big Conte phase a few years ago. His youtube videos are all awesome.

I read a review yesterday comparing Random Access Memories to Air's 10,000 hz Legend. Then in an interview on Radio one they said that in terms of remixes for this album there "will probably be a Daft Punk remixes Daft Punk". These are both very good things!

The full 6 min version of Get Lucky is so fuckin' hot...ugh.
Also if anyone's interested, there's a video of DP playing a rave in 1996 here.

It sounds like the second half of Discovery expanded upon.

This is pretty cheesy
Get Lucky was fun, but a lot of this album just does nothing for me. Will give a few more spins, but that's just my first impression.

I agree though this is really it's own beast in a way too. I can tell I like this but this is something I'm going to need more time with.
tempus est umbra in mente
well, the intro bit and the end of the Giorgio Moroder song are awesome
But everything about this song "Touch" makes me feel insane. The melodramatic intro is embarrassing, and then when the beat kicks in it sounds like the casino music in a JRPG.

Contact and Motherboard are the two best tracks on the album in my opinion followed by Get Lucky and Giorgio By Moroder. The rest is so disappointing. I really hope it ages better with time, kind of like Human After All.
Fuck, why couldn't the entire album just be like Contact?
Throbbing Member
Touch feels out of place with the rest of the album.
I was listening to Herbie Hancock yesterday, parts of this could fit right in.
People complained about Human After All when it first came out, then they heard the songs live.
I believe Contact dates back almost a decade ago. That's why it's different.

horrible vocals...
too much cheese and sappiness for me

Love the new album. Not sure what everyone else was expecting, but it lived up to my expectations. Oh well. Can't please everybody.
Active Member
Okay guys. I think I like Random Access Memories but I can understand people's confusion/let down.
tempus est umbra in mente
It has some great moments, some really great moments, and a lot of stuff that annoys the hell out of me. Contact is great, Giorgio by Moroder is awesome, Get Lucky is undeniably catchy and well constructed (even if I don't personally care for it), Motherboard is pretty awesome in the beginning and holds on for the most part...
The low points on this album are a travesty, and I'm not even talking about the disco vibe that I just personally can't get behind. Does anyone actually like that Fragments of Time song?
The Virus Inside
Wow, they followed up the Tron Legacy soundtrack up with that!?
Not my cup of tea at all. Since when did Daft Punk become a 70's disco band? Where did the hard electronic beats go??
Probably the most overly hyped releases of the last 5 years. So much build up for such a big let down.
EDIT:
Holy Fuckaroos! I wrote the above before I heard Contact... what a beast of a song!!!!
You said it richardp, you said it! If the whole album was like Contact and Giorgio By Moroder this would be one of the best releases in a loooong time.
The only thing about Giorgio by Moroder I can't get behind is the the weird guy talking at the intro and midway into the song...

Contact and Giorgio By Moroder are actually my least favorite tracks on the album. Not that I don't dig them, but they don't have the staying power that something like Touch or Give Life Back To Music do for me.
And unless you had your head buried in the sand for the past year, I can't see why you would expect anything on this album to sound like, say, Rollin' & Scratchin' or Superheroes. It was never going to be that kind of album, and I think it's better off for not being that kind of album.
Oh, you mean the guy that the song is named after and who they collaborated with to create it? Yeah, I wish he'd shut up.

why is everyone labeling the album a let down? if it's a let down for you, ok. but don't speak in general. for me its the first album they did, that I like and for that I'm not labeling it a masterpiece or the entire discography of them a crap - cause i dont like none of it (beside Tron soundtrack).
if im honest, I dont really get all the hype behind the release. there are a lot of other bands that did more for music than daft punk. they didnt invent dance or electronic music ffs... ?!
i see it as a comeback and a really nice album which i'll be listening a lot during the summer - perfect music for summer, sea, sun, hanging outside and having fun. its positive and light. I love it for that.
maybe I like it because i dont really get all their previous album efforts... I love electronic music, but for me, their albums are just boring and a let down - for me, not generally. I see why people love it and i understand why they dont get RAM for that.
I did my first listen just after sex, wrapped with my boy, lying on the couch, windows open - the breeze of summer coming in, smoking a cig and having a gin tonic... and I can tell you that the music they made is perfect for that. the right mood, the right melody. they nailed it!
Its interesting to see all the critic and love for the album. It's like Shaking the habitual release all over again
