OrangeJoe Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Motherboard and Doin' it right are wicked. I like the album... Very laid back though, No Discovery. But a job well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Loving it so far. Completely different from everything Daft Punk has ever done... and yet completely Daft Punk. Nice trick there.Also, it's easy to say "not as good as Discovery," but I remember *very* clearly how disappointed my friends and I were on first listen of Discovery back in 2001. A LOT of curveballs on that record ("Digital Love"??) that we didn't quite "get" right away. Lest we forget, everyone went in expecting Homework Part II and got something very different.Not saying R.A.M. will hold up as well as Discovery, but it COULD.Which is not something you could ever say about Human After All. Ooof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooof. digital love is the best. how dare you "ooof" human after all? looking through RAM's tracklist, and it's easy to say that i really like every track i've listened to twice. i think there are 3 or 4 songs that i've only heard the first time through, and they just haven't left an impression. but it's going to be very hard to pick a favorite here.

filthyrich Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Sorry, but Human After All just has the sound of a band not caring. Basically every song is: One vocal, one sample, one beat, then repeat with no variation for 5+ minutes. Dance music is all about nuance and that album is lacking in a way Daft Punk never were before.Hell, I LOVED "Robot Rock" (still do)... But after hearing the original Breakwater sample, I realized all DP did was find an obscure sample and loop it for 5 minutes. (And add a vocoder singing "Rock, robot rock" over and over.) Lazy. All the Human After All tracks sounded infinitely better on the Alive 2007 album IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Such a mellow groove. Not what I expected. I dig it, but I don't love it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeJoe Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I love Human After All, I love Homework. I love Tron. I think i will love this record. But Discovery. That album is a masterpiece. Fragments of time has the most "Daft Punk" feel. Its a great album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiscodeman Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Daft Punk did exactly what they needed to do. Made an(other) EDM album with true staying-power. It's no Discovery, but that album is untouchable. They hyped this up like crazy with all those Creators Project interviews, but I personally am not let down at all. So happy about the final product. Album of the summer no doubt, and a natural shoe-in for AOTY. EDIT: It's so close to not even being an EDM album. Disco fuckin' revival.

booms528 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Wish this album came out in our Summer. I think the release is perfect. End of May, right as the summer starts, so you can blast it for the next 4 months with the windows down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbrh2001 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Giorgio By Moroder might be the best thing Ive ever heard them do on an album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I didn't realize people were so crazy about Discovery, what do I know. I guess it is just hard for me to forgive the album that unleashed "One More Time" on the world. I like the new one better this morning than last night. Only song I really dislike is Touch. This will be in the running to oust The English Riviera as my favorite summer album. tonyfranciosa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxUSSR Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'm a new daft punk fan, they only really caught my interest with the Tron soundtrack- Rinzler is the shit. I like RAM better than what I've heard them do before. Discovery is nice, never been crazy about Homework. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be in the running to oust The English Riviera as my favorite summer album. yeah, I'm with you. I'm a casual Daft Punk fan I guess, because I only really like Homework and the Tron score to-date, but this new one is tight. I even dig Touch, despite it's Andrew Lloyd Weber vibe... Motherboard and Georgio by Moroder are among the best things they've done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id hope they release the 24 bit digital files too so Ive got something to store on the ol' laptop dedicated to my setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 i'm on my fifth listen. so deeply in love with Instant Crush right now. as a whole, this album is lovely. the transition between tracks is delicate, precise, and fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 There's a great Pitchfork cover story on Daft Punk today that I think helps to understand the album and made me appreciate it more... http://pitchfork.com/features/cover-story/9131-daft-punk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Anonymous asked: Did you get to listen to the new Daft Punk Album or are you 2 alt 4 dat? Daft Punk is something you hear by accident, when you walk by any mall retailer or restaurant with a million televisions tuned to Sportcenter. It’s not something you seek out. 4:44 pm • 13 May 2013 • 23 notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeJoe Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 When it comes to pitchfork and daft punk. They are retarded. "Daft Punk seem to be operating under the premise that if you hear something enough times, you'll start to believe it. But after more than 15 listens to Discovery's first single and opening track, "One More Time," vocodered vocalist Romanthony doesn't have me "feeling the need," much less not waiting, celebrating, and dancing so free." If you don't like house music. don't review it. I can almost guarantee pitchfork will give this album a good review because it is trendy to like dance music now.

That quote you pulled is about as accurate as any I've ever read. Reading through their reviews I actually think they've been pretty fair.

That was just one review by one person. They recently put Discovery at #3 of their top 200 albums of 2000-2010. They also gave Alive 2007 and 8.5 and Musique Vol. 1 an 8.4. Get Lucky was tagged as Best New Music. They clearly don't hate Daft Punk; the album will get a high score because it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
