One of those albums that literally makes me shrink back, tense up, and want to smash my speakers and cover my ears.

oh je.

does anyone still express this opinion in public?

"music sounds better with you" is the single most romantic phrase i can imagine! daft punk wish they could evoke a hundredth of that emotion, indeed a hundredth of that sonic pleasure

:D :D :D :D :D

Are you agreeing with the sentiment or smiling at the category error that underlies it?

the latter

151 feva gang "kush groove" is better than all daft punk songs tho, let's not front

truu

still have trouble with everything after "Crescendolls" outside of "Too Long" which is fucking class

yeah alright jordan, lol

lots of this record still stands up well. something like "face 2 face" is secretly one of the best songs ever made.

"face to face" even, not sure why i assumed it was a 2.

still one of my favourite records IMO

don't know why I wrote IMO just there, of course my favourite records are my opinion ;-)

go in through the air go in through the air go in through the air go in through the air go in through the air go in through the air go in through the air go in through the air go in through the air go inthrzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i thought that song was golf in the air

love in the air?

gophers

up into the air

oh wait no

alright i'm gonna give this puppy another spinarooney, stay tuned folxxx

Here's Barry Manilow to clarify.

"face to face" is still the best thing on this - Crescentdolls, Short Circuit, etc are the secret keepers once you get past the frontloaded singles

i'm sure our tongues were nowhere near our cheeks

cosign j0rd and rev

"veridis quo" is my favorite on this.
I always prefer their more moody pieces ("emotion", "make love", many tracks on Tron...).

"light it up and get groovy baby" is the single most romantic phrase i can imagine! daft punk wish they could evoke a hundredth of that emotion, indeed a hundredth of that sonic pleasure

"alright i'm gonna give this puppy another spinarooney, stay tuned folxxx" is the single most romantic phrase i can imagine! daft punk wish they could evoke a hundredth of that emotion, indeed a hundredth of that sonic pleasure

Yes.

Why do you hate it so much Melissa?

I like bits of Discovery but I can totally get in the headspace of people who don't like Discovery. It's repetitive. When there is musical development, it's predictable. It sounds like a digital nightmare. There's side-chain compression everywhere. Unless you're already totally 100% on board with the Daft Punk retro-futurist stripped-down space-disco aesthetic, you won't like Daft Punk.

I enjoy that description of the album but don't know if the conclusion's fair because IMWOYP Daft Punk were a huge gateway electronica 'band' thing
