Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

but 256 aac is "better" that 256 mp3

damn i forgot about this song until logging in to iTunes just now, this used to be my jam:

itunes is making it really difficult to get this!

Amazon has it.

On repeat.

LIKE THE LEGEND OF THE PHOENIX

ugh nvm i am denied on itunes and amazon because i'm in canada.

maybe i will just listen to the track *we* leaked you robot bastards.

noticeably fuller-sounding than the leaked version on my headphones

So has this been officially released already? Any changes for the leaked version?

just purchased. still sucks.

ok it's not THAT bad but it's worthy of about 1/1000th the hype. "legend of the phoenix" is kind of brilliant though.

i think it's fantastic

As many times as I've listened to snippets, fanmade composites, the 128k leak and now the higher quality version, I'm still not even the slightest bit sick of it. Don't imagine I will be any time soon. So yes, it doesn't suck.

idgi

*checks ears*

maybe i just need to accept that these guys don't make house music anymore, they make pablum

maybe i just need to accept that these guys don't make house music anymore

Welcome to the 21st Century.

i find this immediately appealing in the same way i do an ice-cream truck jingle. it's catchy, perfect, incredibly boring and not because of such - it's just pastiche and provides nothing in innovative qualities.

i like this

didn't hear any of the fakes or w/e, but listening to the official itunes one with nice headphones and it sounds real nice

Our neigbourhood ice-cream truck only serves ice cream with innovative qualities.

there is this super cool subtle guitar sound when Nile goes from the D5 to the F#m7, like a pinky drag across the fret on the b-string...

sounds like it might be processed a little?

or doubled with the rhodes? I only hear it during the breakdown.

i listened like 5 different versions of 'get lucky' in the last half hour. wtf?

this song wins

Oh, so you're about a third of the way through them then. xp

the 97 steps edit sounds kind of cool

"provides nothing in innovative qualities."

people sound like such fucking nerds when they say stuff like this. since when is music required to be "innovative" and since when should that be evident w/in 2 hours of a piece of music being released?

reminds me of

"It's practically brainwashing, isn't it? 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. This could just be me, of course. Maybe I just haven't taken enough ecstasy and horse tranquilizers to appreciate the tinny, sampled brass ensemble, the too-sincere "chill out" midsection, or the fat drum machine beats that throb in time with my headache."

i used to hate 'one more time'

I don't know what's real anymore! ;_;

now on spotify too fwiw

so when Daft Punk sits down with Niles Rogers to talk.. or share a meal, do they keep the helmets on? Is this one of those things where they never break character like Alf?

Nile

Rodgers

Ahah. One-two punch.
You've been daft punk'd !

Interesting interview... Oddly enough they mention their track with panda bear as the only "electronic" song n this album.

I have to sleep, if I have time ill do a translation tomorrow for you guys.

i have paid 0 attention to this promo campaign til now but u guys this song is pleasant but kinda boring

uh oh

Haha you would be totally vibing out to it if it didn't have the words 'Daft Punk' attached to it.

is there a reason this has 900 new answers pre-release btw? i have literally paid NO attention to it

It HBFS vocoders over a classic Chic groove. That's good enough for any summer.

it's not objectionable or anything it's just kinda dull. people are going nuts over this because...

Yeah that's the thing, if it were just put out by some other nu-disco producer then it wouldn't have the thousand-post thread and the hysteria. But it's a lot better than that, and not every jobbing nu-disco producer can get Nile Rodgers on a track.

It's about:

300 posts of people handwringing about Julian Casablancas/Pharrell/Panda Bear
200 posts of people posting "we're up all night to get lucky" over and over again
400 posts of people torturously debating whether or not the track is fake

+ 1 zillion posts of pharrell_otm.gif

I'm putting this in a playlist with "Rock Your Body"

+ loads and loads of 'daft punk is/is not equal to the following bands'

Yeah that's the thing, if it were just put out by some other nu-disco producer then it wouldn't have the thousand-post thread and the hysteria. But it's a lot better than that

there's a ton of jobbing nu-disco around right now that's better than this, even minor stuff! and would you know it was nile rodgers if you hadn't been told?

300 posts of people handwringing about Julian Casablancas/Pharrell/Panda Bear
