the drums on giorgio are killing it

omar hakim, fuck yeah

"instant crush" is gorgeous

man

I heard Tony McCarroll

i don't think so?

i remember going to see a john robinson clinic when i was a kid, he talked about how quincy etc would record him warming up, just fucking around and busting chops, and then punch in little bits of that for the crazy drum intros on 'baby be mine' etc.

the ... sleepiness? ... of pharrell's vocal on get lucky makes more sense now

is touch trolling

HOLY SHIT @ THE END OF GIORGIO

"touch" is otherworldly disco prog

i am dying

backlash will be collossal

^^ OTM. Already in full swing on twitter etc.

loving the album version of "get lucky"

what a super duper disappointment.

Dunno about Tony McCarroll but some of those baselines are unmistakably Bonehead.

Friend of mine is saying that the iTunes stream is different from leak? Is he on drugs y/n?

probably

"actually"

One thing I am confused about is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1CLNdg0H2c

I don't hear that in the actual 'Lose Yourself to Dance' - maybe I am on drugs?

because that's fake

I got 1:46 into this before I got bored

maybe another time

Uh oh

the drummmmms on "motherboooaaarrrrd"

Anticipation threads like this one would be a lot more enjoyable if they could be locked for 3 months, starting the second it stops being anticipation.

obviously they are ok with it leaking?

if i were the person at apple who authorised the enormous amount of money presumably required to secure a streaming "exclusive" i would at least hope that this wasn't the case..

so far this album sounds like late 70s Herbie Hancock deepcuts

Totally get that vibe on track 2 Rev. My exact thought was 'this sounds like the bitter end of the relationship from 'I Thought It Was You'.

This is grown folks music, for real.

Quoth a breathless industry/DJ/artist friend:

"Daft Punk new album Random Access Memories is now streaming on iTunes a week before the release. I'm so glad to be able to share the absolute revelation and inspiration of this record with all of my friends. The Paul Williams track may be one of the best songs ever recorded. It's been a beautiful process to see Artists and their team work so hard and so brilliantly with such passion and focus for so long and forge such a perfect and timeless record. It's my generations Abbey Road. Cancel your week and listen to it on repeat. Two predictions. This album going to make millions of kids learn how to play instruments again and Paul Williams will win a Grammy for best male vocal performance. The world has just been made a better place. Fucking celebrate the gift of Daft Punk and thank them for caring enough to give a fuck and making a heart melting, mind bending record. In a world of hyperbole this record brought tears of joys and sorrow to my eyes on first listen. It has the heft of Kubrick film. A masters Masterpeice! Long live music. It's a good day to be alive. Thank You Robots."

this is atrocious

if this wasn't by daft punk etc etc

'this sounds like the bitter end of the relationship from 'I Thought It Was You'.

OTM!

hehe, tlg

no i'm serious. for all the hate i spewed i assumed it would at least be better than this. from mediocre to unlistenable.

"unlistenable" wtf xpost

feel like a lot of people are going to hate this but hey

it's meant to be middlebrow, man

can't we lock this thread until such time as you people have had a chance to listen

i.e. me

Those blog one-listen reviews seem halcyon now

haha
