Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

*feels

touch is the real standout here insofar as it's the most obvious piece of shit. the moroder track is vv good, game of love and instant crush better than that. i kinda like the panda bear one. the rest is kind of w/e.

white linen, translucent prints, strappy footwear, salt spray, rum drinks. someone is wearing a captain's hat. no one thinks twice about what anything costs. ever.

i just accidentally downloaded a leak of human after all from 2005

get lucky sounds good on a dance floor i think. but outside of that i don't like it *that* much.

i'm wearing khakis, a johnny cash t-shirt, and a minnesota vikings track jacket/zip-up, K-SWISS shoes (important note they are blue suede uppers with WHITE stripes, as u know it's very hard to find K SWISS that aren't black on white or white on white, found these at Friedman's shoes in North Mpls off the Broadway/94 W exit, very good sneaker store, check it out if you are in mpls)

also i never knew who sang this "i would never wanna be like you" song but it turns out it's alan parson's project....

'touch' is really good but I've been on a disco kick all weekend so I'm really feeling those ~vibes~

something in Williams' delivery reminds me of Shatner, gives me a good hit of cheese

hit of cheese is undeniable, good part up for debate

the Panda Bear track runs out of inspiration after a minute but, yeah, otm, and the only context in which I wanna hear him.

I have listened to this record front to back 4 times now. Thoughts:

- It is melancholy, yet lascivious
- Robot blues, tears creeping down metal masks a lot of the time
- Love making
- Groovy, soul, intimate
- First-listen reviewers all over the world have failed HORRIBLE. Not one word about from them about the melancholy on this record.
- This record will be butchered on social media (because of the insane build up, that also gathered a lot of people otherwise not interested in DP into the "viral" (ugh) side of it)

expect it's gonna get hit hard by generation skrill

I think my dad might like Touch if he heard it, he listened to a lot of Three Dog Night and Chicago in the late 70s.

two tracks in, it is quite like tellier's sexuality, no problem with that at all, one of the best records of the last few years. arise guy man your time to get credit is finally here.

- It is melancholy, yet lascivious
- Robot blues, tears creeping down metal masks a lot of the time
- Love making

weeping fuck robots is what you're saying

tellier's one of the best i meant, i'll wait to hear the rest of this before deciding i like it or repeatedly shouting it's shit to the uncaring cosmos.

Totally, yes

xp

Is it really a binary? I'm horniest when I'm sad, like any good robot.

Yes!

yes what

This record is sexy as hell imho

Yes that

on the second listen, the first six tracks are basically flawless. "game of love", moroder and casablancas are the high points, but nothing's far behind.

and yeah, sexy as hell

Metronomy did this california yacht rock vibe way better

Metronomy did this california yacht rock vibe way better

eagh, you owe everyone itt a big apology

all of the carping about Panda Bear I expected something unlistenable. it's fine!

lex love u but yr undergarments are realllllly tightly bunched

"within" is lovely

i'm a mild at best fan of daft punk but i did get a bit off a "OMG I LOVE BACON AND CORNDOGS" type frontin' on twitter w/r/t everyone being so "excited" about Get Lucky, i feel like it was half ppl that new One More Time and that youtube the people's hands with magic marker doing the better faster stronger song

Beyond is this record's Voyager.

omg GENE CERNAN sample on 'Contact' spacenerd squeeeeeeeeeeeeee

okay this julian casablancas track sounds kinda like... ke$ha or something. in the chorus.

casablancas track kinda sucks imo.

I'm listening to it for the first time now. Giorgio by Moroder is 10/10.

LOSE YOURSELF TO DANCE

COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON

otm

Overstuffed and undercooked, this thing. So sad.

i love them for inflicting this record on ordinary people with lives

that's my reaction to "touch"

i love them for inflicting this record on ordinary people with lives

lol otm those daft punk youtube girls are currently trying to figure out why they are listening to some 70s lite rock prog album

these songs will be easily digestible when mashed together alive 2007 style tho

^^ In an ideal world, this always is the perfect, one and true answer

my overriding feeling listening to "Give Life Back To Music" is that I'd rather just listen to Chic

okay serious lol time @ "The Game Of Love"

I don't care all that much about this so far but I am enjoying it more than Discovery

Fragments of Time is exceptional.

in a good way, I mean.

I really like Instant Crush but there are a couple of songs on the new Strokes album that would fit better on this album.

Lose Yourself to Dance is huge, maybe my favourite song so far.

i lost track of what's what but the instrumental arpeggio thing, possibly motherboard, is amazing.

"Fragments of Time" is my favorite -- not a bad Doobie Bros approximation.

Yeah, they turned him into Michael McDonald! Didn't know Todd had that in him.

contact is awesome, with that feedback that sounds like an engine, constantly in crescendo.
