i always figured HAA was a reaction to that whole 'trying to be daft punk' copycat thing that's persisted for the last 10 years or so. especially the way things were heading around 2004-5 with certain scenes getting bigger, louder, brasher, less conceptual, less futuristic-techno-robot-utopia-celebration, more mid 00s-anxietyridden-dystopia. i find a lot of that boys noise/justice/simian mobile disco type scene really ugly.
But didn't HAA essentially encourage more of that type of sound?
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 5 March 2013 14:11 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I raised an eye at that, HAA basically *is* that sound.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 5 March 2013 14:14 (eleven years ago) link
HAA was maybe more tongue in cheek than it seemed? i dunno - it's kind of a crap album but in the context of Alive 2007 it's very good. In the same way I don't think Homework really sounds too good these days after seeing what they did with those tunes later on. Discovery still sounds good though.
― frogbs, Tuesday, 5 March 2013 14:41 (eleven years ago) link
HAA was a practical joke AFAIC
― dog latin, Tuesday, 5 March 2013 15:02 (eleven years ago) link
i listened to discovery all the way through for the first time in what must be years yesterday and it sounded glorious. i forgot how many songs were on it!

"Digital Love" is still such an incredible track

yes, and one more time etc but i had forgotten how many OTHER tracks there were

I always skup One More Time. Never enjoyed it a great deal TBH.
― dog latin, Tuesday, 5 March 2013 15:26 (eleven years ago) link
more like one less time
― zero dark (s1ocki), Tuesday, 5 March 2013 15:26 (eleven years ago) link
tbh Alive 2007 ruined pretty much all DP for me since I only want to hear the version of "One More Time" that goes into "Aerodynamic", or the "Superheroes" that runs with "Human After All". I think "Digital Love" and maybe "Da Funk" were the only tracks spared from this (the former because it wasn't on Alive nor would it have fit, the latter doesn't really mix well with others). In that respect HAA felt like an "expansion pack" release, none of those tracks were really good on their own but damn do they mix well with everything else.
― frogbs, Tuesday, 5 March 2013 15:30 (eleven years ago) link
Shit, I've had Alive 2007 hanging around since... must be 2007, and I still haven't given it a proper spin. Will change that tonight.
― dog latin, Tuesday, 5 March 2013 15:36 (eleven years ago) link
it still feels odd to me since I had downloaded their infamous Coachella set and that summer I had coworkers who loved DP so we listened to that all the freakin time - when Alive came out it was basically the same but with some minor differences so it always felt a little weird to me
― frogbs, Tuesday, 5 March 2013 15:41 (eleven years ago) link
Alive 2007 is pretty much the only Daft Punk album I listen to as an album.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 5 March 2013 15:42 (eleven years ago) link
Listened to Alive 2007 at 6am on Friday night/saturday morning at full blast whilst high on life/beers/cocaine and can confirm that it is still GLORIOUS.

Nathan East is the slept-on collaborator here. Dude's played bass for Barry White, Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Lionel Richie, Aretha, Whitney and scores of other greats. Hoping they'll be using him a lot.

I also read somewhere that they were possibly working with some of the studio musicians that worked on Thriller, though I'm not sure who.

They've only been working with him for 12 years, his involvement is plainly going to transform their process

Have a friend who works in a mastering plant who told me a couple of tracks were made with noted game changer Shigeru Miyamoto.

The .gif from Interstella has me thinking: won't it be amazing if this is a really big record and they win a main award at the Grammy's and they just blink "Thank You!" and ":)" ?!!!

might as well feel hopeful rather than jaded, at least we'll have a few weeks/months of excitement to savour
― zero dark (s1ocki), Thursday, 7 March 2013 00:01 (eleven years ago) link
True, but it's viral/omg/15secs/commercials stuff excitement. It's not the same as true anticipation.
Maybe my robot heart battery is just dying, I can't keep up with this viral/commercial stuff any more. Loathe the buzz.

This kind of hype would be fine if they suddenly announced it was coming out on Monday (MBV style) but I'm sure it'll be a few weeks until we get an album title, then another week until we get a release date. Basically we're probably not going to hear this until July and I'm just feeling too impatient already.
