My affection for "Get Lucky" withered quickly too. I was all there for Nile Rodgers.

Random access memories is probably the album which most quickly dissipated for me, it’s just not that great.

There is no such thing as a bad record only a bad person for putting themselves in the trajectory of the object

or a bad person for putting in a place where it shouldn't be. But if you shouldn't be there its your fault and not the person who made the record

"fragments of time" is good

the chorus doesn’t deliver thothe one with the strokes guy is good, “lose yourself to dance” is good until the robots start going ‘cmon cmon cmon cmon cmon, “touch” is pretty incredible, the rest doesn’t move me. “Game of love” would be alright if they had gotten Lou gramm to sing it.

lol even though I don’t like the album (and kinda hate it conceptually), it does bum me out that ppl are cooling on it because i remember ilx went pretty crazy for it at the time and it was good vibes
― brimstead, Friday, 7 April 2023 19:38 (one year ago) link
fragments of time’s chorus suits the mood, it doesn’t need a big pop hook imo

kylie’s “can’t beat the feeling” is perhaps accidentally a vv slightly similar-sounding precursor to “get lucky” and it’s better. Should have been one of Aphrodite’s singles.

I got swept up in the RAM hype a bit but in the end it didn’t have the tunes or much that lingered. Homework is still my top daft punk.
― omar little, Friday, 7 April 2023 20:00 (one year ago) link
I would still kinda bop around if I heard "Get Lucky" and have residual affection, but I am almost completely oblivious to mainstream radio and rarely encounter it in the wild so it's not too overplayed for me
not as into Hey Ya (prob cuz of the weird rhythm stuff, thx as always to the ilx musos for explaining)

I started getting into “Get Lucky” after seeing Chic do it multiple times. Pharrell’s vocals can go get fucked tho

the only Daft Punk album I ever wanna listen to anymore is Alive 2007. it astounds me that a group so tapped into the soul of the dance floor and the idea of electronic music as a living organism put out something so tepid and strung out. I mean RAM is definitely a good album but I'm worn out just thinking about putting it on again
― frogbs, Friday, 7 April 2023 21:48 (one year ago) link
yeah, Alive 2007 is the best Daft Punk album. I don't know if that's a controversial opinion, it certainly seems obvious to me. They just took all the best bits of their albums and mashed them together perfectly.

daft punk got lucky a few times by riding different waves of disco gentrification but their music is just not very interesting on the whole

someone will point out how popular [insert alleged daft punk banger here] was in gay clubs and I'll be like sure but that's part of the problem
― Left, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 16:41 (one year ago) link
is that something inherent to their music or a byproduct of their mass popularity?
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Tuesday, 11 April 2023 17:55 (one year ago) link
Alive 2007 is also the only Daft Punk album I listen to, but I really only need 20-30 minutes of it. There's a LOT going on and I just want to move on to something else after a point.

daft punk never made a great album
(but alive 2007 comes close, the discovery singles are undeniable, etc.)

Agree on both of those posts though I would say homework really is one I'll always have a soft spot for, it still sounds pretty fresh.

ah yes... at a time when every singer had that sa,e numetal Eddie Vedder sound (eg, #1 hit of 2001: Lifehouse "Hanging On A Moment"), I always felt that Romanthony's vox were especially gentrifying and straight.
