Prince Myshkin Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I wish they hadn't come back. I'll just remember them as they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodder Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 ^True I like 'Get Lucky,', but most of all is pretty disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Radio Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Get Lucky was great. I'm listening to the album right now and none of the songs so far are as good as it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Plastic Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 you guys were expecting too much I like Doin' It Right, Give Life Back To Music and Lose Yourself To Dance. Giorgio by Moroder is good until it gets all prog-y. I'm happy that they're making music that they've been trying to make for so long. I knew that I wasn't going to like most of it, my favourite Daft Punk songs are the real noisy house jams from the first album... OH WELL, this might be like Human After All where everyone hates it but then they go on tour in a few years and everyone is all "oh yeah those songs weren't so bad" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I wasn't expecting much at all, so I don't think that's the case. I don't see how people didn't get bored of get Lucky after the first three listens. I barely got through the first listen, such was the annoying and cheesey repetition. I like Pharell sometimes but him and Nile Rodgers haven't brought out the best in Daft Punk. The poppiness of the album makes me seriously doubt this will be a grower. It tends to be a case of catchiness (which isn't annoying) and getting it first time with these kind of endeavours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH WELL, this might be like Human After All where everyone hates it but then they go on tour in a few years and everyone is all "oh yeah those songs weren't so bad" I haven't heard the album but Human After All wasn't the unmasking that everyone expected into warm, heart-felt French disco, it was a literal apology that the band weren't superhuman. And to me, Get Lucky was the human side of Daft Punk that I'd waited for, for eight years. Nile and Pharrell added a bit of soul into it; even if all Pharrell can do is empty apodyopsis, it's got a bit more relatability to it than Technologic or Television Rules the Nation. The track harked back to Digital Love for me; it was as much "glamorous rock star" as it was "play this to get girls". I won't go on about the album - as I said, I've still not listened - but the expectation has been, as you say, considerably high. All I can say is that regardless of the hype/anti-hype, I played air-guitar to this band when I was 9. They've always been the coolest band on the planet for me, I don't care about anyone else who's decided that in the past three weeks. </rant> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMightBeWrong Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I listened to the album 3 times before they took it down on Youtube and I thought it was bloody great. Taking the album as a whole its really well put together, some lovely melodies, flows well and the artists cited as influencing the album really came through upon listening. Yes it's a departure from what I would normally associate with Daft Punk but in progressing they've produced a great album. Get Lucky manages to fit in with the whole feel of the album as well. No idea how they're gonna play any of it to a pumped up crowd though, I can only guess that they'll beef them up for their live set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destrokk Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I loved it! I don't know how to get into detail why I just do ok. Fav tracks: Doin' it Right, Touch, Lose Yourself to Dance, Get Lucky. Least fav track: whatever song julian casablanca was one wtf idk 8/10 hooray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Boring album, but I feel like part of the reason this album is such a disappointment is that Daft Punk's legend and mystery has evolved into something it isn't. Every rumor and every piece of hype was so drawn out for many years that people had delusions of grandeur about Daft Punk's music. Hoping it's a grower, since I now like "Get Lucky" better than I did at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Plastic Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 maybe because they just released their first real album since 2005 :thinking: with a huge PR campaign to boot :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamorlife Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Love the funky stuff on the record, but just wondering if, after all the hype, there is no one listening to it? Get Lucky is on Spotify nr. 3 most popular single in Germany, but Random Acces Memories is not even in the Top 100? (can't get it to show the international numbers, just shows an empty list). With Rolling Stone and Pitchfork and everybody else having their cover story dedicated to Daft Punk, I was a bit surprised. Maybe I'm just to much following twitter and global music sites and we Germans are slower :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
