Zak, were you expecting another discovery or something, if so that may be why.
All their albums have had a different sound so it's no surprise this is different to everything else. |

i havent been impressed by what ive heard yet.
hopefully all tracks on the album arent handbag disco |

No, I expected them to change it up and I do like the direction they chose. But it has been hyped to hell, so I think I was expecting a delivery that was in line with all of the pre-release promotion I have seen/heard.
It's not a bad record at all, very enjoyable and I dig it. But I'm not sure it matches the hype on first listen at least. |

i havent been impressed by what ive heard yet. I wonder if people who do this are already walking in ready to be cynical or they're being objective. What I've heard so far is i've been like "Hey this is a fun smooth track that is packed with interesting stuff" then some DJ announces "That was the latest from Daft punk" and i go "More like Daft Funk" and giggle to myself happily. Honestly though how you could be in any mood other than happy after it makes me worry about you. A little, like, i wonder if you're going to snap and try and go on mass killings. |

its very different..
some of the tracks completely miss it with me. |

If I become a millionaire im just going to get Nile Rogers play mad disco rifts for me all day.

cool people trying to intellectualise what is essentially a matter of taste. it sure is i myself describe it as 'a.....album'
seriously though it is funky, fun and head nodding with a couple of standout tracks, 'give life back to music' and 'doin it right' does it for me. i think of what they'll do with it for alive '17 and my god.... it will be epic. cracking album yo |
08:38pm 14/05/13 Permalink
so yer, ive listened to the whole album, i stand behind my original comments.
way too vocally, i dont want vocals in my music. and i just dont like the style of this music. probably picks of the album for me were mother and contact. at least in contact i could actually hear the daft punk sound i know and love, hidden away behind all the gay disco sounds. |
07:48am 15/05/13 Permalink
thang kodness not everyone believes the hype, i am not alone.

08:08am 15/05/13 Permalink
Yeah don't know, it isn't worth 1/4 of the hype that had grown
I find it boring, i was waiting for something that made me want to dance Contact was about the only one i liked |
09:07am 15/05/13 Permalink
I know why you like Contact Spook - it's the track with the guitar sample from Sherbert. You old rock dog.
|
09:14am 15/05/13 Permalink
haha is it?
i was wondering where that sample was hidden away! |
09:40am 15/05/13 Permalink
i really like that track but it would be better without the story.
|
11:08am 15/05/13 Permalink
meh. giorgio is a famous as f***, he could read little red riding hood and put a funky disco beat behind it and people would love it.
|
12:51pm 15/05/13 Permalink
yeah agree with pave/spook on this one. Very underwhelming tracks, need more doof doof
|
01:02pm 15/05/13 Permalink
I think you guys are smoking crak, this album is really underwhelming and average except for 'get lucky', absolutely love that song, I think Pharell and Nile saved it though from what it could otherwise have been.
Bit annoyed how they released their only good song 'Get Lucky' to generate the overwhelming next coming of christ hype.. |
01:25pm 15/05/13 Permalink
At the moment I really like the giorgio moroder track, touch, beyond, and contact. But all the others are great as well imo.
They said in an interview with pete tong that they will be doing remixes of their own songs. Lot's of potential in that. |
01:29pm 15/05/13 Permalink
Marty, I think yourself and everyone else had their expectations set WAY to high with this album and that's why you're 'meh this is boring'
From here and over at OCAU forums i'm one of the few(very) that is really digging this album. Every song has it's own little journey and feel to it which I love. |
01:36pm 15/05/13 Permalink
haha, once every like 5 years Damo goes from being a hard out metal head to a Daft Punk loving nancy boy :P
Edit* - and where the f*** is this album on my spotify, I broke up with itunes a long time ago. |
05:20pm 15/05/13 Permalink
Marty, I think yourself and everyone else had their expectations set WAY to high with this album and that's why you're 'meh this is boring' considering the amount of hype built up for it, the little tid bit of get lucky dropped which went f*****g viral videos like this: watching that video makes it look like it is going to be some f*****g ridiculously awesome album instead the album makes me want to go and have a snooze while listening to one of the songs on it that sounds like it is a guy sing in front of a 3 piece drum kit |
05:36pm 15/05/13 Permalink
I'm once the dubstep remixes come out you'll be all happy paveway.

07:47pm 15/05/13 Permalink
Something a little different, for the sooks hating on the Daft.

08:05pm 15/05/13 Permalink
Marty, I think yourself and everyone else had their expectations set WAY to high with this album and that's why you're 'meh this is boring' well in my case maybe not, I didn't buy into all the hype. Problem is 'Get Lucky' set the bar soo high that the other songs are soo 'meh' for me.. The other tracks honestly sound like "filler tracks" just to complete the album, anyway just how i feel. |
09:44pm 15/05/13 Permalink
a guy on reddit synched up the songs from the album with daft punk's electroma film. the original film doesn't contain any of daft punk's music.

I really enjoyed this album, loving it.
It's much more chilled/soft/funky then their previous hard dance stuff, but I love it. Great tunes. |
01:02am 17/05/13 Permalink
Edit* - and where the f*** is this album on my spotify, I broke up with itunes a long time ago. It's on there now. Just got around to having a full listen to the album and I'm not a fan at all. I love Contact, and Georgio by Moroder isn't bad (would be so much better without the old dude talking) but the rest of the album is boring nu-disco type stuff that just doesn't do it for me. |
08:21am 17/05/13 Permalink
I hadn't paid any attention to hype or even listened to the single, but just thought I'd listen to the album since its on Spotify now and quite enjoying it. Maybe cos I went in with no expectations, dunno, but its pretty funky.
|
10:03am 17/05/13 Permalink
human after all wasn't particularly well received either but then they blew everyone's balls off when they adapted the songs for the live show so there is still hope.
|
06:21pm 17/05/13 Permalink
Yeah I'm loving it and f***en love spotty such amazing service!!!!
|
08:24pm 17/05/13 Permalink
there's method in the madness there somewhere..
( not enjoying this late 70's / early 80's death-of-disco groove.. ) *edit* crap... this has me so off center right now I need some 70s/80s metal to get me back on track |
04:10pm 18/05/13 Permalink
It's not their best album by any means, but I quite enjoyed it.
|
04:16pm 18/05/13 Permalink
I like to pretend this was part of their album
|
05:13pm 18/05/13 Permalink
I like to think this was also part of their album.
|
05:32pm 18/05/13 Permalink
yer, with daft punks new album, you'd think they are the only act in the world with the electro voice
FAIL |
05:42pm 18/05/13 Permalink
I feel like if this album was put out by a band who wasn't Daft Punk, they'd get very little recognition for it, and i feel that Daft Punk are now trading on the name of who they once were. Is the album good? Yeah, largely. Is it great? Nope.
|
07:26am 19/05/13 Permalink
another song id like to pretend was from the new album but replace the vocals with theirs
|
08:20am 27/05/13 Permalink
the bonus track from the japanese RAM album

There were two guys in helmets and jumpsuits dancing to Daft Punk outside Apple Store at Chermside on Saturday.

FaceMan, if it was in front of JB, one of them was me
|
02:15pm 27/05/13 Permalink
oh yeah maybe it was JBs.
You guys get payed for that ? promotion ? or busking ? I see they have some busking thing going on now, local talent can perform. |
05:37pm 27/05/13 Permalink
Yeah we got paid.. They did it at various venues around the country for the album launch
|
05:44pm 27/05/13 Permalink
another song id like to pretend was from the new album but replace the vocals with theirs That is intense. Amazing talent right there and I would be amazed if he doesn't get picked up from it. |
06:05pm 27/05/13 Permalink
TiT that is unreal.

Is the album good? Yeah, largely. Is it great? Nope. I feel that's unfair. I think its a pretty god damn album. It might not have the legs it does if its not daft punk but that's just them using profile to draw attention to something a nobody couldn't. I've smashed this album over the last three weeks. 70's disco is fine with me. |
08:13pm 27/05/13 Permalink
Its very unlike their other albums, and I think they pulled a bit of a bait and switch with the marketing campaign, even though Daft Punk are quoted as saying they wanted to make a disco album that everyone hated.
Personally, I had much more fun with M83's go at a disco album. |
09:41am 28/05/13 Permalink
Hardly a bait and switch since you could stream the whole album on itunes for free before release.
|
10:05am 28/05/13 Permalink
You can get the album for free without buying in it. Anyway their new single 'Get Lucky' is really catchy and stuff and their music is great but what's the point in the helmets. I know they're trying to hide their identity cause they don't want fans jumping all over them but they look a bit daft and funny. It's like 2 guys in a helmet or whatever it is.What is the point of it? I mean it scares me a bit and you don't really know what's under there, it could be like aliens or something. They haven't showed their faces since the 1990's, I guess they're trying to look cool or something but to me it's strange and it's so unhuman...
