Garrett Williamson Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The funk in this record is freaking me out. If all music just went to this style I would be the happiest person on earth. Sounds 70s, honestly. Therefore, very freaking awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audio fidelity Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Just went off for me too. Go to defendor's page. Then go to tracks. They're still there. update: cancel that, it's down for now there. But it seems its all over the net now.

Patrick Burns Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 A bit early to say that, isn't it? Yeah. I want to say, "it's just not my thing" but this genre is actually something I like. I guess I'm just giving in to disappointment. Glad to see others like it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenPi Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 imo, I love the album. A few songs didn't strike me as hard the first time, but I am starting to like them the more I listen to them. Definitely the Daft Punk I was waiting for. Still doing their own thing, and not caving in to the pressures of "popular" music. Love it so much, I started a remix already :3 https://soundcloud.com/djsymbiotix/daft-punk-feat-panda-bear-doin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 This is definitely something that warrants multiple listens I think it'll grow on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adge Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Makes sense, since 'robotic' is one way I would describe Nick Cages' acting ability. Looks like there is mixed opinions over RAM so far, so I'm gunna have to dive in and see for myself whether it's my sorta thing or not. Have to say, I really did like Get Lucky, so if the rest of the album is anything to go by that track, I may be in for a treat rather than a trick. We'll see.

Modus Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Nick Cage's career is an anomaly of this universe, but I'd forgive everything if he were secretly a Daft Punk member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Williamson Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Daft Cage. I keep going back to "Get Lucky" and the first song (already forgot the name of it). They are just so funky. I love it. Does "Get Lucky" sorta remind anyone else of "Good Times" by Chic? Edited May 14, 2013 by Garrett Williamson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Does "Get Lucky" sorta remind anyone else of "Good Times" by Chic? That would make sense, since the guy from Chic is on it, lol. So yeah, there seems to be a group of people who think this album is Daft Punk's best work, and others who think it's so wildly inconsistent that it can barely be considered an album (kinda like DJ Shadow's The Outsider). I've heard the album in full maybe seven times now, and I still haven't quite processed the album in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of the album for me is "heck yes Daft Punk, freaking amazing" and then the other half is like "yeah, I mean, sorta lost interest here."

Brandon Strader Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I never knew why Daft Punk was popular and I went into this album expecting to not like it at all, and for it to be a bunch of basic loops with vocals on them, like Get Lucky was. But after listening to the album (my first introduction to Daft P) it's actually really good. I still don't understand why it's popular. But I think the fact that I enjoy it after going in wanting to hate it just demonstrates how strong of an album and how well made it is. If anyone disagrees with that, they jelly.

Gollgagh Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) This album is growing on me a lot. I absolutely love Instant Crush Edited May 22, 2013 by Gollgagh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustin Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Started off strong for me and then got wacky in the middle. Still not sure what to make of it yet. So far, nothing ground breaking but some damn good tracks on it. Some freakin' weird ones, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjjD Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I quite liked the first song. Got groovin' quite nicely, but I agree with Mustin it started to get a little odd around the middle. I can see how people would get turned off by this new album, it's certainly not meant to be modern, dance-y electronic music. Granted, it's always nice to remember the roots in which dance music today was founded on...so why not disco? Mustin, that signature has made me laugh for the better part of a year (or two?) now, I thought you should know this. Cuz it's awesome.

SenPi Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 so.. I've listened to the album all the way through like 6+ times now. I can say that every song has grown on me and I love it all. I decided to go back and listen to Discovery... and RAM has ruined it for me :3. Discovery sounds so... robotic and non organic to me now. I still enjoy it, but I feel like it doesn't have the groove that RAM has. There is also the fact that the mastering for RAM is so much nicer and warmer IMO.

I've heard the album in full maybe seven times now, and I still haven't quite processed the album in my head. It's funny that you mention The Outsider, because I like a lot of DJ Shadow's stuff, including The Outsider, but it's not the same type of "like." As for Daft Punk I've never really gotten into their stuff, but I appreciate it and can understand why people like it. Random Access Memories, on the hand, is heroin for my ears. I think I like it in the same way I like lots of ocremixes and Phoenix's most recent album, Bankrupt! That is to say it sounds familiar and even might remind me of another song I know, but that doesn't really diminish the enjoyment for me. Also, I think it sounds better as an album than as a collection of songs, if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brithor Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I was very underwhelmed after my first listen. I was expecting Discovery-levels of awesome and it didn't quite deliver. Some tracks are awesome some not that much, The Game of Love and Instant Crush, are the worst tracks IMHO. But I've since listened to the whole album quite a bit of times and I must say that it has completely grown on me. The Pharrell/Rodgers tracks are awesome and the Moroder one is specially cool, even though it seems I'm listening to Schwarzenegger for the intro. I think RAM can't be compared to any of Daft Punk's previous albums it's just something completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
