![]() ![]() There are 3 kind of Daft Punk songs on the album: commercial 'singles' (Get Lucky, Lose Yourself to Dance, Give Life Back to Music & Fragments of Time), mellow 'slow' songs (Game of Love, Within, Beyond & Horizon) and general Daft Punk songs (the remaining 6 songs). I'm a HUGE Daft Punk fan and finally the new album is out, and it's amazing. Despite a few minor setbacks, Daft Punk have created one of the most enjoyable albums this year and continue to surprise us with new tricks up their sleeves. It's not all bad, but I really expected something with a little more "oomph". I was sadly mistaken when I heard the lack-lustre track. I figured that the rhythm behind Animal Collective would create a heavenly collaboration with two electronic gods. He is a member of one of my favourite bands, Animal Collective, and has made a splash in the electronic spectrum. ![]() This track features the genius vocalist/drummer Noah Lennox (or better known as Panda Bear). However, I am slightly disappointed with "Doin' It Right". I'm not saying that they are bad tracks, but they lack the emotion and funkiness that is set-up in the first half. They would be perfect if they were played in the background of a party, but not as frontline tracks. When you slowly transition into the second half, it seems as though the songs become more ambient. This lyrics, despite being distorted by a robotic voice, express a deep lamentation and exclamation of love. The track "The Game of Love" is a heart-wrenching masterpiece with a similar feel to "Something About Us" from Discovery. One song in particular caught my attention. The feel good tracks such as "Get Lucky" and "Lose Yourself To Dance" get their audience into a hypnotic state of being, mesmerized by the entrancing beats. They seem to show love and want to spread it with their music. So, maybe these cold, metallic robots do have hearts after all. They, unlike all pop music today, have emotion. They are trying to "Give Life Back To Music". Even from the beginning, Daft Punk make their message clear. Yes, they're both fruits, but they're nothing alike. It seems as if comparing Human After All with Random Access Memories is like comparing apples to oranges. I must say that Daft Punk may have lost some of their electronic side in the transition period, but those are minor details. The songs intertwine together, tied tightly together with a bow, and handed to you to open and enjoy. The tracks ooze through the speakers with such magnificence, you will have to brace yourself to endure the exhilarating experience. The rightful kings of EDM (Electronic-Dance Music) are back and in full swing with their new album. After 3 years of silence, the noise has finally returned. … ExpandĪfter 3 years of silence, the noise has finally returned. Definitely not an album that should be missed by anybody. ![]() Whilst definitely not the best track on the album, it's certainly one that grows on you, especially when it hits that magnificent 3:20 mark. From the reviews and opinions I've gathered so far, the album's biggest point of contention seems to be 'Touch' the collaboration with Paul Williams. By selectively choosing artists and musicians that they look up to and admire, Daft Punk have managed to easily intertwine their inimitable electronic class with the likes of Nile Rodgers' incredibly catchy guitars, Todd Edwards' smooth cut-ups and Panda Bear's confident indie feel. Despite having few collaborations prior to this record, Daft Punk clearly know how to get the best out of their new recruits. Despite Daft Punk's robotic visage, every song on the album feels incredibly heartfelt, from the love letter to the Synthesizer that is Giorgio by Moroder, to the laid back and hypnotic Fragments of Time. Despite having few collaborations prior to this record, Daft Punk clearly know how to get the best out of their new Random Access Memories is in the simplest of terms a triumph.
