I was rocking out to Lose Yourself to Dance at the bus stop and got some weird looks. They don't know what they're missing.

I am loving today because, as expected, all of the people first to scream OMG ALBUM OF A GENERATION and posting every loving fake leak all day every day are going to be the first to crap on the album. It's just an album. No collection of music tracks will ever live up to the level of worship you gave it.

I was expecting the album to be lackluster based on the Pharrell track that came out earlier and after 1 listen it certainly lives up to that mark... Giorgio is the only song I really liked or felt was interesting at all. Honestly a lot of the songs really melt together because of the repetitive and uninspired funk guitar loops. I'll reserve further judgements for after I get a chance to digest it (but it doesn't seem like there is much to it). edit: I think the most positive thing I can say about it is, like most mid-tempo music, it would make good background music for cleaning/studying/programming/other tasks along those lines... thathonkey fucked around with this message at 23:57 on May 13, 2013 |

Yeah, I was nervous when they announced their collaborators' list, and as much as I wanted to keep up hope that it would be good, this is a pretty dull album. Guess it's time to listen to Alive 1997 again.

Popcorn posted:e: there's a lot of Glados autotune on this album. Not Daft Punk robot voices, but Glados robot voices. I didn't get to listen to any of the last 4-5 tracks yet, but a couple of them (I think The Game of Love was the first that stood out) are completely ruined by this very thing.

I love when people get personally offended that other people don't share their particular tastes. I'll make it easy on you. You'll either really love it. You'll like it. You kinda won't like it. Or you'll hate it. What someone else thinks of it is completely inconsequential here. Trying to defend your particular viewpoint by shoehorning those that oppose your views into a particular mindset or group is kind of stupid.

Caseman posted:Also how anyone can listen to Giorgio by Moroder and hate on the drummer is beyond me. The first half of that track is unlistenable. The second half is Kraftwerk with an old man rambling over Travis Barker on the drums. This album is pretty chill and I like it. Definitely some awesome tracks that average out the garbage. Really love Contact. Slate Action posted:How does everyone think the general public will react to this? Will it sell well? Of course it will sell. Every radio station in the states seems to have Get Lucky in the rotation. The funniest part is everyone buying this album because of Get Lucky will be disappointed and never listen to Daft Punk again.

I think possibly everyone should stop attempting to categorise everyone else's perspectives based on mysterious speculations about whether or not they were expecting the album to be good or not good or have only liked Daft Punk since Alive 2007 came out or if they have Earth Wind and Fire's Greatest Hits in their car.Colonel Whitey posted:It's this plus people trying to argue from a place of objectivity. It's never "I liked/disliked it because..." and it's always "this is great/terrible because..." And sometimes even the 'because' is left out entirely. Why do people get so upset when opinions are expressed without the "remember! this is my opinion!" disclaimer attached beforehand in bold? No one is pretending to be "objective" about anything. Yes, if I say an album sucks, I'm speaking only for myself: whose other opinion could I possibly be talking about? On my wedding day, when I tell everyone at wedding that my fiancee is the most beautiful girl in the world, are you going to jump up from behind a pew and scream "maybe in your opinion!!"?

Listening to this, a lot of it reminds me of the slower Does This Offend You, Yeah? tracks. Especially Instant Crush.

I got a chance to listen to this, I haven't really been following any of the hype other than "there's a new DP album coming sometime soon" and I've got to say I doubt I'll buy it or even take advantage of the free stream again. I like Daft Punk, I like the disco-inspired french house that we've seen in the past. To me this feels like Disco with a vocoder. If I'd found this in a record store I'd expect it to be on dusty underused vinyl with a 99¢ sticker on it. Seriously, I can respect an artist for broadening out, but that doesn't mean they're successful (though maybe they are for people who like disco?).

I think this will probably sell really really well. I'm not sure how successful Daft Punk will be after it though. I think a lot of people will buy it because it's Daft Punk then not listen to it because it's disco. Also this will probably go over a lot better in European markets.

A lot of what I read leading up to the album described it as not sounding like Daft Punk's other albums. I think sounding different than Daft Punk's other albums will turn off some people. (I'm not saying this is the only reason that some people dislike it.)

Practically everyone I know is really excited for the album. My twitter feed was blowing up with people talking about the leak. I think it'll sell well. Hell it's even trending on twitter.
