I know you don't really break eggs this often I saw your cart was speedin' and it wasn't stoppin' Here take my coupon sheet and just go ahead and wipe off all the yolk Yolk YOOOOOOOLK! Edit: I didn't love Fragments of Time at first but it's stuck in my head now. The only thing I don't like about this album is that chances are very low that any of these styles will ever be followed up on. It's like a greatest hits of alt versions of Daft Punk. I want the Fragments of Time electro slide guitar album, I want the Panda Bear beatz album, I desperately want the rest of the sessions with Nile and Pharrell, I want the TRON-esque album where the movie doesn't exist, I want the Paul Williams cybersongwriter musical.....fuuuuck I WANT MOOOOOOOOOORE.

I tried listening to the stream again today and I honestly can't make it through any of the tracks in their entirety. Kept skipping ahead to find something more interesting. It's not that the album is bad... but adjectives like mediocre, lame, and lacking substance definitely come to mind. I like the point a lot of people have said about a group like DP deserving extra scrutiny when they have such a long lag between releases and meanwhile are putting out promotional material where collaborators further propagate the inherent hype and then those are the best adjectives I can think of to describe the end result I think for me it will work best as background music, which is definitely a need that I have in my day-to-day listening but never something I would expect myself to think about DP.

I always wondered why there was never any more and was very pleasantly surprised to see it pop up on the Alive 2007 album.

I'm a casual listener when it comes to this type of music, but I dug the album a lot, and it's one of the first I listened to all the way through in a long time. There is definitely a drop off after track 1 though, it recovers later, but yeah. As someone who may find themselves intrigued by disco (aware this album is debatable and may not be disco whatsoever, but the term is flying around), what are some bands from that era I should check out?

What is with this trend of awesome electronic or rap groups becoming famous and deciding they need to have lots of guest appearances on their album and mix in completely unrelated genres? It always ends up sounding like crap and coming across as delighting in their celebrity status and having such a huge ego that they think just because they were really great at one genre it means they can do anything well. Off the top of my head, some groups that did this and released albums way worse than their earlier work: Gorillaz, Cypress Hill, Prefuse 73, Outkast

Albeit a departure from other Outkast albums, The Love Below/Speakerboxxx is a really high quality and critically acclaimed album so that comparison probably won't hold up. It did outrage some fanboys when it came out though I'll give you that. edit: \/\/\/ I dunno, when Big Boi drops "I Like The Way You Move" at a concert people flip the gently caress out and "Hey Ya" is oft-considered to be one of the most infectious pop songs of all time. But this is getting heavily off-topic. You're right, those classic Kast albums will probably have more staying power with Kast fans just because they are the style that made them fans in the first place. thathonkey fucked around with this message at 02:37 on May 16, 2013 |

It is already apparent that ATLiens, Aquemini and Stankonia all have more long term appeal than Speakerboxxx / Love Below. I know everyone loved it when it first came out, but people still get excited for Bombs Over Baghdad while Speakerboxxx / Love Below is rarely heard these days because it got old fast.

I disagree, I think if you dropped Hey Ya at a party right now people would think it was stale and played out. If its so influential in popular culture then what are some other songs / albums / genres / groups that couldn't exist without the musical ideas developed in Speakerboxxx / Love Below? This new Daft Punk is the same way, it does nothing to advance the genre of electronic music, and it is worse than the Outkast album because its not even fun to dance to. Are we so unoriginal that we have to remake the music of the 70s without any contemporary contribution? This album sounds like Fleetwood Mack with T-Pain singing on every song. I'm all for revisiting old styles, but at least make it new.

After listening through it a couple of times, I think this record is more hilarious than anything else. It's really, really cheesy. This is the kind of music that whole Vaporwave "scene" was poking fun at. But why do I still want to listen to it!?

Is the One More Time Daft Punk tribute worth seeing for $16? They are playing near me in August, and I can't really tell from YouTube if they do their own remixes of DP material, or if they just press play on Alive 2007 and wear the costumes for 90 minutes.

Sharks Eat Bear posted:I am curious to hear what music is being played in these Southern Californian warehouses that is better than Hey Ya. I think its a good song, but its ten years old and its not like its the pinnacle of modern music. With all the great new stuff out there I think it wouldn't be as interesting to play something that has already been played so much. Im still not tired of a lot of the earlier Outkast stuff because they weren't trying to mimic a retro sound, they were creating their own sound and making innovative music that push their genre forward. The point I am trying to make is not that Speakerboxxx / Love Below and Random Access Memories sound bad. They sound good. The point is they aren't as innovative or original as the earlier albums by the same groups, and for this reason I am disappointed. I think Random Access Memories will have a much shorter shelf life than Homework and Discovery, does anyone think it will be the other way around?

KingAsmo posted:Sorry Dad, I go to large warehouse parties in Los Angeles pretty much every weekend, and they aren't playing Hey Ya. I think that's your problem. You live in LA. Think the album is good and will grow on me for sure. One thing I always find funny is when people bitch about "pushing boundaries" like the artist expected to or thought "Yes, this music I am making will be considered advancing music as a whole!" Music to me isn't about "pushing boundaries". It can obviously happen naturally, to think it's calculated is dumb. With all the electronic music of the past 20 years it gets harder and harder to sound different. A lot of stuff that does sound different sounds pretty lovely too, WHY? Because they are making music a distance away from what was already good in the first place. I like Fleetwood Mac, I like classic music of all types, I like modern music. So to me good music is the sound of the notes being pleasant to my ears, I don't have to over think about how PROGRESSIVE or SIMILAR it is or isn't. If the tune sounds good, shut the gently caress up and enjoy it. It's fine if you don't like the album too, but come off it with the pushing boundaries poo poo and just admit you are pissed they didn't make Discovery 2.0.

T Fowl posted:I think that's your problem. You live in LA. This is it exactly. I would be fine with a Discrovery 2.0 because all the previous DP stuff sounded really fresh and exciting and this is why everyone was attracted to them. They were really good at making their own unique sound, and another album with a similar sound but new songs would be great. Instead it seems they were focused on sounding like other people and I think it's really hard to do Fleetwood Mac better than Fleetwood Mac or Brian Eno better than Brian Eno. I like Fleetwood Mac, but I dont need a fleetwood mac cover band with a vocoder. Chromeo already did that good enough.
