IDK, I liked it and it fit the song. Not sure if you guys were expecting Interstella 5555 or something for this album.

I wasn't expecting that, but a bit more flash in the actual direction and editing wouldn't have hurt. Everything's shiny and there's a lot of people but there's no energy or inventiveness to any of it. It's shot like a nature documentary of people having fun.

A sterile representation of humans dancing in a disco kind of makes sense with the whole 'robots emulating 70's music' shtick, no?

Eh, I'm finding using this excuse as justification for everything they've done with this album to have stretched thin past the point of plausibility. At some point sterile and flat, no matter what the intent, is just sterile and flat.

Sure, if that was actually the angle they were going for here, but somehow I doubt it was. It's not a blatant "robots approximating humans" kind of sterility, it's just dull in its direction and editing. It's the kind of sterility that happens when the director of photography is phoning it in. sethsez fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Sep 17, 2013 |

I like the album and what they were trying to accomplish with the music itself, but I feel that a lot of missteps have been made in terms of PR and marketing. How much of that is Thomas & Guy and how much is Sony, I don't know.

I love the album to death but I hate the promo materials simply because they're lazy and uninspired. Just because you don't like RAM doesn't mean every complaint that anyone has to do with DP is an indicator of that.

It also kind of annoys me that Guy is playing bass in the video, when it's not actually him playing bass in the song, but that's nitpicking I guess. I guess the long wait and previous albums and videos has made me put them on a pedestal and expect flawless integrity in every way, which is silly.

That came out a long time ago (I think?) on one of the imports for the single. If I remember correctly, it's entirely forgettable.

Doctor Claw posted:Daft Punk pretty famously only tours once every ten years. They didn't tour for Discovery and did not tour for Human After All until two years after it's release. They don't want to and they don't need to. You saw Alive 2007 in person? drat. It's definitely one of my favorite albums of all time, I would pay anything to have been there. mogran posted:I still think the RAM remix album (THE THING BY DAFT PUNK THAT IS THEM REMIXING THESE SONGS LIKE ALIVE) will be better than the original album.

What was the point of that remix? That reminds me of the Moby remix of Son of Flynn from Daft Punk's TRON Legacy OST in which Moby barely did anything to song at all

I'd spend twice as much next time.

Late but I just skimmed through the Lose Yourself to Dance video for the first time. Isn't that pretty much the Get Lucky video but with people dancing around with it? If Doin' It Right is the next single, will it be Panda Bear just photoshopped over Pharrel's body? And that guitarist still there too?

I hope they do nothing, and perpetuate the view and eventual wikipedia edit that Pharrell Williams is the lead singer of daft punk. e: or get Pharrell to redo the vocals for doing it right for a special single.

A few things they've done recently HAVE been gross, but I don't see why this falls under that category. It's a neat thing for hardcore fans if they want it. Nobody's forcing you to buy it.

Because it's clearly a cash grab and grossly overpriced? Maybe they are trying to get their retirement funds built up or something, but that deluxe edition is grossly overpriced.

It's got pieces of their original film print poo poo and a thousand other things. $275 is a lot of money but I don't think it's overpriced for everything you get. It's a collector's item. These are the same guys that sold gold and silver Coke bottles for a mint years ago too. Nothing new here.

I'm not buying it because I already own both the CD and the vinyl, plus some of those bonuses seem completely unnecessary, and not even in the "holy poo poo I have to have them anyway" kind of way.

I just don't understand the point of a "deluxe" edition that is basically just the album plus a bunch of nonsense posters and usb drives, it's not really about the music or even the album at this point. A remix album, a few b-sides, or unreleased stuff etc.. is more what i consider deluxe but whatevs.
