| Topic | Best of the Band (Week 1): Daft Punk |
| Seanchan 02/28/21 11:57:34 AM #35: | Just re-listened to Random Access Memories... Oh God...OH GOD! How...how could I have been so wrong? This is a GREAT album, front to back! It's crazy to think about the evolution of Daft Punk from Homework to this album. I called Homework "experimental" in the sense of being raw and unpolished; I could almost say the same thing here for Random Access Memories just from the opposite end of the spectrum - a refinement of disparate influences. There's the obvious and overt disco references but it's so much more eclectic than that, with some very theatrical and orchestral turns. I can see why I wouldn't have liked this very much when it came out. I was (and still am) into much more upbeat, "dance-y" EDM/techno, and there's a lot of songs here that are slower tempo and take time to get into, Touch being an easy example. There's also a lot of "robot voice" (for lack of a better term) that rankles a little. I should get to listening to the last 3 albums today and get up a song ranking of some sort. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! ...
