Daft Punk's last album = Random Access Memories

The tracks on the album were logs of both members' musical inspirations tying in with the RAM theme. This is commonly recognised but what we missed is...

The name Random Access Memories itself was a reference to a Queen song from their album The Works. The song describes how a "machine" is easily reduced down so that its purpose becomes solely its function. It also touches on the perspective of the machine and how it laments the limitations it's put under and, curiously, decides to go back to being human so its soul can grow. The song;

Machines (Or Back to Humans)

When you're listening to Daft Punk, just remember that they're not like other bands. Their music is incredibly artistic, almost to the point where you have to be paying complete attention to them to even remotely understand them. I remember listening to a song on Random Access Memories (though I can't remember what it was), where I thought a song was absolute bollocks during the listen. Then, I closed my eyes for a second, and all of a sudden the song had an entirely new meaning. It was insane the way Daft Punk could just become something so different when you take a look into the music.

Another thing you should note about Daft Punk is that it's easy to get a headache listening to them. Not because they're a bad band, but because of how many ideas their music is riddled with and how complex they are. Soon enough your head will fill to the brim and the rest will just sound like noise to you. Just turn it off and give it a listen the next day.

If you don't like the music, you'll definitely at least enjoy reading through the lyrics, and picking apart the song itself and all of the artistic values that go into making it the complexity that it is.
