I'm halfway through and I'd say yes. I feel like the songs featuring "singers" really don't hold up against the others, but I really like it so far.

The first 3-4 songs are pretty awesome.

After my first listen of it, I have mixed feelings about it. Honestly though, you should really pass on it seeing as you view Daft Punk as just a novelty act with just catchy tunes.

Lose Yourself to Dance, Instant Crush, Doin' Right, the last three mins of Touch, and Contact round out my favorite tracks so far that will most likely get repeated like crazy over the next few days for me.

As it's been stated already the album overall has a downtempo vibe to it. I'm sure I'll appreciate some of the other chill tracks with repeated listenings.

The hype bar's been set way too high for something that's likely to not have very much substance. They're okay to listen to once or twice, but nobody can surely sit there and think this album's going to be anything out of the ordinary. That songs like Around the World and One More Time merit vast critical acclaim. They're fun and catchy, but that's about it.

The new album exceeds all the hype. It sets a new bar to surpass with them. Quite amazing.

I'm not really a fan. I feel like a lot of their stuff had Funk influence, but this album is just too funky man. Too funky. I'm not sure why I don't like Funk, but I think it's the same reason I don't like Delta Blues and that twang in Country.

I really liked their "alive" live album . Probably even more than discovery. Whoa lol.

Listening to it right now on spotify, really enjoying it so far.

Finally gave RAM a full spin.

Verdict: Most epic, consistent, and downright pleasurable record Daft Punk have ever made. So far
