James Murphy is a 24-carrot douche in fairness, though.

Buy a Chic album

He can't help it, he's an aging hipster.

You have a sexy ass washing machine and I want it.

I was so so about it after the first listen but it really grew on me.

LOL :rofl:
On a more serious note, “Random Access Memories” reminds me more of cocktail party music than EDM.
This in a way kind of makes sense since the robots are at this stage of their lives wealthy, sophisticated middle aged men and RAM surely reflects that.
I can see how this album would be appreciated by some of their longtime fans…I mean all people who used to party ‘till the break of down listening to Homework back in ’97 (16 years ago!) are probably living very different lives now.
To those people probably a mellow album like RAM could better represent their current lifestyle and mindset.
However if you’re looking for a vigorous and innovative dance /electronica album, you will be disappointed.

I am astounded by this new album. I totally lost my mind when I found out that Daft Punk were signed to Columbia AND they got to collaborate with Giorgio Moroder. Giorgio goddamn Moroder. I love vintage disco. I love the kind of funky stuff you'd see on Soul Train. It's been a long time since the business has seen or heard this type of thing, and Daft Punk have successfully resuscitated Euro disco. It's electronic, but it's ... organic. It's not 100% computerized nothingness.

I was really skeptical at first because I couldn't understand why Daft Punk would be releasing a new album; I thought "what could they possibly do that they haven't done before?" but I'm very pleased with this album. I think it'll be part of our record collection someday soon.

I'm buying this next week. It's a must have even if it doesn't trump their other work. I'm getting the feeling there's mixed reviews about it.

On metacritic, just two. Out of 17

That's not good, surely its not as bad as homework?

I guess I just don't really understand a lot of the bad reviews. Maybe i'm just being a little defensive, but I definitely find this to be worthy of the hype that it received.
