More critics are going to rate it the day it comes out, and It's already starting to look like it's pretty much going to be critically acclaimed.

I'm wondering if its going to be acclaimed because they are so highly looked upon for their older work? I have noticed an insane amount of hype, people have made Get Lucky the most streamed song on Spotify.

But no matter what everyone says I'm going to approach the album subjectively and make a realistic submission on what I think.

Possibly, cause Human After All sounded nothing like their previous albums and it got shit on by the majority of people. RAM seems to be leaning to their older material, so people love it. It's a shame they can't really experiment too much without people hating it.

But I must admit, they do have an amazing trademark sound they're really known for.

Giogio by Moroder, Holy shit. THE most epic track Daft Punk has ever released.

I like to imagine that in the song "Touch", that Daft Punk was just working on their music in the basement. They had the basic song set up, but didn't know how they wanted to do the lyrics. As they are thinking, one of their dads opens the door from upstairs and shouts down: "Hey guys, I just pulled the steaks off the grill. Dinner is gonna be ready in 10 minutes, ok?".

As soon as he says this they both look at each other and yell up at him to come down. They ask him to sing the lyrics to the song and he immediately agrees. He stands in front of the mic, and picks up a piece of paper with the lyrics on it. They start the track and he starts going and does it in one take. As the song ends, he pulls the headphones off and asks: "Was that good?" and they both nod in amazement. He nods in approval and walks back upstairs.

It is really hilarious to me, and I don't know why. His voice is just so awesome like that. My girlfriend told me this scenario when we were listening a couple days ago and I havent been able to forget it.

They certainly do and that is what people love. I am so annoyed that I have to wait till Wednesday to listen to it!

They will probably struggle to move away from their roots without people getting upset though.

It's a modern pop album that hasn't been brickwalled to the other side of the world, which instantly gives it good ratings from me. I liked it quite a lot, with Giorgio being worth the wait alone. Doin' It Right was pretty standout as well, even if it was basically just an Animal Collective song.

What an album. Also I had quite a big surprise seeing Julian and Panda Bear were on the album. I am definitely not big on their old catchy electro stuff, just not my thing, but this is completely up my alley.
