/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

Protip: most people on here who hate it are just looking for reasons to do so.

Even the people who hate it still dig the production.
Listened to the vinyl on this old set of speakers I had and it was pretty insane.

>implying this isn't /mu/core

>mfw I listened to this for the first time and actually liked it

Fantano and p4k like it, plebs. Get your head out of your asses. It's a great album.

Its good for what its trying to be, but its really not great in any way whatsoever. Its certainly boring compared to music that exists as legitimate art.

God dammit can we please stop talking about this album

>thinks that Daft Punk is "out there" by any means

I can't wait for Yeezus to overshadow this and become the next /mu/core

>>36760369
get out

>>36760369
please explain what the fuck do you mean
what is it "trying to be"
why is it not "great in any way whatsoever"
why is it "boring"
and what do you intend by music that is "legitimate art"

>taste is objective

>>36760430

OP here... Your greentext is much appreciated but I was kinda hoping we could have an actual discussion.

What did you think about Touch and Motherboard?

it's a fantastically hit-and-miss album. some of its songs are the best daft punk have ever written, but there's also a lot of what i consider inexcusable filler- i'm talking about songs like the game of love and beyond and within and stuff like that. adult contemporary love ballads sung by ridiculous robot voices is something i can't really get behind.

aside from those (and instant crush, which would be a great song had they not crushed julian casablancas' voice with autotune), it's a pretty solid album. it's produced and mixed impeccably. there are just too many songs that do nothing for me to call it great or aoty or whatever. but that's just my opinion!

I've only listened to this 2 times or so, but my initial listen and subsequent really didn't change my view on the material. There are some real gems on here: Contact and Giorgio being ones I can name off the top of my head.

Other tracks felt very meandering, and although they have huge disco influences, the one thing I thought they failed at was creating an infectious beat/melody. A lot of electronic music builds off repetition, but I never felt as if the end result was anything rewarding. Not to the mention that the build up never felt interesting or organic-felt very dialed in and, and I hate to use this word, and boring.

6/10 or so for me. I don't have incredible hate for it, but it pretty mediocre compared to other electronic releases. Hell, the new Baths was pretty disappointing as well, but kept at least kept my interest throughout.

Its fun, and its mostly trying to be fun. The lyrics are designed for accessibility. What boundaries did it even come close to grazing in any way? What strong emotions does it even attempt to evoke? They made some catchy dance music, grow the fuck up.

>>36760401
You mean that fake anti-consumerist bullshit? Fucking Pass.

>>36760448
absolutely, there is objective criteria that tells you if it's good. you won't even have to listen to a cd to know if it's good. that's amazing, I ordered like 1000 vinyls the other week without knowing what music was on them, but in objective reviews they all got good rankings so i didn't have to do all the listening work for myself.

>>36760458
>autotune
Come on now.

I'm big on Beyond but Within is probably my least favorite on the album.

However, Game of Love is among my favorite. Reminds me of being in Miami in the 80s.

>>36760384

Yeah we shouldn't talk about an album that came out recently, can we go back talking about NMH ?

>>36760475
well you're right in the aspect of them trying to make fun music -- i think they're always trying to make fun music -- and they lost all the aspects of criticism from their early releases making daft punk not so punk.. although i found that they had some really interesting musicality here. the take backs to what 80s would've understood by futuristic (specially in Contact) are interesting to hear again in a more evolved production and while I agree with you that some of this can come out as simply boring for being so simple and addressed to a wider audience i think that they had some really interesting depth to add to the genre in terms of musicality.

>>36760550
even if that was a vocoder- i only said autotune because that's what it sounded like to me- it still meant taking julian casablancas' really distinctive voice and crushing it for some reason. i didn't see much use for it.

but different strokes for different folks! that's what makes the world go round.

this album is bad and anyone who likes it should feel bad

People have problems with this album because it is vastly different than anything else that Daft Punk has ever put out. It's no longer primarily samples over electronic instruments, now it's beautifully produced dance music played by real musicians. It's no longer house or a derivative thereof, it's absolutely straight up disco.

But I think it's also, in some sense, a concept album. It's called Random Access Memories, and it's an artefact from a distant time. Disco has been dead (in the US at least) for decades now, but Daft Punk is putting out a record that is unironic and unappologetic about it. In the first few days, people shitted on Touch, but that song is really the thesis of the album. It's about people becoming too absorbed in digital life to remember the touch of other people. The entire album reflects this, with the aforementioned use of real musicians instead of loops and samples.

But any way you slice it, it's the best disco record of the decade.

One thing you will not be able to unhear:
listen to Touch.
When the "love is the answer you're home" bit kicks in with the vocoded vocals.
"Answe- you're home..."
"If love is the answe- you're home"
For some reason the last bit of the word Answer sounds like its been chopped off and its really fucking jarring.

Someone tell me its not just in my head

>>36760464
Hey you can hear Julian's unvocoded vocals underneath if you listen hard enough. There are 2 layers of his voice

Daily reminder this is the most important album of the decade.

“Usually, we never mix ourselves” Bangalter said, “that’s something we feel we’re interested in doing this time.” Bangalter went on to state that the “Get Lucky” remix would be released at the end of June, but as of yet there is no word on when we will be getting further remixes from the group.

The Discovery 2.0 everyone wanted is going to happen. Random Access Memories is similar to music
Daft Punk has sampled in the past. This album was made to be sampled. Random Access Memories
was only the prelude. Stop being stupid.

She wears short skirts, I wanted to do a album with the sound of the ’50s, the sound of the ’60s, of the ’70s and then have a sound of the future. And I said, “Wait a second…I know the synthesizer – why don’t I use the synthesizer which is the sound of the future?” And I didn’t have any idea what to do, but I knew I needed a click so we put a click on the 24 track which then was synched to the Moog Modular. I knew that it could be a sound of the future but I didn’t realise how much impact it would be.

She’s cheer captain and I’m Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio.

Somebody told me to check out Lindstrom as a "better" version of modern disco.

This shit is just boring and repetitive bleeps and bloops. RAM is way more interesting.

Well that sucks.

Whatever, i'll just stick with RAM.

I love it.
