Random Access Memories-Daft Punk (2013)
So I’m not going to lie probably within the last 10 is years
or so my love for this band has grown about a quintuplet fold when compared to
the joyous memories I remember having when I was a kid and Toonami played that
Interstellar movie during some late night rotations and find Alive 2007 to be
probably the best piece of electronic music I’ve ever and probably ever will
enjoy so whenever they finally got around to releasing their first album in
almost 10 years the HYPE WAS FUCKING REAL!
And if you read the review you’ll know this is the only album so far to
score the elusive 10 out of 10 and while I’m not one to go back on my word I kind
of did whenever it came to that year’s best of list because if you were able to
read the wall of text that was this songs entry you’ll know that once I took
off the rose colored Glasses I kind of realize this didn’t really feel like a
true Daft Punk record and in all honesty it really isn’t even after a year of
getting to come to grips with that idea.
BUUUUUT even with that said I refuse to take back my score
and even if I’ve kind of found some fault in this album it’s a pretty
spectacular effort none-the-less and in all honesty this group really has done
something that pretty much no other group can really lay claim to and that’s
make a bad album because even if I feel a lack of that feeling of it being a
Daft Punk pure record it’s still an amazing piece of work that showcases the
continued trend they have of digressing the scene they started back into it’s
basics and they’ve managed to make a very surprisingly organic album that’s
like the start of it all it’s all the disco, soul, funk, and new wave sounds
that inspired the scene they started and it’s quality is comparable to the
stuff of their contemporaries and it’s also an album that really was important
to me.
Quality Cuts: Instant Crush, Get Lucky, Doin’ it Right
