I can see why they'd release Lose Yourself To Dance, but at the same time that would be disappointing as its EXACTLY the same vocalist which is more than a little bit lazy! Instant Crush would be a far better choice and I'm still sure it would be a hit.

I was assuming 'Lose Yourself to Dance' would be the next single at first, because it was the most immediately accessible album track on first listen, but I'm coming round to the idea that 'Instant Crush' would be a better choice. LYTD probably wouldn't convince anyone to buy the album who hadn't already been tempted by 'Get Lucky'.
It's frightfully repetitive though - not that that ever stopped people going mental for a Daft Punk single before.

I think Thom was taking the mick out of Anthony for banging on about his 180g (gram, I'd good quality) vinyl. Mine didn't come yet, but I saw the labels, nearly squeed seeing the classic red/yellow/black Columbia design.

Oh. Thanks Tom. Whoosh at me.

 

Quite loving RAM so far, though I really dislike the talking bit on Giorgio By Moroder even if the rest is funky.

At least he's not talking all through the track!

Erm, it's Giorgio fucking Moroder. Even if he was reading the phone book it'd still be the voice of a genius.
This album is amazing, it tails off for me personally towards the end but the first 8 or 9 tracks are varying shades of genius, with such wide appeal. My mum heard me listening to it earlier and asked to borrow it. It's going to be one of those 21-esque albums which isn't perfect but is excellent and will sell by the bucketload because it's well produced, incredibly melodic throughout with a 'classic' feel and has vast crossover appeal. Giorgio By Moroder is probably my favourite album track thus far, incredible.

I agree. My daughter, almost 18, was upstairs when I got home from Tesco and played it yesterday and asked to borrow it too. It does tail off a bit after Get Lucky but the first 7 or 8 tracks are brilliant. After two more plays this morning, still my favies are Get Lucky and Doin' It Right.

Madness - Motherboard and Contact after Get Lucky and are great - when you get into them.

Regardless of who he is I still don't like that bit of the song.

Me either.

I like it, especially when he gets to the 'click' bit. I still maintain it's misplaced on the album and should be near the end but it's definitely one of the strongest tracks for me.

The jury is still out for me on this. It's an incredibly ambitious album but I also find the whole thing overbaked, self-indulgent and sometimes irritating. I prefer Daft Punk at 3am and banging! There are some proper WOW! bits, but at worse I feel like I'm in an elevator in a 5 star elevator in New York, circa 1979.

 

Maybe after a few more listens the whole album will come together but the fact everyone has a strong reaction to this is surely a good thing!

Really clever video showing Get Lucky as it might have sounded if created in different decades, from the 1920s to the future!

 

Wow ^ thats amazing!! This guys has done all those himself?! Shame the ending is in french, but this is really impresive :o Needs more views

Why have people gone so mad about Daft Punk this time around. Get Lucky pales into insignificance besides any Nile Rogers produced track from the late 70s/80s. Just listen to the truly glorious Upside Down or the first four tracks from that Sister Sledge album. Still I suppose it gives old Nile another decent payday.

 

This record is as bad/backwards looking as any bunch of lumpen fools furiously trying to recreate guitar music that will sell reconstructed from the debris of The Beatles/Britpop/postpunk.

 

And as for the track Fragments in Time, that is just plain embarrassing.
