Daft Punk - Random Access Memories came out 7 years ago
- Thread starter Link the Hero
- Start date
Perhaps my most hyped album ever, and was initially taken aback on first listen. Why are they having Giorgio Morodor monologue at me for 2 minutes? What's with this ecclectic 8 minute musical-inspired piece? Why is this so different and 70s esque?
Wasn't what I expected, and Discovery is still their best album, though RAM is without doubt one of my favourite albums ever. The way this album gradually sucked me in, with virtually every song on the tracklist gradually worming into my ear, was nothing short of spectacular.

Amazing album. Still listen to it regularly. It just clicks with me so well.

This is probably the first time I've ever seen one of these types of threads where it feels like the thing should be WAY older than it actually is. Genuinely surprised this is only 7 years old.
Da Funk is my favourite song of all time, and has been since 1996 or 1997. Homework was once my favourite album of all time, and still sits in my top 3.
Get Lucky was a perfect song, I listened to it on repeat for months.
I hated RAM when it came out, just hated it, I was so sad and angry about it. I have since come around a little bit on it, there is good songs on it for sure, but it still is a huge let down to me.
Luckily I found OVERWERK. I really recommend looking into them if you are a fan of Daft Punk, and what they did with the Tron soundtrack as well. He's very much a mix of more classic Daft Punk, and their Tron album.

Masterpiece.
The hype leading up to it was insane. People were making full, quality songs out of the short Get Lucky samples that they released in teaser videos.

I'd agree with this - the two tracks with Pharrell Williams and the legendary Nile Rodgers are great, but the rest of the album is considerably more spotty for me. It just feels a little... thin, like a handful of experimental demos before the hook / melody has really been firmed up.
I'm not necessarily a huge Daft Punk fan to begin with though - I've much preferred the other projects that the two have worked on separately (Thomas Bangalter's solo work, and Le Knight Club especially). Alive 2007 is a phenomenal set however, and by far the highlight of their discography.
Still remember when my husband and why were making a trip do his parents house and it was a 6h car drive and it was already night.
We were in a road in the middle of the mountains when contact started to play and we were sure we would be abducted until the end of the song. It was an awesome experience!

This version eclipses the original and then some. I remember their being a pretty widely spread rumor back then that every song did have a DP remix of it, which may be the case. If you think about it, it's the only album of theirs that didn't have a ton of remixes released- maybe they held them back because of the DP remixes, and those just never got released.
RAM may not have been evocative of the music of the era it came out in, but it sure as shit helped in shaping it.
A masterpiece, and that opener is just, one of the best opening tracks of any album. I instantly smile the second it starts up. The name couldn't be more fitting.

It absolutely reignited mainstream interest in disco music. The entire snapshot of this top 10 back then tells the full story, honestly. It's the only disco song there.
