I already ordered my 180 g vinyl. So stoked for May 21st. Disco/Funk is back again.

Can we please stop using 'EDM' and 'Daft Punk' in the same sentence because:

A) It's sacrilegious and
B) I feel nauseous when I see the term 'EDM'....

there's no way this album can live up to its astronomical expectations. i'm expecting a moderately good cd in which case it will turn out to be a classic when i listen to it

me too. an amazing introduction. but just that, an introduction. i still listen to some of their stuff from time to time but their music was never "legendary" for me. i can't help but believe if daft punk is the gold standard then maybe dance music as a whole is too repetitive and loopy. that's not a knock on them but it's just disappointing that no one else can make edm as melodic and "musical" as they and justice have.

that said interstella 5555 is one of the coolest things any band has ever done with an album.

Nobody talk about TRON Legacy OST but it was an awesome album too for his genre.

Homework was amazing, da funk, rollin & scratchin, alive, around the world... just french house, epic!!!
Discovery was even cooler, One More Time is BEST EDM SONG EVER, bitches, also aerodynamic, digital love and harder better faster stronger are INCREDIBLE!!
Human After All was pretty shit, but it sounded well live, I mean, I love PTOYL vs Brainwasher vs. Rollin & Scratchin, and also Technologic vs. Robot Rock, but the other songs were lame in Human After All.

some medium size mom and pop framing shop in Atlanta, they put it into some kind of vacuum chamber then seal it with plastic on the back. Its way cool!

On a related note, The Guardian piece ref the new album... prat using the awful 'EDM' term along side 'Daft Punk'.. what a c0ck!

Nope. I own a vinyl cutter and heat press.
Turned the logo into a vector file. Turned out pretty awesome just using white.

I'm kind of puzzled as to why the cover isn't the usual stylised logo though. It'll look out of place next to the others on my wall.

EDIT: Has anyone else noticed the new song sounds like the breakdown in Harder Better Faster Stronger? I'm already mixing it and it's not even out.

Hate the game not the player.
I hate my conscience when it comes to things like this coz I cannot download stuff illegally... I wouldn't want someone to come and make me work for free....

I agree with the sentiment about hating the game... the record companies certainly have us by the short and curlies!

Same here, and I will also not be opening the vinyl copy that I get my mitts on. If the code for the digital download is in the vinyl, then it will still be in there in a few years!

That's why I bought 2 of them. I was too torn between actually getting a good listen and being the good fan boy as well.

Preordered like a preordered thing. I'll never open the vinyl, it'll go on the wall, framed, like a good fan boy. I will however illegally download it when it comes out.

... I'm lying, I work in a record store so I'll just buy it with discount haha
