A series of Facebook reactions to the new Daft Punk Album

I wouldn't in anyway go so far as to call this a review. It's re-ordered so you don't have to read it backwards.

Ok, back to this Daft Punk Album - which is annoying the b@lls off me. In places it's generic, lazy and self-indulgent and then just as you go to stop it: HOLY SH1TB@LLS that was fantastic! Rinse and repeat. Grrrrr....

Dear Daft Punk,

My notes so far:

1. I don't like anything with a vocoder - it's wank - stop using it.
2. Those horrible guitars made me hate you last time - know it can make me hate you again.
3. Adding a voice-over track from a famous synth god is great - IF I WANTED TO LISTEN TO A F&CKING DOCUMENTARY!
4. Yes your key changes and arpeggios are well placed but if I didn't know it was Daft Punk I'd just assume that it was some knock off bargain bin Walmart chill-out complication.
5. Putting big orchestral strings in a track is a cheap trick - it's like putting boobs in a movie: that bit might be great but doesn't mean the rest of it is any good.

The Pharrell track was pretty good.

Oh you French electronic molesters - Paul Williams? Really? Paul bloody Williams? WTF were you believeing? D- back of the class. PANTS. Muppets.

Don't try and win me back with the strings at the back end (so to speak).

Pharrell: Mate, how much did they force you to dial back your talent? For God's sake - don't let Bangalter ever get hold of the Despicable Me sound track...

I believe this album would be worth an extra $1.50 on top of the current retail price if they'd just remove the annoying throwback synth noodlings and other fill -ins from albums past. Oh, and in case I haven't mentioned it, ENOUGH WITH THE VOCODER!

According to the track-listing I'm at Motherboard: This track needs re-examining on some proper headphones later.

Motherboard: hands-down the best track on the album so far.

followed by some Wham - Club Tropicana BS.
- I shouldn't say BS - Club Tropicana was a fine record.

Read those too. Perfection is in the ear of the listener - that's what makes music so great.

I am not qualified to call any music shit (sic), but I am more than qualified to voice my opinion on what I do, or don't like.

15.05.2013		get lucky is a good tune, the rest is just so dull. gutted really, i wanted to like the whole album.
i was feeling giorgio by morodor, until a friend pointed out its shamelessly recycled even for daft punk.

14.05.2013		There's one amazing track on it - it just needs to be stitched together from 3 or 4 of the other tracks.

Not my cup of tea tbh
only one good track on the album
I concur, except I still haven't heard the one good track.

14.05.2013		Okay, started listening to it... my first reaction is: What the fuck is this shit?

EDIT: Have to skip past the first track after 40 seconds, it's too painful to listen to.

EDIT2: Game of Love is interesting, but it's sure as fuck not Dance, Pop, or anything even remotely similar to it. It's basically a 70s ballad. Not my cup of tea tbh, and they've completely screwed up the EQing on the vocals; they seem almost entirely confined to the mids, which is just... wrong.

EDIT3: Well, that settles it... only one good track on the album; makes it kinda obvious why they used Get Lucky for the pre-launch hype. I can see Fragments of Time charting as well, but that's about it.

Personally, I'm still pissed off they got the credit for the Tron soundtrack, since it was Joseph Trapanese who actually wrote it. If you haven't heard his Daft Punk-untainted work, listen to this:
