Kayne West - New Slaves
This is tooo good not to unnecessaryily analyse. Too much thoughts to keep in. I'll spill them out tomorrow.
My 2 cents about the new Daft Punk: Random Access Memories
I like it. Not because it is just Daft Punk. Not because of the hype around it. Just because it's actually good.
For those who don't know, and that is pretty much all of you since I don't think I ever have said I liked them on here. I LOVE Daft Punk. If only I could really let you know how much, I really can't put it into words. Daft Punk are my all time favourite artists. Before you think, What? They are great but not that great, this person is.. STOP. People seem to think that because their opinion is THEIRS it should apply to everyone else. Everyone has personal taste, and the emotions and feelings that one person may get from a song may be perfect for them but not for you and guess what? That is okay.. just move on and listen to what makes you haps. An emo may like the angst they get from Evanessence but the RnB lover might love the smooth, velvety feeling they get from a Musiq Soulchild song, and there ain't nothing wrong with either of that. Anyways, Daft Punk are my all time favourite, their songs from Homework makes me extremely happy and give me vibe that is identical to my dreamworld and Discovery... let's not even get into that and my love for Interstella 5555 and how many times I have cried from the songs and the scene were the Voyager dies...
Their sound for me is almost like the Robot is listening to a disco song in the car after a complete shit day and midway starts dancing to it with a sunny outlook on life/shit will get better- hopefully feeling or like in a dysptorian world in 2075 robots put on a jukebox to a 1975 song ... I don't know if that makes sense but that's what I get from Daft Punk songs. I love Get Lucky esp. when the vocaloid bit comes in, normally the part where the song starts to belong to Daft Punk but the main thing that gets me with Daft Punk is their arrangement. Where they drop a beat, where this bit comes in and goes out, how this sound is paralleled to this, how the end sounds completely different to the start taking you on a journey. It's almost like I feel like Einstein working out a equation. For the best example of what I mean search the none other than "Harder, Bette,r Faster, Stronger". For me, Daft Punk hold a vibe, the whole Robots with Soul thing brand/PR what ever you want to call it has made me fall in the trap.
I don't know what I was expecting from this album to be honest. Daft Punk has always coming out with different sounding albums from the last. Compare ANY of their work with Human After All for example which pretty much decided to go the opposite and go choose the complete electronic route as opposed to the European weekend beach vibe Discovery gave us. When I heard that they wanted to put "soul" back to music and the bass line from Get Lucky, I knew that they were going 70s. One of the things the elements that make Daft Punk well.. Daft Punk is use of disco. And it seems from this album, that they took that single element and ran with it. It almost showed that indeed, the music they make is greatly influenced by disco and disco and soul is what they class as 'real' music (can't say I don't agree) and because of that the album for me was - brilliant. The melodies that DP use are always above sub-par but it missed the remix style, that Daft Punk electronic fiddling that I always get excited for when I hear a DP song, the complex arrangement that took my breathe away and look into space in awe. I felt for this album, they completely watered down those arrangements Maybe to make it more commercially viable? Who knows. Maybe they just wanted to make music to jam out to such as "Touch" Never the less, although the album was not what we Daft Punk fans are use to with the single heavy disco direction, I get what they were doing with this album and how this links in to the message about the current .."EDM" music state. I think contrary to belief, that they weren't trying to just make songs that were better than everyone else's and show why they are one of the kings of their genre but that disco is soulful and with much music being made more with money or just having a good time at a festival in their hearts very popular these days, it never to hurts to inject a bit of "solid feeling" back into the game.
But do you want to know what has really annoyed me? Some people reactions. I understand for some people they can't embrace change and are upset by this change but really if they were expecting Daft Punk's taste to stay in the electronic Human After All element, they need to evacuate from this life. So what, it's a bit different from usual. So what it might not be what you wanted. But to completely write it off and loudly proclaim that it's bad is annoying. Okay you don't like it just say that and move on to listening to some LCD Soundsystem or Hot Chip or something or move along with Daft Punk and appreciate what they are doing. DP won't bring out another Discovery why? because 1) They would have changed taste and that from 2001 and 2) I don't even think DP new the seriousness of what they were doing to even produce an album like that. That is a legit masterpiece. Why are people so against change? Maybe, because of the life I've lived that I find change in any aspect so... not something to cry about. Well, you know what they say, people don't like what they don't understand.
For example: this <-- the music elitism stench is strong on this page but hey what did I expect from Guardian readers.
Anyway my fave songs are Doing It Right and Lose Yourself to Dance. Touch is coming in a near second (even that Baz Luhrman ball room style in the middle is pretty awesome) and Get Lucky.
Even when I heard this;
I was like Yep, Daft Punk is back. It's not even the best they can do. Turns out it was fake LOL
I like this new album, it's Daft Punk but not THAT Daft Punk but hey, I can work with that. Hopefully the next album will be a return of THAT Daft Punk because to be quite honest- nothing beats that.
