Instant Crush is the best song on the album

imo their best work, has only gotten better with time.

last good song panda bear was involved in

Still listening

Still loving

weakest song was definitely lose yourself to dance, really broke the flow of perfect songs. just something i never liked about the overuse of the glittery sounds and poor use of vocoder. take it out and it's a 10/10

this album is pure funkiness, man
disco, funk, some old-school techno
it's just a bundle of fun from start to finish.

also forgot to mention that lucky is just too long. 6 minutes, what were they thinking. shortening it to 4 really would improve the album

Always thought this album was such a great & labored response to brostep and other EDM paperweights. "Touch", in particular, is a goddamn great song. I need to listen to this whole thing again.

the only good thing about this whole record is the vocoder part in get lucky

AOTY 2013
I listened to this album a lot on a trip to San Fran...couldnt be more appropriate. Theres that interview with Todd Edwards where he talks about making this album and being in California. I feel like I know and have felt exactly whats he talking about.

this, touch is GOAT

Giorgio by Moroder is best by far, contact is pretty good too

A lot of pop and rap music in the past 3 years has taken inspiration from the funk vibe. TPAB probably wouldn't have been possible if this album hadn't opened up the door to commercially viable live instrumentation

Now I really want to go to California and listen to Daft Punk

It aged like fine wine. My favorite Daft Punk album. Nothing compares to Doin' It Right or Game of Love

I love this album, Touch is my favorite song on it.

Getting a real singer on the track would've helped. The COMEONCOMEONCOMEON section is godly.

>When that beautiful medley of instruments comes in and takes you to another world
Touch is a song that gives you life again.

Yeah I feel like the ripples that this album created are definitely still being felt. Honestly I feel like even radioheads new album could have been affected by this. I mean, the entire time i was listening to amsp I was just surprised by how groovy a lot of the tracks sounded. Would be really interesting to see a parallel universe where RAM was never released and just see how different everything would be.

lol remember when half of mu went into a shitstorm because it didn't sound exactly like discovery

You're right about ripples, but Radiohead has been messing with Jazz and Funk for 16 years.

True, but I don't think we've ever heard anything like that groove on decks dark from them before. Yeah the affect on radiohead is probably far fetched but now that its pointed at that influence on TPAB is just so obvious now. I'm so glad daft punk exists

MAybe because sexual intercourse lasts about 6 minutes on average in non-porn world

really just replacing pharrell for that track wouldve helped. he was great on lucky but his vocals on lose yourself was pretty sub-par

>Doin' It Right

Brings a tear to my eye

>t. person who doesn't listen to disco, funk, or techno

as opposed to all the consistently good electronic music produced in the past couple of decades. no, we needed p4k-approved claptrap to prove EDM was bogus

are you actually fucking kidding me you racist sack of shit

no fucking way are you people serious. two french fucks taught a black kid from Compton about funk? i think TPAB is vastly overrated, but this is straight up horse shit.

what the actual fuck does this mean? where did Radiohead "mess with" jazz and funk? have you heard of the entirety of '90s and '00s underground hip hop you fucking honky shitter?

y'all need to go back to l'r'ed'dit

Exactly. I think the Daft Punk liked the idea of making a band for two tracks on the album, though.
Don't forget UPTOWN FUNK YOU UP and the fact that Pharrel is a house hold name. RAM moved shit around, that's for sure. My vote for album of the decade so far.

>where did Radiohead "mess with" jazz and funk?
Maybe with polyrhythms and Rhodes piano on the opener of Kid A. Very first fucking track. Maybe with the Jazz fusion all over KoL

Yo, do you know what racist means?

>polyrhythms = jazz
like sure prog rock and the artier punk music of the end of the '70s and beginning of the '80s probably got the idea there, but no album released in fucking 2000 can claim jazz influence for polyrhythms, especially when the whole thing is a love affair/update of '70s electronic prog like Kraftwerk with the textural sensibilities of '90s IDM

i fucking hate how Sup Forumstants have to justify liking shit like Radiohead and David Bowie by saying they're hugely influenced by jazz. it just shows your ignorance of jazz outside of like rockist favorites like Bitches Brew if you think jazz fusion by 2011 was still sounding like KoL it's fucking embarrassing, honestly.

taking historically black genres and claiming that a bunch of white Europeans taught black children raised in ghettoes about them is racist. not caring enough about these genres unless white European musicians produce them to have any idea what they sound like is racist. sorry you're an idiot.

>radiohead never expiremented with jazz
whats amnesiac or tkol
>2016 and not admitting RAM was album of the decade
you goofed

I'm a Jazz student at UNT. My fav Jazz album is either Down Here On The Ground by Wes Montgomery or any given 20s Armstrong/Bechet collection. I know a thing or two.

Who said any of that shit? All that was said was whitey make funk and disco commercial again. Does that surprise you?

>two french fucks taught a black kid from Compton about funk?

no, it's just that RAM got alot of people thinking about funk again... I mean, literally within a year after it's release you get uptown funk and TPAB to name a few.

Still not as good as mattybraps

it's a mastapeece baby

...but it's not.

RAM is a good album, maybe even a great album depending on who you ask, but to claim it is the greatest album of the decade means shutting out every potential musical progression of the last 6 and next 4 years.

got the date wrong, 2 years for TPAB. That's around the time it was being made though, further proves the point

What a mess of an album. Daft Punk's worst.

I don't think I've even listened to it since the week it came out.

Sounds even better, Get Lucky and Lose Yourself to Dance are the weakest link of the album, but still sound enjoyable. Everything else is god-tier. Fucking amazing album.

Random, but does anyone have the Sup Forums french touch infographic? Looking for an album with a light blue/black theme

This album is so goddamn cheesy and hard to take seriously. The singles are fun, but every track that tries for something "epic" or "deep" is a total cringefest.

in your opinion

sure

Wow, how things have changed. This album was HATED HATED HATED upon release here. Makes me wonder what you guys are going to critically re-evaluate down the road.

most people praising it ITT never even heard of Sup Forums when the album came out. It's not a re-evaluation, it's just a different crowd of people.

Yeah I wasn't here when it came out either

Touch has the best songwriting they have ever done, should have been even longer

>y'all
hello rebbit

It's been three years already? Damn.

I squealed like a little girl when the album came out. Still love it.

I was at a Walmart and thought I heard generic muzak elevator music on the store PA. After a minute I realized it was actually "Give Life Back To Music".

That pretty much sums up what I think about this album.

crap

>opened up the door to commercially viable live instrumentation

welcome to thousands of years ago. a greek chorus sends you its gratitude from the depths of time.

7/10

overrated as fuck
underrated as fuck

meh

It's alright but I feel as if the beats are just grime speeded up leaving no space for the MC.

Alright bitches, official track tiers:
>God Tier
Contact, Touch, Giorgio by Moroder

>Great Tier
Give Life Back to Music, Instant Crush, Doin' It Right

>Good Tier
The Game of Love, Motherboard, Fragments of Time

>Meh Tier
Within, Beyond, Lose Yourself to Dance, Get Lucky

Consider suicide my good sir.

>God Tier
Get Lucky
>Meh Tier
Doin' It Right
>really? tier
everything else

I don't even consider it like a DP album. It was bad then, it is bad now and it will forever be bad.

I like the one about staying up all night to get lucky

Meh, I haven't listened to it in ~2 years.

youtu.be/rEamE0MYPkg

which song is that?
touch?

honestly, i haven't listened to it for a year now. It's great, but I would listen to some nu-disco.

a poor man's jamiroquai

No dude, you're thinking of Doin' It Right

>bored, read panda bear's wiki yesterday
>tries to claim Daft Punk's 2013 Grammy AOTY because he had vocals on one track.
That's just pathetic

those are the rules you tard

Hi, panda bear.
Even if those are the rules, I don't give a shit, vocals on one track doesn't count

one of the worst comeback records in recent memory, awful music

probably the best moment in the album, yeah

discovery is way more unique t b h

Yeah same. Totally unremarkable

>what is this im feelin

daft punk is litearlly the greatest electronic producer of modern times but vaporwave listening kiddies will never agree, because everything they listen to are a product of the products of daft punk.

just because ur crush likes this shite doesn't mean u have to user

ALIVE 2017 When?

kys

>ALIVE 2017 When????????

within and beyond are actually really great though.

beyond + motherboard is my favorite 2 track combo on the album
