Theyre similar albums cause of how ambitious they are. But RAM is so dense and impeccably structured, just when you think you’ve heard something which feels a little off, the next listen you realize that it’s a crucial moment in the record. “Within” instantly stuck out to me as this incredibly weird, slight piano ballad that comes out of nowhere but now I honestly couldn’t imagine the album without it. It only takes up 3 minutes of a 74-minute album so it’s not like they needed padding, it’s clearly something they wouldn’t have kept it on unless it had a purpose and it really is this perfect, mood-setting break in between “Giorgio” and “Instant Crush”. Every single thing on this album feels like it was a conscious decision made over months and years of discussion and work so even trying to instantly pick it apart and decide what’s filler and what’s not seems like an insult to the amount of time and effort put into making it a perfect album.

This is irrefutably Daft Punk’s magnum opus. Probably their most epic album to date. This is essentially their concept album, as it directly picks up the themes from Human After All.

RAM in a sense is the androids having an existential crisis of their failed attempts to blend in with society, evaluating themselves after an extended hiatus, and eventually achieving the singularity. The theory of human and machine fusing as one. If you analyze the lyrics in “Within” “Touch” its well indicated. The build up in the 2001 space odyssey ambience of “Contact” is the final transformation of them becoming…wait for it……..human after all.

After giving it a few listens, its defiantly ranks up there with Discovery. But knowing how elaborate this album is, its should be entitled RE-Discovery.

This is if Daft Punk composed the music for Pilotwings 64. I LOVE IT!!!!!

I face palmed so hard I gave myself an aneurysm. Seriously, WTF happened to this man? Its now obvious he’s not being facetious with these questionable collaborations and projects. I used to be a hardcore fan of Weezer, but the 00s have practically destroyed everything I loved about their music and turned Rivers into a nut job of autistic scale. The production value on this song piss poor. The vocals overpower the instrumentation, the mixing has that horrible garbled sound of Hurley, and the quality is so low that it sounds like it was exported in 96kbps.

So let me get this straight. You combed through over 120 bands I have listed in facebook, cherry pick the ones that you hate and then use said bands to make assumptions of my so-called poor musical taste. Just wow. You are the textbook example of those arrogant music snobs I seriously wanna punch in the neck. I went through that elitism phase during college years and looking back, I regret ever having such a smug attitude about something so subjective. Yeah, I like 311 and Lit, UNIRONICALLY, what the fuck of it? My philosophy is if it sounds good, Ill listen to it. Im a graphic designer in the music industry so networking with upcoming local bands is my job. If their sound derives from a band that I enjoy, it solidifies my interest in promoting them. But in regards to my musical taste, I happen to be eclectic of all different genres and sub-genres. If youre seriously going to insult my musical preference based on a handful of bands you dont like, then youre the type of the person that I would hate to associate myself with. People who worry about what other people think of their musical tastes have a name. They’re called poseurs and Ive dealt with that shit years ago and I dont intend on revisiting that chapter of my life.

Again, its my opinion that Neutral Milk Hotel are ok, subpar, average. I’m just tired of every damn music blog, indie hipster and music store employee putting this band on such a high pedestal. You see, If youre going to get that bent out of shape over a damn opinion, then it makes me question how anyone would wanna hang around someone like yourself. And its a shame that you dont appreciate people with a wider and diverse taste while you or people of this site prefer to listen to strictly obscure and underground bands.

negative publicity yet again. Thank you!

…and thus on this day, hipsters across the world creamed their pants in delight

sooooo those so called “new” songs are from 2006?

its comforting to know that Radiohead hasnt given a shit about “Creep” for over a decade otherwise there would be a twitter war a transpirin’

Im calling bullshit his so-called illness. Hes canceled most of his tours due to the venues not providing a vegan set up. Weather hes been ill or not, it just seems suspicious that he would cancel more tours after 2 recent shows didnt meet his dietary demands.

I think Morrissey needs his own reality show. His antics this week alone were amusing.

Odelay Beck in effect!

so….is the new trend in music to direct videos that are literal to the lyrics?
