Edited one year agoWhy did I sell this CD and buy it back again. What a stunner of an album. CD sound quality can't be beaten by spotify. What was I thinking. Get Lucky came out when I was at high school and I it was the tune everyone was playing. I used to run the school radio so it was what we often had request for, I liked the tune but it was too popular and I did not explore Daft Punk because of this track. I was very wrong, I have gotten to really like what this album has to offer. Tunes like 'Game of Love' and many of the others are so melodic and chilled and so worthy of my HIFI setup and headphones.

This album is art. Since i bought this CD, i have listened to it 12 times! This rarely happens to me. -
Cannot agree with johnrac review. Using a Van Den Hul Frog Gold here, and this record sounds enormous on my system. Noisy pressing, but great sonics. -
Interesting album, but have never understood why it is so revered as a piece of production. It's flabby and bloated on vinyl, sounds as though it was mixed for anything but a good listening set up. I

Shame to see this comment section being filled with a lot of pretentious hipsters whining about this album who clearly have their ears turned off. -
Edited 10 years agoTruly awful and poor, totally disapointing. It was very frustating, I used to love Daft Punk.

It's strange that after the popularity this album gathered there are so few actual reviews of it. With some distance already, well, you must know that Daft Punk never invented anything: they are just making things fashionable. They were not the first with the sample-heavy kind of house, but they have among the best tracks of its kind, and they were not the first sounding 70s in "Discovery", but very few dared to enter the Supertramp keyboards like they did in "Digital Love". So it was and wasn't surprising how this album embraced the 70s progressive and aor-like music, music from people that wanted to mix everything and wanted to make it epic, and above it all, the shadow of Alan Parsons Project (say "I Robot", say "Pyramid", say "Eye") in most of the tracks.
It is uneven? Well, maybe. To me it is very bold to put a ballad just in the second track, a downtempo kind of sequel to "Something ", but I accept it. The Moroder rant in "Giorgio By Moroder" is a bit annoying, and the excesses in "Motherboard" and "Beyond" are, yes, a bit excessive. But, but, "Lose yourself to dance" is wonderful with that canon of vocoders that I wish it never ended, "Touch" is wonderfully epic and broadway as it should be, and "Fragments of time", sang by Todd Edwards, is to me the best song of the album, a deceptively simple variation of "What a fool believes" that also recalls Donald Fagen and...
You got it. Nostalgia all around. It is very strange that the people that were behind the most beloved indie-electronica acts in festivals went directly into the music they barely could listen when they were children. Again, in my opinion this was great, despite the over exposition, despite the over popularity of Pharrell after this one (which actually is not much of a problem), and thanks to it Nile Rodgers was globally recognize as the important piece in dance history he is. And maybe I am old, but I like this. -
This is one of the most overrated albums in the whole history of recorded music, I think... It's not that great or original as many people pretend. -
I can certainly understand how long-time Daft Punk fans can find this new album totally different from their previous efforts, but I personally have found RAM to be somewhat very enjoyable.
Anybody that knows me knows that I am a total "metalhead" but have always (secretly) enjoyed House music ('The Prodigy' especially) and I am somewhat familiar with Daft Punk's earliest efforts. I grew up in the late 70s, all of the 80s, and survived Grunge in the 90s...so this type of music is deep in my DNA. I the Disco days very well.
I have only bought a handful of "pop" albums, and this is my latest one. I had never heard of Pharrel previous to this album, but I think that he has a great voice. He reminds me somewhat of Justin Timberlake. In fact, my favorite song on this album is "Lost Yourself To Dance". I specifically bought this album just for that one song, but then I listened to the rest of it and can safely say that I enjoyed the whole thing.
Just one final note--you have to allow artists to grow and try different things. We shouldn't expect them to re-release the same music over and over again as they start to have the same problem that bands such as AC/DC and Obituary have--all of their albums start to sound the same and people lose interest.
I don't have any regrets in purchasing this album, it's something that I will play a lot, in my car, on my home stereo, and on my portable music player.
