poo poo man, The Game of Love sounds like they took Stickerbrush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2 and mashed it up with Something About Us. I love this album already.

Trip report, I have only heard get lucky and the chords chilly gonzales played. Not a review just writing what I'm thinking at the time. Track 1 - Puts a big ol smile on my face. Solid gold groove. Track 2 - They still know how to make a good solo. So far I get the feeling that they're making a daft punk album with a studio band and them "singing" with a backup band. One that is godly, obviously. Track 3 - More smiles, the vo and the track giving way to hot rear end space disco grooves was rad. Makes me recall whichever preview said they were inspired by darkside. Here is where all that money went hahahaha. Track 4 - Robo ballad hit that never was. Feels like a breather after 3. Track 5 - Definitely sounds like a strokes and dp collaboration. Could be a darkhorse fav, not sure if it's one of mine. At this point I'm agreeing with a lot of previews that were cautiously optimistic about this album. It's already had a lot of fun moments and it might just be charming for how way out there it is. Track 6 - Oh my, welcome back to discovery land. WIPE OFF ALL THE SWEAT SWEAT SWEAT! This is hilariously ballsy. This is a hot track. Should've been the leadoff single. Starting to understand what they meant about doing with a studio band what they used to do with samples. Track 7 - More darkside influence. Paul Williams, gives way to more big band craziness and then plummets down into some robot space crooning. I really like the little soundscapes they throw in here and there. Wild stuff, way outside their comfort zone. Track 8 - So what's different here? Now that it's in context I like it a bit more. It's not the best song on the album but it is a good primer for what you're in for. Has another breakdown now. Track 9 - We kept the Tron orchestra late a few days and had them do some riffs. Another Paul Williams song. Slick R&B grooves. The entire album so far sounds like an alternate dimension Discovery. Or something where Daft Punk were charged with having to spend a billion dollars to make a genre hopping space disco funk epic. Track 10 - Tron orchestra returns. These couple of moments have sounded like Daft Punk wrangling an orchestra and session band into something as tight as a sample. More soundscapes, still really impressed by these Track 11 - Ween makes a Hall & Oates song, Todd Edwards and Daft Punk re-record it. This loving album owns, there is hardly a down moment. Maybe a song you won't love here and there's always something cool going on. 12 - UNGH YEAH! High gloss beats with DP and Panda Bear popping syllables everywhere. Another style departure that still has the DP touch. That's the story of the album for me. That they were successful at all these different styles, having them still definitely live on one album. 13 - Taking it home, Bombastic rear end shaking drums, almost sounds like Justice's AVD turf with Chemical Brothers' beats. And all of a sudden the Alive 2007 guys bust in, grab the controls and stomp all over your disco album. Almost sounds like a "Just so you know, we can still do this, we just chose not to". Sounded like a really expensive, really fun, ride with a surprise ending. Hilarious and pretty bold. In short: Great album, the listening party previews and collaborator series did a good job of preparing me for the craziness and I appreciated it.

This albums runtime is dangerously close to the same runtime as Electroma. Edit: It has a Discovery vibe now and then but it's definitely something else entirely. I have a feeling the process of actually putting together the album was similiar only they were using a library of "samples" they made themselves in the studio. Both albums has a lot of disco guitar and FEELINGS. Intel&Sebastian fucked around with this message at 20:18 on May 13, 2013 |

Colonel Whitey posted:Just curious, what was the general initial response to HAA? Did it start this positive and then cool off? Or was everyone pretty cool to it on first listen? If I remember correctly, initial impressions were so negative that some people thought Daft Punk had leaked a fake, deliberately lovely album to mess with everyone. It took until Alive 2007 for people to really warm up to Human After All.

I know a lot of people didn't like it much at all when it first came out, then said Alive 2007 made then reconsider what they thought about it.
