https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5uQMwRMHcs HO-LY poo poo Yes, Daft Punk is releasing a new album in one month. Yes, it's got collaborators out the wazoo. Chances it's awesome? High. It's been eight years since Human After All. Since then, so much has changed in electronic music. The DJ has reached its highest point of public visibility since the salad days of big beat in 1997. Thomas and Guy-Manuel have watched and worked on a new sound that they suggest will challenge the current dance music paradigm. Minimal electronic devices. Sparc use of drum machine. Only one track with a sample. Sure, it's a risk, but what would Daft Punk be if they weren't risk-takers? Rumors are circulating that Get Lucky will drop this Friday (April 19), but what IS know is when and where the album will be played for the first time:  RANDOM ACCESS MEMORIES To be released around the third weekend in May (actual date depends on when music is traditionally released on locally) Tracklist Give Life Back to Music The Game of Love Giorgio by Moroder Within Instant Crush Lose Yourself to Dance Touch Get Lucky Beyond Motherboard Fragments of Time Doin' It Right Contact The Collaborators Giorgio Moroder Todd Edwards Nile Rodgers Pharrell Williams Panda Bear Chilly Gonzales DJ Falcon Paul Williams Julian Casablancas Tour Doesn't look like it. Keep your fingers crossed, though.

Popcorn posted:Because hyperbole is gross by definition. The OP asks "Sure, it's a risk, but what would Daft Punk be if they weren't risk-takers?" as if Daft Punk haven't made two totally safe middle-of-the-road albums by this point. Discovery wasn't 'safe'. If it was safe, it would've sounded like Homework and be more Chicago-style House music.

JSnake posted:And now the radio station website just has a youtube link to a fan remix (http://www.sonic1029.com/2013/04/17/getting-lucky/). I think this is the biggest confirmation yet. They're trying to cover their asses. As I stated in the OP, any 'leak' is almost definitely fake. I'm not going to trust any source unless Daft Punk and/or Columbia Records puts it on their respective pages.

I've only listened to the radio edit once, and am purposefully not listening to it again until the music video drops so it remains fresh to me.

Guess who just got their first-ever Top 40 hit on Billboard?quote:Just outside the Hot 100's top 10, Daft Punk notches its highest-ever rank, as "Get Lucky," featuring Pharrell Williams, launches at No. 20 with 113,000 downloads sold. The act had previously reached No. 61 with both 1997's "Around the World" and 2001's "One More Time." "Lucky" starts with just three days of sales, following its April 19 release, although its opening week sales still mark the duo's best frame.

Awesome! I don't listen to Top 40 radio, but the station I listen to (an alternative rock station) has played it at least twice, as far as I know. EDIT: Make it thrice!

After heavy research of Pitchfork's reviews of past Daft Punk work, trends in reviews of dance music, and the Strokes factor (wherein if Pitchfork makes a big deal of a new release, reviews are lower than expected), I'm handicapping their review at 5.95. Also, I like RAM. It's neat.

Get Lucky is up to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Does anyone think they can hit Number 1, or is this just a pipe dream?

Cleretic posted:I don't know what the US charts looks like right now, but I don't recall Get Lucky really competing with anything. Timberlake, maybe? I'm gonna say it climbing higher in the charts is possible, but #1's a bit of an outside chance. I'm pretty sure it's losing in the charts to Rhianna and Pink here in Australia, but I also think it's now legislative law that at least three songs from those two get played every hour in Australia. 1. "Can't Hold Us" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis 2. "Just Give Me a Reason" by Pink 3. "Mirrors" by Justin Timberlake 4. "When I Was Your Man" by Bruno Mars 5. "Stay" by Rihanna 6. "Cruise" by Florida-Georgia Line 7. "Come & Get It" by Selena Gomez 8. "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons 9. "I Love It" by Icona Pop 10. where Daft Punk is right now

Imagine Dragons are an indie pop band (although "Radioactive" is notably dubstep influenced). Icona Pop are a Swedish electropop duo. My local alt rock station plays Radioactive all the time, but I've never heard an Icona Pop song, ever.

CRINDY posted:Even better news: "Get Lucky" has spiked up into the Top 5 on Billboard's Hot 100 this week, jumping from 10 to 4. CD-Rs with Get Lucky were given to CHRs on Random Access Memories' launch day, so it's not unexpected for Daft Punk to reach that high.

Lechtansi posted:The part he played is the phantom, right? The scene where he has the mask on and is playing a bunch of synthesizers with a vocoder is the inspiration for the daft punk image, as far as I can tell. He sang the Phantom's parts, but mainly played Swan, the producer.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Man, that's honestly some poo poo I never thought I would hear, and boy does it make me happy. They've been popular for years and years, but never that popular. Wow. Maybe people loving this album will turn them on to the robots' previous albums as well. Well, my local alternative rock station played Around the World for no discernible reason, so there may be truth in that statement.
