    SUPER Over-Hyped Album. Most of it is just Instrumentals and the rest is just ear-hurting vocals. Only good song here is Get Lucky. Daft Punk is very over-hyped overall.

    Daft Punk's last act: abandon the laptop, hire Nile Rodgers and session legends, and rebuild disco by hand. "Get Lucky" conquered the planet, but the record's heart is in "Touch" and "Giorgio by Moroder" — sentimental, indulgent, and gorgeous about it. A love letter to studio craft that doubled as a farewell.

About

Random Access Memories is the upcoming fourth studio album by French electronic music duo Daft Punk. It will be released by Daft Life under exclusive license to Columbia Records on May 17, 2013 in Australia, May 20, 2013 in the United Kingdom and on May 21, 2013 in the United States. Work started on the record concurrently with the Tron: Legacy score, without a clear plan as to what its structure would be. Shortly after Daft Punk signed with Columbia, a gradual promotional rollout began for the album including billboards, television advertising and a web series. Random Access Memories pays tribute to the late 1970s and early 80s era of music in the United States, particularly the sound of Los Angeles recordings of the period. Daft Punk recorded the album largely using live instrumentation with session musicians, and limited the use of electronics to drum machines, a modular synthesizer and vintage vocoders. The album also features collaborations with Panda Bear, Julian Casablancas, Todd Edwards, DJ Falcon, Chilly Gonzales, Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams and Pharrell Williams. Critical reception to the album has generally been positive.
