Wasn't a fan of Random Access Memories.
Alive 2007 is still my favorite thing they've done. It's a really great live set blend of their first 3 albums. It also fixes the issue I have with a lot of EDM where you "get" the song in like 30-60 seconds but the track still goes on another 3-4 minutes. I really ought to get around to listening to Alive 1997... --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! ...

Random Access Memories has somehow gotten even better over time. There's really been nothing else like it in pop music.

I feel like Homework is stronger than the sum of its parts, both in its structure and what it represents. It belongs to a very important moment in electronic music, while Discovery and Random Access Memories, while both great, owe a lot to other genres. So Discovery and Random Access Memories have more hit songs due to their pop influences, but there's something about Homework as a whole that remains unique to me. (There's also the fact that I think the latter albums have their weaker moments while Homework is strong from end to end) All three are among the best albums ever made, however, and I used to prefer Discovery. But Homework grows on me every time I listen. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ ... Copied to Clipboard!

Like, I'm relistening to Discovery now after having just listened to Homework...the stretch between Crescendolls and High Life is fine but nothing special. Meanwhile, Homework captures the feeling of a perfect rave throughout. Consistency is important to me in an album.

for me, veridis quo is the only... not low point but "not as great as everything else" point on discovery. it's a decent song but that's the only time when i'm like "ok can we move on now." i agree that homework doesn't have any songs like that, it's consistently great.
i still like discovery better (i have a lot more nostalgia for that album - i got into homework way later) but yeah, they're both among my favorite albums of all time for sure. --- Lasa ... Copied to Clipboard!

(There's also the fact that I think the latter albums have their weaker moments while Homework is strong from end to end) I dunno, I could say the same about Homework, honestly! Daft Punk owes exactly as much of their success with Homework to Chicago House as Discovery/RAM take from disco and pop. And I don't think that's a bad thing at all - plus Daft Punk has always been up front about it. There's a whole track on Homework where they just list their influences! CasanovaZelos posted... Consistency is important to me in an album. I would basically just make this same argument as a positive for Discovery lol. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think the big difference to me is that there are plenty of definitive disco and pop albums and not as many definitive house albums. Again, not that this is a problem for Discovery; I just find it weird to leave Homework out of the conversation, especially when including RAM. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ ...

It's a great album! I think the other two are better. I'm not grading on a curve based on what's definitive for the genre or anything, I just actually think the other two are far more consistent.

i do think there's a difference between homework era daft punk and their later eras. there was a ton of house in the '90s that was influenced by homework while i don't think discovery and RAM necessarily led to a huge amount of '70s disco-influenced electronic music. not saying that's a point in homework's favor but there is a difference to me.

I'm not a fan of Human After All itself but it helped serve as a base to make Alive 2007 one of the greatest live albums ever, so I'm still happy it exists.

Damn that sucks.
My favorite Daft Punk song is the one where they keep saying "Long....Mr. Footlong. Mr. Foot...Long. Mr. Footlong" Or at least I thought all these years. I just typed in those lyrics to find the name. Apparently it's called Face to Face. --- Bells, bells, bells! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I love them but I'm okay with this. Didn't seem like anything else was coming and it's good to move on. It makes it much more likely they'll come back in 10-20 years with an awesome comeback album.
Also I'm pretty sure live Daft Punk shows weren't actually done by the 2 guys, so they could still happen. Plus there's so many tribute shows going on if you want that vibe. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance ... Copied to Clipboard!
