I'm a mixed bag of emotions right now.
On one hand I'm kind of disappointed. It's not what I expected at all. They didn't really re-invent the wheel which is what it was getting hyped up as. I was also hoping for something more danceable after the Tron soundtrack.
On the other hand I'm pleasantly surprised. I love the hell out of it because its way off of what I expected. These guys have huge brass balls to put out an album like this. The production level is incredible. There are a lot if songs I want to make babies to. Niles Rodgers is the shit. Touch is a song that tears me appart.... I feel like I should hate that song, but something about it pulls me back in. I'm probably going to like it the more I hear it. The first time I listened to the album was on the grooveshark link on my phone, the songs were out of order, and I was at work so I was constantly being interrupted. Just listened to it all of the way through on my stereo in proper order and it was wayyyyyyy better. When I get my hands on my vinyl copy I'm going to get really stoned, open a bottle of wine, and really dig into this album more.

I must be the only person on the internet who thought the album was forgettable and mostly boring. Sigh. Oh wait, I found one FB friend who agrees, so now there are 2 of us on the entire internet who think it's boring. I knew you would hate it.

My favorite part about this curveball of an album is that I have a feeling that people like HG and Burrito have the potential to fall in love with it, while the nu-rave kids will instantly hate it and turn their backs on the duo that they've been told they're supposed to blindly love and worship.

ITT: Geno ignoring my post telling him that this album is about as far removed from anything Daft Punk has ever done as humanly (robotly?) possible. Give it a shot, dude.

I actually really like Daft Punk. I'm going to go for a drive and throw this new shit down later tonight.

The production level is incredible. There are a lot if songs I want to make babies to. There are definitely some sexy sounds coming out of this album. Expect an influx of preggers at Wildhorse over the next little while. They should send Daft Punk a thank you note for the boost in business.

10 songs in, I've enjoyed 3 or 4 so far. I could really do without the shitty R&B and faux-experimental spoken word garbage.

If you dooo it riiight Let it gooo alll niiiight shadows alll you break out into the light If. you. lose. your. way. tonight... thats. how. you. know. the. magics. right. What song is the "If. you. lose. your. way. tonight... thats. how. you. know. the. magics. right." reminding me of? It's driving me nuts. It was some popular song that had the same 'pacing' and tempo as that (different words). Maybe even it's the same guy singing it? I've listened to this song 75 times trying to Dr. Garbanzoure it out, and I'm going nuts.

But I definitely don't love it. Not yet, at least.

I took the opportunity to learn about Giorgio Moroder after hearing that track, and now I absolutely love and appreciate his spoken word portion of it. I'm currently on my 5th listen of the album and it honestly gets better every single time. It bums me out that a lot of you are probably going to give it one spin and never listen to it again. A lot of it didn't hit me until the 3rd and 4th time through.

Living in the forest has put quite the damper on my ability to explore new music. Hopefully I'll listen to it soon!

Don't worry Pea. They'll be forced to listen to it 6000 times at Sasquatch. We'll all hate it 15 days from now.

So "Modern Vampires" is pretty great! The first Vampire Weekend album I really like.
Going to listen to the new Daft Punk in a bit here, sober this time. We will see how I feel then.

New Queens of the Stone Age album in June. Sadly, a little disappointed with the new album on first listen... Nothing too up-tempo, like their old stuff. I'm sure it will grow on me though.
