Random Access Memories
by Daft Punk

Such a monumental album for Daft Punk, you can just hear the greatness in the tracks. Instant Crush will forever be that song. (Edited)

Album of the year at the 2014 Grammys (Edited)

10 years later I listened to this album again, I was stunned by the impact, it seemed like everything was new. This album is a masterpiece now I understand, after listening so many times in 13\14 now I understand after all these years. (Edited)

This one was huge when it came out. Full of great music and hit tracks.

It hasn't aged amazing but still pretty good. (Edited)

I was a real brat about this one when it came out. A decade later, and with a better understanding of DP's sound and career, I can appreciate just how exciting this is and how well it has aged. It's nothing short than a loving and exhilarating history of popular music from the 1960s onward. A lush odyssey of disco, rock, dance, and electronica with some of the influences and beneficiaries Daft Punk could assemble. Even when some of the cuts wander without much reward, RAM is exquisite. And luckily, there's plenty to adore. (Edited)

Commercially successful but packed full of ambition. The album is full of moments that look to the future of music while paying homage to styles and genres of years gone by. (Edited)

Viagem de tempo espetacular... Tanto para o passado quanto para o futuro.

A bit too long, so doesn't really work as an album for me. But there are some highlights - Motherboard, Give Life Back To Music, Doing It Right and Get Lucky (although it was massively overplayed when it came out).

This album could definitely be trimmed down quite a bit with the 1 hour and 15 minute run time really pushing the concentration of the listener. There just isn't enough variation to keep someone engaged for that long and with there being quite a few tracks I would consider filler, it did become quite a slog to get through. Despite this, there are great songs present that do really carry the album and are some of Daft Punk's best tracks ever. The features are a real strength as well such as Panda Bear and Nile Rodgers being my favourites. You also have to give a lot of credit to the production which is always flawless and makes for a fantastic listen. Overall, if this record was cut down it would be one of the greatest of all time but unfortunately that hasn't been done (Edited)

First introduction to Daft Punk, excellent album. It really featured the sound of the futur. (Edited)
