French rich kids and pseudo-musicians Daft Punk finally shat out another LP, seemingly to the universal praise of fans and critics, but mostly to the joy of advertisers and money grabbing PR men drowned in the sound clasped hands sweatily rubbing together.
The lead single “Get Lucky”, is perhaps the least inspired piece of music I’ve ever heard. It’s so generically average that it almost becomes remarkable in its self. Worst still, I’ve been forced to endure this abomination of music every-bastard-where I go – in the car to work, in work, on the TV, on the radio… It’s inescapable, and it’s making me want to tear the ears of the side of my head.
Pharell’s vocals are terribly boring, uninspired, and lazily delivered. Every syllable is like nails on a fucking chalkboard. Very few recordings exist where the lead vocalist doesn’t commit to the recording. Calling this ‘phoned in’ would be quite the compliment.
As for the actual “music”… fuck sakes man…
The same chord progression loops endlessly, Nile’s attempts and to his credit, succeeds to use his generic wah guitar to bore me to death, and empty blandness engulfs me to the extent that I can no longer physically breathe.
As the track reaches its conclusion, Daft Punk “cleverly” introduce the patented vocoder bullshit over the top. It’s executed so poorly and is so unashamedly bad that I have never once managed to listen to the whole thing without putting my head in my hands.
I’d go as far as saying that no music in the last 10 years, be it amateur or professional, has made me want to pull my hair out as much as the new Paft Dunk shalbum.
Oh, you wondering why I mention the album in the title, but only talk about one track? Well that’s because they’re all the fucking same pish. Same fucking chord progressions, same horrible writing, same sense of falling into a dark and empty room and smashing your head on the wall to relieve your monotony…
Zero out of ten. Would not ever fucking listen to again, not even in a life or death situation. Would not recommend, not even to the most throughly deaf moron.
wow… once again you prove that your review skills are at a nevertime high…. or an alltime low. either way. you obviously should stick to reviewing things that you actually LIKE… like…. one direction… or miley cyrus or some shit. keep your useless shitposting off of the internet.. ta ta!
fucking retard.
Oh thank god there is another sane human being on this planet! I thought I was alone in hating this record. Why does everyone love it so? As you point out, the songs are dull and all sound the same… Cheesy disco wah guitar? Why!?
I hate it too!! it’s so annoying. A piece of shit, so boooooooooooooooooooring.
you are not alone, have not figured out what is wrong with everyone else yet though
Can’t stand the record. Discovery is one of my favorite records of all time, but Random Access Memories is just so, so, so uninteresting. It all sounds like a Comcast commercial.
OMG, programmed “music” for programmed minds. Scary to see how the popularity of this regurgitated disco reflects the vapid psyches of the masses.

You are definitely not alone. I don’t know how these idiots managed to get their vocoder’d looping wah-wah trash successfully marketed and distributed but it needs to end. Now.
It’s the most boring piece of garbage I have ever heard. It’s as if Electric Light Orchestra travelled through time from the 70s and made their music shittier but with ‘better robot voices’. Complete and utter garbage.
