May 22, 2013Daft Punk's most intelligent and deepest album to date, absolutely phenomenal. The scale of song's such as 'Touch', 'Giorgio by Moroder' and 'Contact' prove that Daft Punk are STILL ahead of the curve. Personal favourites are, 'Give Life back to Music', 'Touch', 'Instant Crush', 'Get Lucky', 'Doin' it Right' and of course the epic 'Giorgio By Moroder'.

May 23, 2013I really love this album. I haven't been a hardcore Daft Punk fan but i REALLY love this album.... It is excellent, the mastering and recording is T O P NOTCH!!!!!!! Quality. And i love the jazzy/rocky/electronic/funk/retro music..... Fine music, i love it.
There is a few songs i dont particularly like so much, but every song is IMO at least OK! It's close to perfect.

Jun 7, 2013Para los que creían que Daft Punk habían llegado a un bache, vuelven con toda, se reinventan y llegan con este refresco de muy buena música, alejados como siempre del mal gusto comercial que es lo que alegra. y haciendo un viaje por la buena vibra setentera y ochentera.

Jun 1, 2013Four words: Album of the Summer
With nary a bad track throughout the entire 74 minute journey, RAM brings disco back into the mainstream. While underground artists continued to play with disco (in various forms) since the 70s, daft punk bring life to an otherwise dead sound. -

May 29, 2013This album is a little more mellow and laid back than their previous work, but the more you listen, the better the songs get. The collaboration and effort to perfect this album is excellent. Any future remixes should also be excellent.

Dec 12, 2013Daft Punk managed to incorporate powerful emotion, playfulness, and melodic funk in what is arguably one of the best releases of 2013, hearkening back to the 'sounds of the 60s and 70s'.
EDIT: I originally gave this album a 5/10. I realized I didn't give it the fair listen it deserved. -

May 15, 2014Daft Punk have continued to provide us with mellow beats and good songs. This is an album that I could lose myself in whether on my way home or anywhere else. Thumbs up!
-
Dec 29, 2013Is a perfect album, maybe isn't the typical album that all the fans expected from Daft Punk, but it's still an excellent album.
Ps: for the simple fact that it is not the same style as the previous album, does not mean it's bad. -
May 5, 2014Random Access Memories is full of amazing songs, especially contact. The one complaint I do have is that the song Motherboard is really lacking, and not as memorable as the others, such as touch, giorgio, and contact are.

The tribute to Giorgio Moroder is superb. I've listened the album dozens of times. -

Nov 18, 2014Solid album. Giorgio is really good. I don't think i dislike any of the songs although Fragments of Time is kind of weak. Daft Punk should make a remix album of this. There are some good remix albums of RAM out there.

Dec 25, 2017Random Access Memories is a great throwback to the soulful tunes of the 70's. Funky, spacious, groovy, thematic, and gorgeously arranged, Daft Punk made an amazing album without a single dud, proving they deserve their spot as some of the best producers of our generation. just sit back, put some headphones on, and enjoy the damn music.

-
Dec 25, 2021It deserves all the prizes it got. It IS that good. The addition of Daft Punk in a more focused Disco style is perfect, and the features of other artists just make it better.

Jun 12, 2013always hard to separate the hype from the product, but especially so with a band like Daft Punk. this was not quite the 8/10, but I rounded up and I think that figure will hold over time. review sketch if you care here: here:http://simmserely.blogspot.com/2013/05/daft-punk-random-access-memories-review.html

May 24, 2013Daft Punk returns to the spotlight by taking a step back into past and bringing the wonders of a forgotten era of disco into the modern world. A hypnotizing and engaging effort, that keeps the listener hooked time after time, despite a couple of questionable sections.

Jun 18, 2013Very solid album by Daft Punk. Still great after 5-7 listens, but unfortunately after those 5-7 listens the album gets pretty boring. A good album is the type that gets better after you listen to it more and more, not saying this album is bad in any way, but RAM lacks in playback value.
-
Jun 20, 2013I wouldn't say this album is a masterpiece, but I do say it is remarkable. I like to think about it as the extension of some of their 'less popular' songs like "Veridis Quo". It doesn't mean that Daft Punk gave up their willingness to make people dance as they used to do, this time they wanted to make people think about their emotional B-side.
-
Jul 21, 2013Daft Punk once again surprises us with a new disco themed album that represents the light at the end of the dark tunnel in the modern music industry. It's a hit or miss, but when it hits, it really hits.

Oct 9, 2013While It's not my favorite Daft Punk album, (Discovery, Human after all) It does have a selection of great songs like Get Lucky, Doing it Right and Giorgio by Moroder. There are a few songs I cant stand like The Game of Love and Instant Crush. But overall, a very good album and I can strongly recommend.
-
Mar 20, 2014Random access memories is definitely hands down the best album of the year. Finally, some music that actually feels fresh. Daft punk's new album really gives you a sense of the 70s/80s EDM and a really funky vibe. I must admit it doesn't feel like the same Daft Punk from 10 or so years ago, but is great nonetheless. A solid 8/10.

May 26, 2016It's a shame that most people only recognise this thing because of "Get Lucky", because it has a lot of wonderful tracks that are much better. "Touch" being my favorite btw.

Dec 20, 2021Dazzling 80's synth masterpiece in a catalogue overwhelmed with career best. Equally pop and experimental it delivers a fulfilling sometimes obscure journey through a night disco you never want to end. It doesn't reach new heights or push boundaries for the duo but rather shows off what they've mastered throughout these years cementing them not jist as icons in their genre but in music in general.
-
Jan 15, 2023After so many years, I finally found an album that again gave me a new sense of mindlessness.

Jul 26, 2013I have to applaud Daft Punk for doing something a little different than their previous albums. Random Access Memories is not necessarily one of my favorites from them, but it's solid. Get Lucky is a killer track. However, I was not crazy about Giorgio by Moroder. It's a bit long. And after a while I found myself skipping it to go on to the next track.

May 21, 2013When I first listened to Random Access Memories, I had a blast. Sure, there were a few tracks I didn't like, but I enjoyed a damn good portion of it, and after spinning it a few times, I realized that I didn't care about it anymore. Daft Punk's homage to 70's disco, jazz fusion and soft rock is an interesting direction to choose, but it's only meant to be loved once.

Sep 24, 2015While grossly overrated, Random Access Memories is still a good album with many high points, but also suffers from a bloated ego that doesn't seem like the same duo that made Homework and Discovery. Though, "Within" and "Contact" are strokes of pure genius.
-
Jun 8, 2020I listened to the whole album and I think it's OK. It did gives me lots of disco vibes and it brings me back to the 80s. (although I wasn't born in the 80s, I was born in 2003 LOL). Anyway I think I like this album. But I don't understand why this album won over Red by Taylor Swift at the Grammys, which at the end, as considered one of the best albums of the decade of 2010s.

May 21, 2013With this album, the highs are extremely high and the lows are quite low. Tracks like "Instant Crush" are far too poppy for my liking, but then tracks like "Give Life Back to Music" and "Within" are exquisite. Too hit-and-miss as an overall project, unfortunately.

Jun 3, 2013Nice music but sorry to say that, no one would have notice this album without the "Daft Punk" label on the cover. Neat and sweet but I was expecting better from this band, 8 years after Human After all.

Jun 12, 2013Quite boring compared to their previous efforts. Fast songs are ok, slow songs are all a bit meh. Due to all the hype I was expecting a classic listening experience but it's actually really dull, and if it didn't have "Daft Punk" on the cover I think a lot more people would think the same way.
Overrated.

Jul 12, 2013As a record standing almost entirely on nostalgia, sure, it gives schmaltzy ’70s dance music a fine, not-sacrilegious update and sets it to a pleasant neon glow, but it’s a trip through history that’s almost more educational than immersive.
-
Jul 3, 2013RAM has the immediate appeal of disco, but never overstuffs with candied hooks, even when we want it to.
-
Jun 26, 2013They've wisely chosen to not compete with the younger generation of DJs, and shown the upstarts the roots of dance music. They've also proven that they are not one-trick ponies who can only build beats on samples. They do just as well with a completely different sonic pallette.
