May 22, 2013I was waiting for their album since 2007,the wait is over and i couldn't be more happy by the results.Very,very different from all the previous album,with more lyrics and less actual EDM in it,but as others pointed out this could be considered a prequel to all the others album.

May 26, 2013At first, Random Access Memories could feel as empty, but the more you listen to it, the more beautiful it becomes. It is a departure from their previous work, but this album is a triumph, and the very proof that no matter which path the duo takes, they know how to make it rock.

Dec 6, 2018Incredible work of art that draws on inspirations from the birth of electronic music, paying homage to the great Giorgio Moroder, Beautiful, soulful synth sounds that capture the essence of what makes electronic music great. Such high quality production, such emotion. This could be one the greatest albums of all time I thin

Jun 30, 2013The album is perfect in every way. Since the first time I've heard it, I was hooked. The disco electronic beats are amazing. At first, I was doubtful. I haven't thought Daft Punk would deliver such an amazing album. You should definitely listen to this.

May 22, 2013One cannot expect anything stronger this year. To dance and to contemplate. A bombastic return of disco gods. Panda Bear and Moroder as cherries on top of a pie are tasteful. Yummy.

Jun 13, 2013Great album! Every song on this album is just amazing. I wasn't much of a daft punk fan before this album.
But now I am! Brilliant Album!
Lose yourself to dance -
Aug 15, 2013Beautiful from start to finish and elegantly crafted with excellent attention to detail.
It is Daft Punk's musically strongest album with great variety and emotion. -

Jul 2, 2013This is just an excellent example of how music and conceptual albums should be done. And that is exactly why the release started with Give Life Back to Music.
-
Jun 2, 2013One (if not) the most anticipated album release of the year, the duo awoken from their circuital slumber to once again shake the EDM scene. From "Give Life Back to Music" to "Contact", Guy-Man and Thomas dazzled our ears with the disco vibed LP. In their fourth album, many would question the LP stance as an electro music, but all (or most) would inclined that RAM is the best album of 2013 so far.

Jul 12, 2013Daft Punk time-travels to the 1970s to create music with the most influential funk bands of the era, then returns to modern day and debuts their private recordings. They're beautiful. It's based on a true story. A true story of time travel.

Jun 5, 2013The un-doubtful style of Daft Punk is clear in every song. Old times come back to mind and I must say Giorgio by Moroder is one of the finest pieces I've heard him in.

May 21, 2013I love this album and I love how Daft Punk continue to evolve their sound and experiment. It's almost never the exact same thing from them. I can't to hear what they will do next.
-
Jul 24, 2013This a great album which is different to other albums by daft punk which is what makes their music stand out.
The quality of the whole album with very high details shows up and gives it its sense of mood. -
May 23, 2013Excellent album! it perfectly syncs retro disco with electronic. when I first heard the song "Get Lucky" on YouTube I thought someone was rick rolling me with an Earth wind & Fire song and whenever I listen to this album I think of buying a disco ball for the living room.

May 21, 2013Absolutely amazing and compelling album which takes you back—to the future. It compeleld me in each song, and when I wasn't listening to it I was still inevitably dancing. AMAZING album.
-
May 31, 2013All that can be said of disco and funk music in daft punk is clearly in this album. full of innovative rhythms and giving new life to the music that we have lost in these last year, these guys came back with their best album in years. personally, I think is better than discovery although not as good as Homework but still it's such a classic album for new generations who want music with a 70s air.

May 21, 2013A must buy. Although it feels a bit strange the first you hear the album, the more you listen the more you fall in love with it. Every song feels like a masterpiece. To fully enjoy the album you must be open to new things but my god, does it worth it... Daft Punk talk to you through melodies, the songs will make you think and they will trully speak to your core. Mind blowing.
-
May 21, 2013well i think this album is honestly is the best album daft punk has ever released. It has lived up to all the rant and rave about it too it was well worth the wait. Some songs on this album seem to be repetitive but good. I think this album is getting a Grammy no matter what and if it doesn't I call shenanigans... That's all folk I would highly recommend purchasing this album.
-
May 21, 2013A very good album. I really was disappointed with the tron legacy soundtrack, but throughout all the album, you realize that they are the best! oh yes

May 24, 2013Random Access Memories is not only Daft Punk's best work, it's the best thing to happen to music in over a decade. Perfection from start to finish. Having said that, this album is going to confuse the hell out of a lot people. It's not the album they were expecting. It's better.
-
May 25, 2013Beautifully made, the album is definitely made to listen in one straight go, not individually, something that has left music nowadays. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is open to new things from Daft Punk, not just a new EDM album, since it isnt made to be one.
-
May 25, 2013Daft Punk has said they dont like to do the same things twice. This album upholds their statement as this is different from Discovery and Tron. The album deserves a ten because you can tell by the intricacies of the songs. However, I completely despise the songs featuring Pharrell (Get Lucky and Lose Yourself to Dance). Also I did not enjoy the weird, almost scary sounds in Touch and Contact.

May 26, 2013for me every album of Daft Punk is a different journey... and this is one them. i dont realize how can people talk about negative things of the music trying to be objective, thats imposible... if you dont like it is because you want to listen something else, no Daft punk.
-
May 27, 2013AMAZING ALBUM!!! Daft Punk just smashed me up with so stunning and catchy sounds, funky, dancy, and easy to listening music make me feel very positive when album is plays. I'm amazed from thew first notes played on the first track. Best for me is: "get life back to music", "get lucky", "lose yourself to dance", "instant crush". Worth every penny you will spend for original CD. JUST GREAT.

May 30, 2013Random Access Memories is the best album of the year so far. This could be the album that really brings the electronic genre to mainstream. Every track on the album has great production behind it, and there's even some pretty good vocals and lyrics on the album.

Dec 17, 2014Nadie se copia de Daft Punk, su estilo es único, así como su forma de ver el House desde su perspectiva mas empírica, desde sus componentes musicales como la experimentación con sus raíces, la música disco, algo que sin duda hacen mejor que nadie en el mundo de la música House.
-
Jun 17, 2013Going back to the fast to make musical progressions in the future! I think Daft Punk really struck gold with this record: It's replay value is off the charts, it's catchy as hell, and gives off an authentic throwback vibe. Every song Great.

Jul 9, 2013Random Access Memories accomplishes everything it sets out to do. The beats, the melodies, the grooves, and every other sound on the album contribute toward Daft Punk's goal--to bring life back to music, on Guy-Man and Thomas's terms.
-
Jul 19, 2013Para mi Random Acces Memories es el mejor album de este año, con grandes canciones, una gran producción hacen que este album sea un deleite para nuestros oídos.

Jul 25, 2013Their magnum opus. Lush, interwoven sounds that make me feel really good. An artist that actually gives a damn about recording an album, not just a single.

Sep 18, 2013Daft Punk's greatest effort to date. Yes, you heard me correctly-- it's better than both Discovery and Alive 2007. It isn't even really close, either.
-
Oct 18, 2013Best and most creative work of Daft Punk. Instead of focusing on making futuristic music, back to the past, the genres of disco and electronica that was surely gave the album the innovative touch. Random Access Memories is not only the best album of the French duo's career, but also becomes the best album of the year.
-
Oct 8, 2013Every night before I go to bed I listen to a few songs from RAM. It has not ceased to blow my mind. I feel like it never gets old and I can't stop listening to it! Keep pumping out beats Daft Punk.

Jan 26, 2014A landmark album. It's experimental,cinematic, and plays like a history of dance music. Not to mention that all of the collaborations are nothing short of legendary. It geeks out the music nerds out there, and pleases the tweens with perfect tracks like "Get Lucky" (over 150 Million views on youtube now.)
-
Feb 14, 2014I never thought it would be possible to listen to such disco-sound-like brand new music in 2013.
Huge thanks to Daft Punk, Nile Rodgers and Pharrel Williams for this amazing and awesome album. -

Feb 22, 2014A perfect album from robot electronic duo Daft Punk. Better than Discovery, has less repetition. Daft Punk worked together great musicians like Nile Rodgers from Chic, Panda Bear, Julian Casablancas from The Strokes, Giorgio Moroder. RAM makes us feel like we are in 70s.
-
Mar 4, 2014I love the whole album. Our 2 robots associate perfectly many instruments to bring us the best tunes of the year 2013. I imagined that many tracks of this album will belong to the 25th future when the robots appear and gradually replace the human... Taste un cup of cafe while listening this album, so great
-
Aug 22, 2014Gets all a bit bloated sometimes. It is a great CD, the greatest of last year, just flawed. "Touch" should've been a single. And "Lose Yourself to Dance" is mediocre.

Mar 7, 2015It is smooth and sleek. It makes you want more. Get Lucky, Contact, Give Life Back to Music, Instant Crush and Giorgio by Moroder they are all awesome tracks. 10/10 Brilliant

Jun 9, 2015Truly one of the most amazing albums I've ever listened to and will continue to listen for years and years to come. It inspires greatness within the music industry, telling a story of adventure, love, sadness and discovery. I look forward to telling my future children and grandchildren the impact the music of my era had on me. this will be a masterpiece for generations without a doubt.
-
Jul 14, 2015I didn't listen the 70s and 80s music but when i heard this album and i got to know about that era and the music revolution in the old times, i was amazed and now i am a music producer. Every single song of this album is a masterpiece for me.

Jun 5, 2016My Oh My!. Daft Punk is my favourite electronic duo and this album represents who Daft Punk are. Not just one or two songs are the best. But every single song on this album are just awesome. I cannot even stop listening to them. They're literally the best.
-
Dec 30, 2017The best house album ever. I believe that this should be an art that will be considered as a musical classics.

Aug 13, 2022This is the greatest album of the 2010s, and possibly all time. It is the music and soundtrack from my childhood.
-
Sep 20, 2020Este sin duda alguna es el The Wall de nuestra era, de los mejores discos de la decada.
los maestros del loop nos demuestran que pueden hacer un gran album sin samples, con variados generos musicales, mas por el lado funk, es algo increible y muy dificil explicar el como este es de los mejores albumes, daft punk tiene el complejo de que cualquier album suyo es excelente. -
Nov 21, 2021this is one of my favorite albums of all time . it is very personal especially touch . this album is awesome
-
Sep 15, 2020One of the best albums of its decade, and at release the best album of this millenium. Absolutely sublime production and craftsmanship.
-
Mar 13, 2022At first i was underwhelmed by this album but after a good few listens it grew and it grew and it grew in my estimations finally entering the Pantheon of my all time favourites . A joyous ,melodic and just plain "Daft" set of wonderful tracks . Pitchforks decision to down grade it means they can go f*** themselves themselves

Feb 24, 2021RAM > Discovery any day.

Apr 11, 2022A masterpiece. The best electronic album I've ever heard. A perfect combination of fun pop numbers and fully realized emotional journeys, It will leave you crying joyfully on the dance floor.
There are no skip tracks, but the standouts (imo) are: Game of Love, Instant Crush, Touch, Doing it Right, and Beyond. -

Jun 19, 2013The french duo return after sitting back for seven years(not counting their score work for TRON: Legacy.) And they are back with a vengeance. With Random Access Memories, Daft Punk continues to show why they are the face of House music.
-
May 23, 2013This isn't what i expected. But in a good way. It hooked me in with it's nostalgic, yet modern feel. It's a look back, but very today. There are a couple slight misses, but as a whole, it is quite the sublime record. Looking for a hi-energy non stop all out dance record? This isn't it. Looking for a brilliant, retro-mod ride? Then pick this up.

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.
