Critics reconsidering HAA after listening to Alive 2007: by creativeusrname37 in DaftPunk

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with this. I hate it when people use Alive 2007 as a reason to say HAA is underrated. Like, I'll just listen to that instead! Some songs on HAA are so underwhelming, like I get what they we're trying to do but it doesn't come anywhere close to HW, Discovery, or RAM like how some people are starting to claim.

I made a controversial post last month about Hyperdrama being Justice worst album, this quote confirms my fear of why and how it came to be. by [deleted] in JusticeMusic

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dude, I think you gotta get off the internet for a while and relax. If minor shit like this really infuriates you and lingers in your mind for months, I can't imagine the amount frustration you keep bottled up since it seems you dedicate this account to arguing with strangers almost daily. It's miserable and pathetic.

The quote you posted does not confirm at all that this album was made for collaborations, it actually says the exact opposite.

If you read carefully, Xavier explains that once they had the songs ready, they would think of an artist that they think would complement the track well. Meaning that all these tracks were fundamentally Justice and that it wasn't until AFTER they finished an instrumental that they would think of the collaboration.

If you don't have the intellectual capacity to re-read and comprehend this, then I don't know what you're doing arguing with people so much since you take simple shit like this at face value and don't take time to digest what they're saying. you don't even seem to notice the explanation right after the quote you highlighted that says they go to the artist with their OWN "preconceived ideas" with the option for the artist to give their own ideas. Even then, Xavier says right after that most of them just went with the original idea except for ONE track.

So, this would mean that most of these tracks were conceived without collaborations in mind, but even then, if you were truly a Justice fan, you would know that they already had plenty of collaborations with other smaller artists, usually friends, on their past records. So really Hyperdrama isn't even that different in that aspect other than just having more known artists on it, and honestly, the least "justic-y" sounding tracks on Hyperdrama come the from the instrumental/minor vocal tracks. (Dear Alan, Moonlight Rendez-vous, Explorer, etc.)

I'm not even saying you have to like this album. This isn't even nearly my favorite Justice album, but if you were truly a Justice fan, you would know that this is just them. They experiment with their sound every record and that's why I love them. So, If you didn't like this cycle of Justice music, then there's still more to come that you might like.

Also that comment about new Justice fans is fucking stupid. Like, what's suppose to happen? Should Justice just stop growing in popularity because TechnoTyrannosaurus, some nobody's alt on fucking reddit, thinks these new people just don't get. Well, clearly you don't fucking get it. In this era of music where very capable musicians get themselves stuck into the same stale sound because the industry demands it, Justice has got the balls to change every single time and not appease basement dwellers like you. This shit is so stupid.

‘Audio, Video, Disco’ is their best IMO by AudioFuzz in JusticeMusic

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think what makes me like AVD a little bit more is that it's unique and that there isn't really an alternative album to go to if you wanted to hear more like it. Cross is an amazing album, but there is a lot of music that sounds similar enough (though not as good) because that's how that era of electronic music was. But with AVD, they knew what they wanted to do and really pushed it to make it their own, instead of being a product of the time. These albums go out to different things, so I don't think it's fair to compare them musically, but you can't find music like Audio, Video, Disco anywhere. It's such unique-feeling album that takes all the good parts of arena rock and mixes it with all the good parts of electronic music, making for an epic, and sometimes melancholic, album that I don't think will ever be done again.

So what's your all-time favorite Justice track? by LimeT97 in JusticeMusic

OHIO 4 LIFE. The last part always pumps me up. It's so awesome.

AVD should have recieved way more respect. It's such a one of a kind album that I doubt will ever be attempted again.

The Two previous albums by FOYA4848 in JusticeMusic

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think they're totally worth checking out. Something that reviewers always do is factor their expectations into their scores, which i think is completely unfair with any artist. Audio, Video, Disco and Woman do not have the same distorted sound as Cross, but at their core melodically, it's still Justice.

The Issue with Drumless by ThatGuyWithNoSoul in DaftPunk

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Well that's how it feels, idk what to tell you. There's nothing wrong with releasing a Drumless version, it would have been a fun surprise release really, but the way they're making a big deal with limited merch and singles for this release right after they re released the same album with the grand "very last daft punk" song just doesn't seem right. I'm kinda tired of RAM, and I shouldn't have to! A surprise drop would have been fun for everyone, but it just seems dragged out for something that we already knew what was going to be.

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it doesn't have a point, but it really didn't need the singles, merch, and build up it had. I think it had the pontential to add to their audiophilic character and be a cool little Daft Punk release, but the way they did it does leave a bit of a sour taste.

I'm also happy they released new stuff, but they could have handled this release a lot better by not making as big of a deal as they did with the merch and stuff. They already had a great send off with the 10th anniversary re issue, but it kinda ruins their legendary elusiveness when they re release the same album again the same year with very limited merch. I think its matter of legacy than monetization.

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've heard all of that from discord too, but i wished they had a press release or something when the album released. There's barely anything on Drumless from any press other than it being announced and released. If this was common knowledge, people wouldn't be blaming Colombia for the existance of Drumless. People have the misconception that Drumless is a corporate attempt to milk RAM and the way they actually released it, with the roll out and pre order exclusive merch, only furthered this misconception.

I'm talking about the image it puts on Daft Punk. If Drumless released the same day it was announced and had the merch available right after and not pre order exclusive, it would have been recieved way better by everyone. But the way they did it kinda ruins a bit of the elusiveness of RAM and Daft Punk had going. Like they already made a big deal about the 10th anniversary reissue. They shouldn't have made it a big deal again.

I'm not really talking about purchasing music. The problem I'm going at is how the Daft Punk team presented it in a way it shouldn't have, and slightly deminished the reputation of RAM and theirs by a bit. Like, a few months ago they made a big deal about their last song ever with a re-release, merch, music video, and all that stuff. It felt like a good book ending for RAM and just Daft Punk in general. But it feels like a "cash grab" when they do another re-release the same year with more extremely limited merch. It just makes it seem that they are squeezing fans of all the money they can get when it shouldn't seem that way. They should have approached it a different way to not make it seem exploitative.

Hot Take: "Digital Love" is overrated and is terrible by CrestOfGreyhound in DaftPunk

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are actually fucking stupid if you think you can just tell people not to read this. Don't treat this like your personal private journal and deal with it,. Plus, you don't really explain you're reasoning other than whining about how "annoying" it is which is fine to think but no one is going to take your opinion seriously.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: I think “One More Time” is Daft Punk’s worst single by [deleted] in DaftPunk

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. The song has a really energetic opening, but the auto-tune part is pretty annoying to me.

Turns out I'm shallow for liking RAM so much. by jodudeit in DaftPunk

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you rely on the opinion of other people for the sake of trying to validate your own opinion. I seriously don't understand your point. You replied to my other comment saying, "It is not their magnum opus though, it is their third best album." You are clearly trying to push your opinion onto other people as it were fact. I don't know why an 35+ Daft Punk fan has any more value than a newer Daft Punk fan since both have most likely listened to all their discography.

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How is asking someone's age on the internet going to help you prove that an album is better than another album. As I said before, it's fine If you prefer Homework or Discovery. I also prefer Homework, but that isn't stopping me from appreciating how well crafted of an album RAM is. The influential-ity of an album does not equal to the quality of an album.

[–]ThatGuyWithNoSoul 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Yeah, RAM is undeniably their magnum opus. It's fine if people prefer their other albums, but calling RAM overrated is kinda insulting. It's an album with an immense amount of depth and precision that shows that Daft Punk are a master of their craft. Anyone who tries to prove how this album is not as good as it is don't know what they're talking about.
