Discovery is pretty much where it's at for me. While RAM seems like it's trying to recapture that feeling it just falls short in my opinion.
I feel like it was a good successor to Discovery. Not as good, but Discovery was near perfection and a tough act to follow. I liked it more than Human After All at least.

So far, I've only heard the single, Get Lucky. I am a fan. I'll most likely get the album, as it does strike some chords with me on how similar it is to Discovery. Also, Pharrell does not age and he was a great choice to lay vocals on a track for DP.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one that liked HAA.

RAM Launches tomorrow! Woo hoo! Pumped! I won't be receiving the album until the 28th-3rd but it just makes me even more pumped.

I pre-ordered it off Amazon awhile ago. It and a couple games should be showing up shortly.

It can't be worse than human after all. It has also had a pretty positive reception with the critics and allot of the fan base. I may check it out. Definitely don't think it will top discovery though.

Wait... People don't like Human After All? I really enjoyed that Album. :|
Listened to a bit of this new one, and I want to vomit everywhere. No thanks.

I despise human after all. It was recorded in two weeks for gods sake. It sure sounds like it. Every song feels underdeveloped and like they needed a whole lot more time with it. The amazing live versions of the human after all cuts makes up for it. Almost. I mean really, Alive 2007 is the only Daft Punk album I absolutely must have.

RAM is a fun album, but when it misses it misses hard. So far my favorite three tracks are:
1. Instant Crush
2. Get Lucky
3. Giorgio by Morode

I would rank Contact as number 2, but the last part where it just ramps up the noise, that was unneeded.
