Hey, the thread about that band from the list isn't working for me 🀷

Could someone please write a decent introductory post? I'm just not feeling up to it right now 😒

The "new" album is actually pretty goodβ€”I mean, it’s definitely not badβ€”but if I ever ran into Daft Punk while grabbing coffee downtown, I'd love to tell them that I'd really prefer a dark, moody album... you know, something more along the lines of dark ambient techno, okay? πŸ˜‰

And this is basically what their discography looks likeβ€”sort of like an ELP collection:

And honestly, this whole thing feels just as quirky and eclectic as the place they call home:

it's also pretty famous for

as well as

and, quite frankly, for

plus, I have to say, its reputation for

which just goes to showβ€”you really can't go wrong with anything coming out of Scotland πŸ‘

Their latest record is basically just a textbook case of what happens when you start getting too deep into acid trips on a regular basis 🀷 honestly, I’m not exactly blowing any mental notes over it 🀷
though... if we're being real, saturate is πŸ‘, and let's be honest, the ----- side is way too good πŸ™‚, whereas the second disc is absolute garbage 🀷

Aside from all that, when I look at my all-time top 10, πŸ™‚ are straight-up gods of mixing; their sound is just massive, almost impossible to put into words πŸ™

It actually kills me a little that I missed seeing them live back in '97 😳

And yeah, working with Michel Gondry, they managed to craft the greatest music videos ever made πŸ™‚

I honestly don't think I'll ever wrap my head around how they managed to film the music video for 😬
.
For me, one of the absolute standout videos has to be BeyoncΓ©, because that sheer sense of paranoia is just πŸ™‚unmatched

First off, they aren't from Scotlandβ€”they're Britons. And second, they're easily my favorite electronic act, even if they did soften up a bit on their latest record (which is pretty much what happens with every artist in that genre).

I saw them perform live in San Francisco; they are absolutely wild. Before I pass away, I would love to experience them one more time. It is truly a singular experience.

I might as well go all out since the damage is already done...

They’re absolutely incredible, honestly, but it’s kind of a shame because their absolute best tracks aren't even the ones you hear playing in every single club or on every radio station out there.

The absolute best tracks they have are the ones most people haven't even heard ofβ€”stuff like Lemonade, Not Another Drugstore, (Best part of) breaking up, and all those Electronic Battle Weapon releases.

It’s honestly pathetic how people judge Chemicals based solely on Hey Boy Hey Girl, or Block Rockin' Beats, or God forbid, Galvanize...

If you actually want to appreciate Daft Punk, you need to dive into their entire discography instead of just sticking to the radio hits.

Well said! πŸ™

Personally, I find Galvanize pretty terrible.

Personally, I think Galvanize is garbage.

Look, Galvanize was a solid track once, but honestly? It’s totally played out now.

The whole Surrender album is absolutely top-tier. I think "Dig Your..." from their Chase Bank era is one of my absolute favorites...
As for the rest of their discography, there's a lot of good stuff, but two of the albums just don't do it for me. Maybe a couple of tracks here and there...

I don't know what to tell you. Sometimes things just fall apart. You try to make sense of it, you try to find some logic in the chaos, and you end up exactly where you started: staring at nothing. It’s frustrating. I’m probably just overthinking it, but that's usually my problem anyway. Just one of those days where everything feels slightly off. kaΕΎe:
And yeah, they teamed up with Gondry to make the absolute best music videos out there. πŸ™‚

That’s for sure. Maybe he’s actually my best bet for... Out of ControlHonestly, what kind of joke is this? They completely botched it. Do It Again πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ‘ Where the hell is Star Guitar?

In my opinion, Daft Punk has the best music videos of any band out there, mostly thanks to directors like Gondry and Dom & Nica.

Unknown 😁

A rumor started floating around about a month ago suggesting the venue would actually be the municipal stadium over in Key West.
