I thought Get Lucky’s quality was more a reflection of Pharrell and Rogers’ talent than DP. The rest of that album was a whiff.
That said, GL the song and video were great and no hiding the string of classics. I remember hearing Around the World on the radio for the first time and pulling my car over. I was in high school.
A few notes on this video:
1. I wonder if this was delayed due to the bomber in Nashville. Still seems almost too soon.
2. Obviously has black rock vibes, looks like one continuing on to the mythic show at the trash fence.
3. Suggests one member wanted to keep daft punk going, where the other had enough. Otherwise I would have expected a mutually assured destruction.
The symmetric hands around the dates suggest amicable closure prior to conflict of ruin, which would be for the best in any partnership.
- coldpie 6y ago> The rest of that album was a whiff Aww. It's no Discovery, but I quite like RAM. More than Human After All, anyway. "Contact" and "Giorgio" in particular are stand out tracks to me.
- bredren 6y agoI tried to get into the Giorgio tracks. Certainly appreciated the nod but the album was marketed as a banger and felt left in a lurch apart from GL. Fwiw, I felt set up by the early marketing hype on the tractor-trailers in Japan, which I thought inaccurately portrayed what was to come.
- RangerScience 6y agoWord is that their manager has stated that the annual Trash Fence show is the only thing that'll continue, as it always has.
- jordanthoms 6y agoHah, Get Lucky is the only song I skip on the album, overplayed for me.
