This album was a huge let down. They made this big hoopla about how it was 'so expensive to make' because of the amazing talent like Julian Casablancas they brought into the studio, and they made something no one wanted to listen to. The sales tell part of the story: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/11/random-access-memories-sales-drop-daft-punk-album_n_3420552.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/11/random-access-memor... And they tell some of the rest of it: "The thing we can ask ourselves at some point is like: We're making music for 20 years. How many bands and acts do you have that are still making good music after 20 years? It always sucks - almost always, you know?" Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo concluded: "So our new album is supposed to really suck." http://www.mtv.co.uk/news/daft-punk/381428-daft-punk-new-album-sucks http://www.mtv.co.uk/news/daft-punk/381428-daft-punk-new-alb... When it comes down to it they squandered amazing talent like Julian Casablancas, Pharell and Nile Rodgers to give history lessons on electronic music. The album would have been better if it had been released as a mixtape with no marketing at all.
