DrMabuse 0 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I kinda liked Daft Punks first 2 cds, if only in the car. Their new one is getting slaughtered though in many places. eg >>>>> LCD Soundsystem's recent single Daft Punk Is Playing at My House was witty confirmation of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo's unique hipster cachet. But LCD Soundsystem may wish they'd chosen another talisman of cool once they hear Human After All. Apparently knocked off in just six weeks, Daft Punk's third album sounds like it took six days. Six short days. With long lunches. When these tracks were leaked onto the internet in January, some fans assumed they were bogus, and they do indeed sound like the work of lacklustre imposters. Previous album Discovery had its flaws but at least its ultra-brite MOR homages showed vision. Human After All simply recycles a handful of familiar production tics - vocoders, processed rock guitars, snub-nosed beats - to the point of inanity. Apart from the title track's euphoric burble-and-grind and The Brainwasher's acid-house villainy, Human After All is a joyless collection of average ideas stretched desperately thin. If Daft Punk played this at your house, you'd chuck them out. Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Is it true that The Killers named themselves after the band that were pretending to be New Order in the New Order "crystal" single video? Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I read that somewhere. Good idea from NO there (they probably just didn't want to turn up themselves) Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 A compilation called Unbelievable, a friend sent it over to me recently. There's loads of Madchester songs and the like on there (Happy Mondays, Inspirals, James, Farm, Smiths, etc). Lots of memories in there. Link to post Share on other sites
69 5 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'm into Kasabian at the moment. Tons of stuff, some good stuff listed in this thread, cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'm loving Queens of the Stone Age's new album at the mo (as Rach previously mentioned). These guys can do no wrong in my eyes. Also the Futureheads ain't bad either. Been a bit out of the loop lately music wise. Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'm listening to some older stuff at the moment. The last few days has been a real mixed bag. Eurythmics, Faithless, Garbage first album (really like that one) Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 New Garbage cd is (sadly) not a return to form. Heard that the new Coldplay is going to be interesting. They apparently are going a bit more electronic sounding than before, even sampling some Kraftwerk. (Or maybe that was an Aprils fool!) Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Have heard 5 of the new Coldplay songs, a friend went to a recent gig where they played them. Sounded good. Not as different as people seem to be saying, sounds like Coldplay maybe a bit darker (?) From what I've heard the Kraftwerk thing is not an actual sample, just using the same riff on a guitar.
