as interesting/good as this album seems it will be, i'm starting to get SO TIRED of the media buildup and hype. every week there's a new tidbit leaked to pitchfork/FACT, .etc. i expect to read next about what font they used for the front cover.

btw, the may issue of GQ has a decent interview (in the US edition, anyway, not posted online).

i have a feeling i might get sick of hearing this at some point but right now it's destined to be a sweet summer jam.

bare BARE BONES
it's great till the "daft punky" vocodered bit near the end, wish they hadnt done that
great pop music otherwise

yeah, i'm on the fence about the vocorder, for better or worse it seems to be part of the package with them. despite the robot vocals, this does seem to be more of an organic guitar/bass/drums sound for them, though. a nice grove.

i think this video might be a loop/edit of the one-minute promo, i think a full four-minute version is now out.

i can't decide if this is totally bland or completely boring.

on the one hand it's very unoriginal, and on the other hand it's really lame.

500,000 Daft Punk "summer jams" is not worth 2 minutes of proper Congolese Rumba.

this stupid Western pop/dance music is rhythm depleted, brain retarded, and soul dead in comparison.

inferior in concept, inferior in design, inferior in execution.

greatly inferior in EVERY way.

listen to proper music, not rubbish.

people who like this song: have you no discerning ear what so ever??

it is a rehashed, sub par copy of a copy of a copy of a copy.

it's as if komar and melamid, the Russian artists who made "Most Wanted Art" from statistics made it:

"yeah lets take some generic funk guitar over a disco beat with some fake-soul vocals and make it shiny and a little electronic yeah! people will eat it up!"

it is the most formulaic, bland, so obvious it numbs the central nervous system load of BULL SHIT ever.

what the fuck is wrong with you people?

honestly.

ha...well I like it!

i don't think anyone's claiming it's the greatest, most authentic and valid example of a classic song. but it is a nice summer groove, however derivative and contrived it might be.

(also, that video is an edit, not the entire track.)

that's alright i guess. but seriously, african funk, african disco, african rock, african soul will always always always be exponentially more bad ass in every way than its afro-american counterpart.

i can't go back and listen to american disco any more. so boring.

it's like after driving a ferrari for 10 years and going back to your granny's station wagon -- it is a shitty feeling.

i believe in a two-song solution, both can co-exist peacefully alongside each other. :)
