Reply to A series of Facebook reactions to the new Daft Punk Album

I wouldn't in anyway go so far as to call this a review. It's re-ordered so you don't have to read it backwards.

Ok, back to this Daft Punk Album - which is annoying the b@lls off me. In places it's generic, lazy and self-indulgent and then just as you go to stop it: HOLY SH1TB@LLS that was fantastic! Rinse and repeat. Grrrrr....

Dear Daft Punk,

My notes so far:

1. I don't like anything with a vocoder - it's wank - stop using it.
2. Those horrible guitars made me hate you last time - know it can make me hate you again.
3. Adding a voice-over track from a famous synth god is great - IF I WANTED TO LISTEN TO A F&CKING DOCUMENTARY!
4. Yes your key changes and arpeggios are well placed but if I didn't know it was Daft Punk I'd just assume that it was some knock off bargain bin Walmart chill-out complication.
5. Putting big orchestral strings in a track is a cheap trick - it's like putting boobs in a movie: that bit might be great but doesn't mean the rest of it is any good.

The Pharrell track was pretty good.

Pharrell: Mate, how much did they force you to dial back your talent? For God's sake - don't let Bangalter ever get hold of the Despicable Me sound track...

I believe this album would be worth an extra $1.50 on top of the current retail price if they'd just remove the annoying throwback synth noodlings and other fill -ins from albums past. Oh, and in case I haven't mentioned it, ENOUGH WITH THE VOCODER!

According to the track-listing I'm at Motherboard: This track needs re-examining on some proper headphones later.

Motherboard: hands-down the best track on the album so far.

followed by some Wham - Club Tropicana BS.
- I shouldn't say BS - Club Tropicana was a fine record.
