I am the Brainwasherrrrrrrrrr

I think I'm addicted to 'Daft Punk - The Brainwasher'. It rules.

Shame about the rest of the album really, it took them four years to get around to recording an it, and they only took two weeks over it. And it shows. They seem to use same lo-fi and phaser effects on EVERTHING, which makes all the synths sound like the musical equivalent of treacle, and the vocoder-ed "vocals" just sound shite for some reason.

With 'Discovery' the songs were repetitive, but addictive at the same time. 'Human after all' is full of boring "skip me" type filler that starts alright, but goes nowhere and just gets annoying after a while.

Bleh... their videos still rule, however.

And I like Robot Rock.

And robots = great.

I want to be a robot when I grow up.

  You should listen to 'Ima Robot'.
  
  Yes, they are actually as good as their name.

    I've only heard "Alive" and it made me smile. Good chorus

    Yeah, my brother got "Human After All" and I have to say it does my head in a bit. I mean, you expect that kinda stuff to be built on repitition / development but this is just stupid - i.e. the same two bars over and over and over and over again for five minutes.
    
    Which is a shame, because I thought "Discovery" wasn't bad.

      i think it's ruined by the fact that it's the laziest sampling ever.
      
      if anyone doesn't know the original, it's Breakwater's "Release the Beast". Download it.

        Well, and the obligatory phaser of course. Unless that was on there already.
        
        Bah can't find it on soulseek yet, only one bloke with 668 qued. Don't want to open limewire *shudder*.

        on there already!
        
        i think they've just touched up the bass and added "RO-BOT ROCK!" on top. Even the intro is nicked.
