My first thought was “why is that Paul McCartney album so popular now?” But then remembered we’re all still talking about Daft Punk

@wokeupnew hot take: I like McCartney’s album better
Turbo
Hot take: I don't.
GritNGlitter
@wokeupnew, @MikeH Me too.
Turbo
Bigger hot take: every single Daft Punk album is better than every McCartney solo record.
Turbo
(I may be open to consider that some early solo McCartney is better than Human After All)

You like them better =/= are better.
I mean, by what measure is a given album "better" than another of a totally different era and/or genre? To me, Daft Punk's stuff sounds like generic dance music grown in a corporate laboratory to sell shoes or personal electronics (which is why I didn't even know I knew a bunch of their work until yesterday), but that doesn't make it true.

(I'm not a big McCartney fan, just grouchy)
Turbo
@GritNGlitter it's a hot take, which is just as valid as all yours, sorry.
Turbo
(I'm grouchy too... I'm annoyed by all the disses against a band I like on the day we found out they are no more, so...)

@Turbo fair enough. I do like Daft Punk. But RAM, for me, is an album where their influences are worn on their sleeves so much to the point where I don't really know that they did anything new with it. I get why people like it. It's catchy and well-made, but it just made me want to listen to the artists that inspired them more than wanting to listen to RAM.

I didn't diss them until you provoked it 
But yeah, I'm sorry you're bummed, it's sad to hear a favorite artist won't be putting out any more albums. You just stumbled into something that bugs me all the time here: Liking or not liking does not correlate with good or bad.
