[Vipershark]

Vipershark listens to Random Access Memories.

• Give Life Back to Music - Decent song. A little boring, but not a bad song. Not my favorite by any means. The talkbox is kinda annoying, but old school sound, I guess.
  
• The Game of Love - ...talkbox again? Relaxing enough. Not really an interesting song or anything, but it's good for something in the background when I need to concentrate, I guess.
  
• Giorgio by Moroder - "...but everybody calls me Giorgio." Okay, this is the Daft Punk I've been waiting to hear! Oh, this jazzy part is nice! "...there was no preconception of what to do." AND THEN A MASTERPIECE HAPPENS
  
• Within - More talkbox. This song is pretty relaxing, though. It's not bad.
  
• Instant Crush - This song was okay, I guess.
  
• Lose Yourself to Dance - More like Lose Yourself to ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. With a title like "Lose Yourself to Dance", I was expecting something along the lines of Robot Rock or One More Time (or at the very least Get Lucky) that I'd actually feel the urge to dance to, and not One Hit Wonder: The Song. COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON is right.
  
• Touch - I like this song. It's pretty cool. I like the part where the choir comes in.
  
• Get Lucky - Ugh. This song is not good. Pharrell's vocals are weak and the fact that this is the lead single of the album (and The Song of Summer 2013) is pretty pathetic. Boring. The synth part at the end is the only good part of the song.
  
• Beyond - THAT INTRODUCTION. More talkbox, but the introduction more than makes up for it. Otherwise, the song is just sorta okay.
  
• Motherboard - This song is pretty cool. Good background music for concentrating on work.
  
• Fragments of Time - Eh. Listenable, but boring.
  
• Doin' It Right - Is that an 808??????? This song actually sounds like a Daft Punk song! Doin' it right indeed!
  
• Contact - Cool song. Good background music.
  

I haven't heard Horizon, so no comment on that.

All in all I liked 6/13 and actively disliked 2/13 (both just happened to be Pharrell's songs, and I like Pharrell :/)
The rest were listenable but just okay.

I guess the album is decent, but it's no Discovery.
I want the funky electronic party Daft Punk back, but I guess expecting them to keep the same sound after 12 years is a bit much.
