I like non-recurring event. Think I'll need to use that one to talk about my music now.

"my music is a non-recurring event..."
"thank god!"

is there ANY way this lives up to the hype? i'm not gonna lie, "get lucky" sounds incredible

Worried I'm just going to skip that track when the album actually comes out.

This is like an ILM poll rollout except the suspense is not enjoyable... jeez release the thing!!

You guys got me, the hype worked. Now let me go buy the album!
this is way more enjoyable than waiting for an ilm poll.

We could complete an ILM ballot poll on this album before the album arrives to fill time.

POLL THREAD: what will be the best song on random access memories?
POLL OPTIONS:

+1 -- this almost feels like Derek Taylor's campaign for Smile back in 1967, which promised to change the face of pop music. We all know how that turned out -- and as much as I'm a fan, I'm not convinced these guys have Brian Wilson's chops (tho they do pick great collaborators/samples).
What's it going to take for this to live up to the hype?
1. Some connection to their greatest moments (as indicated by the "Get Lucky" clips) but not so much that it's Discovery 2.0),
2. Somewhat related, development. Even if people didn't like Human After All or Tron Legacy, you at least had to acknowledge that they weren't just trading on past glories. As good as it sounds, this is what is potentially worrying about "Get Lucky."
3. Great songs. A differentiator for DP has been tunes -- "Digital Love," "Human After All," "One More Time," "Face to Face," etc. It makes them transcend into a pop act and appeal to a really wide variety of audiences.
What else?

hmmm i never thought about it that way, but i guess it would be good if this album had good music on it

GET FUNKY!
Serioulsy, there is no way this album can dissappoint, with Moroder, Edwards and Rodgers on board. Not after the all too human error that was 'Human After All'. This will fucking rule and I cannot wait.

Wow, Pharrell sounds really good on this! This album is going to be too big to fail. Moroder!!!

Yeah he really does. All these teasers and hype is just totally working on me, I can't remember the last time I was this excited about an album.

pretty sharp promotional move there. i mean, it seems kinda like an obvious thing to do in retrospect, but at the same time, i can't remember anyone running a big-ass ad in the middle of the biggest-ass festival and all those camera phones and twitterererers and whatnot. i dunno...i like it.

i'm taking a pascal's wager approach to this album... best-case scenario i'm happy and excited for the next month and then i have a wonderful new album... worst-case scenario i'm happy and excited and then i'm kinda bummed out. if i'm wary about it, i'll probably be the same level of bummed out anyway. so i will take th emonth of excitement either way.
