*This* is the exact reason I wanted to fight the people who bullied me throughout school who said that there was "something wrong with me" if Daft Punk was my favorite artist. Everything they make goes SO much deeper than what the majority of people hear. I am a choir girl who was classically trained and will forever be a music nerd whose favorite genre is house music. Those two concepts seem completely opposite (human vs robot) but they actually make more sense together if you examine further (Daft Punk). Also, it makes me feel better that they got their name from a "bully" music critic. They made something truly beautiful out of it

Thanks for doing this and explaining WHY it’s a masterpiece. I feel like it’s so underrated EVEN though it won Grammys, it’s still underrated. It’s so conceptually deep yet accessible so I feel like people don’t get past the first layer. They aren’t just playing you songs, they’re TELLING you a story through music. It’s sharing a journey

Right?!? I NEVER thought this album told a story like Discovery did!

Biggest Daft Punk fan here (and absolutely freaking love your channel, it is always gold). Amazing take on that masterpiece! Very good references, soundtrack choice, and very knowledgeable input as usual. A few more cool anecdotes: 1) Horizon (the Japanese Bonus Track), uses Machine Drums at first and then transitions into organic Drums in the middle of the track. 2) I've always felt like Contact was their spaceship launching (pretty obvious metaphor) and Horizon was them floating in space. 3) Giorgio Moroder, when seeing the 3 microphones from 3 different eras in the Studio, reportedly (from his own admission) asked the sound engineer: "Who the hell will hear the difference between the 3 microphones". The sound engineer answered: "Oh, nobody! But they will." ("They" being Daft Punk, obviously). 4) Pharell came up with the lyrics from Get Lucky's hook while tipsy/drunk: he was tired from the jet lag. 5) Human After All was made in a rush (a few weeks), based on the famous dystopian novel 1984 by George Orwell (Bangalter's words IIRC). It was meant to represent the fear of Technology (hence the purposeful rush in creating the album). 6) The people at NASA were reportedly super stoked to share samples with the Robots. 7/ The 1 million it cost to record RAM was self-financed by the band, so they had no obligation to release anything. 8/ They recorded the sound of a busy restaurant by placing microphones in front of the forks of a group of people and the effect of dripping water recorded on a soundstage. 9/ Give Life Back to Music is the first track for a reason: When RAM was released, Bangalter and Guy-Man went on tour in French radios, explaining that they were tired of "Electronic Music consisting of remixes of remixes of remixes" and wanted to go back to something "more organic". RAM is also a way to give organic material to sample for future generations of musicians: a way to pay it back. 10/ On that note, after RAM was released, Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington (the band DARKSIDE) recorded an entire Remix Album of RAM, under the name of Daft Side. It's called "Random Access Memories Memories". "Beyond" and "Give Life Back to Music" from them are two of my favorite all-time Daft Punk remixes: Beyond is very Pink Floydish/trippy. An LSD trip under the milky way in the desert. if "Pink Floyd and Daft Punk had a child", it's that song. Give Life Back to Music is very experimental but hands-down the BEST EARGASM I've ever had. I'd pay good money to live that first time again, but beware: - You need to put on good headphones and close your eyes. - Keep the volume as up as you can humanly handle. - The first part is purposefully overly saturated. It's normal, it's uncomfortable, it will be painful. But you need that first part to enjoy the second. - DON'T turn the volume down before the drop. Go through these 2 minutes and 52 seconds of pain and discomfort. It's worth it. Trust me. You'll thank me later: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJuVpbCAipXdeqQ.html

Holy shit, I really underappreciated Random Access Memories back when I was in high school. Few days ago, I rediscovered Daft Punk again and listened to their whole discography excluding Tron ones, and I really really adore them now. RAM for me was a bit weird since it includes a lot of "natural instruments" and "human voices" as you say, but when you say they're sampling humans, it just clicked. And you took an 8/10 album for me into goddamn MASTERPIECE.

I thought they did an excellent job scoring Tron, but I never found the music all that enjoyable to listen to on its own.

This video demonstrates that this album is more than just really well recorded groovy funky and soulful music, but it's a journey of humanity and emotions, has a wonderful arc, and has a wonderful lesson in learning to just let go and be free and alive. The album and this analysis has touched me deeply. You could say it opened the door behind the door. Thank you.

This channel has the best music history dives I've found. Shit I've wanted to know about for years, and a ton of stuff I never knew I wanted to know.

RAM is a absolute classic of an album and you totally matched it's greatness with your analysis!

Their love of "Phantom of the Paradise" runs so deep. Referencing "legend of the Phoenix" and bringing in Paul Williams feels like a culmination of their passion for the film.

When was 13 I suddenly realized I loved music but had no idea what genre I like. Aerodynamic was my first "favourite" song ever. I regard it as finding my musical path! It's like they sent me on it ❤

And I can't get off my mind that the frenchiest vibe of the album is definitely "touch"... If love is the answer then how could they not think about the place they grew up in ? Music is the way to hold on to these past feelings. The random access to these memories. Gives me the goosebumps each time I ear it.

I love the drums in the last album so much that when they announced they were releasing the Drumless edition, I was like, what?? I hated the idea. I gave it a try. And now I understand why they did it. Everything is so clear and the quality is top notch. The fact that they decided to retire is heartbreaking, they are such geniuses.

This is one of my favorite albums, but I didn't realize how conceptual this album was. Great in depth video!

I have always told people that this album is my favorite. Every time someone asks out of all the good music out there. THIS. stands out. You breaking it down like this now…man. 10/10 album 10/10 video. Thank you

@18:30 I was 17 a year after the release of 'Homework', and was the lone "techno" fan in a sea of rock and hip/hop fans, arguing that Daft Punk was the future of music and getting heaps of shit for the effort. Most of the bands that my friends would have claimed at the time to be the future of music were gone shortly after, and none of them, 100 years from now, will be known and remembered and will have their music still be remixed the way Daft Punk will. They will go down in musical history as one of the greatest ever, thank you for this truly excellent video on their work.

Dude, the Rock With You drum thing you did with your tongue. What the f***. That's an amazing party trick. (I guess it's not that hard, but it's surprising and I laughed.)

I believe De La did a similar approach to creating their last album. They had musicians jam and then sampled the jam sessions.

man oh man... digging the greats, you are doing more for sampling, hip-hop and wider music culture than any other channel i've seen on this platform. When im running low on inspiration I listen to one of your deconstructions and you immediately remind me how beautiful and emotionally compelling music can be. Keep it up man, big love

One of the best albums of all time to me - and this channel is criminally underrated for the way you understand and break down the technical and emotional sides of great music. A+ keep it up!

this was an amazing vid Brandon. I was swept away by this album when it came out in 2013 - it hit me at just the right time in life. can't say I was a huge fan of DP before this album so it sort of came across my path when a friend recommended it to me on a whim because of the 70s and 80s undercurrent that ran through the songs. A decade later and I still find myself falling in love with this album over and over again but now I have an idea WHY. Truly an immense piece of work, it's interconnectivity and subtext is so subtle that it doesn't disturb the sonic journey that a casual listener would be on, it's just there to encourage you to look a little bit deeper.

Hell yeah. This came out during one of my hardest breakups and it always felt really appropriate for that part of my life. Such a great album. Amazing breakdown!

Great overview of each track, but I'm surprised you didn't mention the title. RAM is an abbreviation used in computers for "Random Access Memory", but in Daft Punk's world, they use random bits of their favorite songs as samples.

I miss videos like yours, so we can praise the albums we already love even more. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us

I couldn't put it into words why this is my favorite album ever but you just did. This is a great video, well done!

this video just blew my mind. thank you so much for working so hard putting all that information together. i’d love to see more of this for other DP albums.

Man. You are just the greatest. You’re a true musicologist. I just have so much respect and admiration for you brother. Every video I watch I think “me and this dude would be real good friends.”

I’m super happy to be able to listen to it whenever I’d like, though it’s very bitersweet knowing that this is likely the last Daft Punk album ever. I’d love a sequel.

I break down every time I listen to this album, and once again broke down while watching this. Thank you for this video ❤

this is one of your best videos. thank you so much

Loved this album from start to finish; having this album on my phone I played it more than almost anything else I own. And it's good EVERY time. Like your favorite movie you can't get enough of. I never got the comments about it fairing off from what they where. The journey they were trying to portray was so obvious to me. And even if you didn't got that the whole vibe of it is amazing; the build up of every song, the story each song has in it, the sound effects that lead up to it. I remember putting the album on the morning after a good party with everybody slowly waking up; half of the people where floating away on it, the other half just didn't get it.. Which is fine, it doesn't need to be for everybody. Thank you for such a amazing break down of the album, came here from your similarly amazing break down of "discovery". Subscribed!

After this breakdown, amazing job, btw. I gotta go back and re-listen to this whole album.

This is an awesome Master Class! Thank you professor! Made me enjoy and appreciate more my favorite band.

This is an incredible cover of this album. I listened to it again immediately and it shed so much more light on this album and its absolutely magical. Great video!
