Critic Reviews Daft Punk's best album in a career that's already redefined dance music at least twice. It is, in short, a mind-blower.Their return should be heralded from on high, because it is the boldest, smartest, most colourful and purely pleasurable dance album of this decade.At first, it's hard to know what to make of all the fromage, but Random Access Memories reveals itself as the kind of grand, album rock statement that listeners of the '70s and '80s would have spent weeks or months dissecting and absorbingBy assembling a cast of their favourite musicians and delving into their adolescent memories, Daft Punk have created something as emotionally honest as any singer-songwriter confessional – and a lot more fun to dance to. This is the most immediate, instant, analysis-proof record you could hope to hear.This is the album on which Daft Punk are truly and convincingly "human after all." And on this toweringly grand achievement, they've never sounded better.Daft Punk have not only made a career-defining album, but the smartest dance album since disco. It took exuberance, painstaking detail, and wide-eyed nostalgia for Daft Punk to create Random Access Memories, their best.It’s a headphones album in an age of radio singles; a bravura live performance that stands out against pro forma knob-twiddling; a jazzy disco attack on the basic house beat; a full collaboration at a time when the superstar DJ stands alone.'Random Access Memories' is ... an album in the proper sense of the word; these aren't thirteen dancefloor ready bangers, it's a grandiose statement of intent.The album ... is a simple reminder of the things that we like about Daft Punk, it’s the perfect album for your late night disco musings, and robotic love making.Something that channels the past but sounds like little else right now, an album
