The Record Crate

I figured we’d start this train off on a low note and let the beat build sufficiently after the fact. Without using words, I’ll give you a hint:

It’s hard for me to write this, just as it’s probably hard for those of you who haven’t heard anything from this album (other than “Derezzed”) to accept this as the absolute truth. Sorry Charlie, but this was a complete abomination of an album and the true musical representation of “we were lied to.” I’m not quite sure who to blame for this.

One the one hand it’s Daft Punk’s fault. They knew exactly what we all were waiting for. I also am a firm believer that they knew what they were making wasn’t exactly Daft Punk music. Which is why it’s hard for me to see this as a Daft Punk album. This is a textbook Disney soundtrack that was merely produced by two guys who happened to make one of the (if not the) biggest contributions to the electronic music scene ever. I would have rather this album have been put out as a soundtrack that featured the French duo.

On the other hand, it’s Disney’s fault. But you know what? Good for them. They knew how badly the general public wanted this album to hit hard. They knew that adding the Daft Punk name to their movie’s aura would boost revenue. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, I never buy a ticket to anything connected to Disney again. Guess I’ll never get to see Beauty and the Beast on ice for the 5th time after all… 

But hey, I gotta look on the bright side of things: at least I didn’t spend ten dollars to hear music I could skip over in my iTunes. There is nothing else I can do now, but reluctantly hand over the award. There you have it Daft Punk. You are CERTIFIED GOLD the Biggest Letdown of 2010.
