I finally got a chance to sit down and listen to the new album: Random Access Memories. And while I loved it as I do with all of their albums, something was a bit different this time.

By that I mean that their style was great, but some tracks in this one seemed a bit lackluster compared to their other work.

NOW, before you freak out about me saying that, I said, "compared to their other work".

This means that it was still beautifully composed as all of their opuses have been.

As usual, the album had some great tracks that you fall in love with, as well as a few that you didn't feel live up to your expectations. I won't say which I felt were those tracks, but I'll let you decide for yourself.

Now, I personally loved almost every track on here, but you'll notice the "vibe" on a few of them are a bit different. Most of the tracks this time are a different take on EDM. This time, using real musicians instead of tracks that have been laid out beforehand.

I also found that "Lose Yourself to Dance" sounded a bit like The Bee Gees. So if you like that 70's/Bee Gee tone, you'll enjoy this track as it stands out a bit from their normal tone.

And as you wrap up the Album, you are left with "Contact". Which ends in a strange way (but clever) as the track begins to sound unearthly like if you were to discover an unearthly race on another world and lose quote unquote, "contact".

So many people have been giving this album a hard time, but I personally like this one as much as any album they have put out. It is different, and breaks their boundaries a bit.

On my scale:

This Album: 8.5/10 Still Lovable.
