My God, it has been 10 years?!? I still remember like it was yesterday... album of the year was being given out. Alicia Keys finished up saying the nominees, including Taylor Swift's Red. A reaction camera was fixed on each of the artists nominated. As soon as Keys said "Rrrr" Swift's crew started to stand, then the three best words of the night came out of Alicia's mouth: "Rrrrandom Access Memories!" The look of disappointment on Swift's producers is something I will always remember and cherish. Those old f**ks' became so salty and seem to care about the winner of the Grammy. The only person who was applauding was Taylor. It was glorious.

I was feeling schadenfreude toward the label executives from Big Machine Recods and the other greedy dudes behind the scenes who were literally sitting behind Taylor Swift that night.

Honestly, this album was so good it’s no wonder they decided to break up. In their later years, you can see how much they tried (and succeeded) to push new and interesting sounds in the EDM and house space. I don’t think they knew where to go from RAM and decided to let future artists lead the way. They’ve done their job, long live Daft Punk

[@jordanwardan7588]

dont forget all the production work they did afterwards esp all over the weeknd starboy RAM and like the other two disco singles demonstrated that crazy new "retro" sounds could be adopted by the suits to make money leading to a full decade of reexamining what made real synths and real instruments so appealing in the first place in the "mainstream" and all over the underground

[@nicedream92]

The transition from Contact to Horizon is perfection

[@BobbyGadgePart2]

I remember there being like a limited podcast series coming up to the release of RAM. There was one where Giorgio Moroder talked about walking into the studio to record his lines for the song, it was just him and the recording engineer and he saw three microphones. One was from the 70s one was from the 80s and one was a modern microphone. He asked why he was recording the different parts of the song into different microphones and the recording engineer said that that's what Daft Punk wanted. Giorgio asked if anyone would notice and the recording engineer said "the listener probably won't but they (Daft Punk) will." I might be misremembering this but it's something that's stuck with me about the album.

Went to my normal open mic night, then to Atlanta with a buddy for a stand up competition. Didn't get home until 11 am the next day. I laid in bed ready to pass out but opened Facebook and saw the announcement for RAM. Such a nice and vivid memory. Such a great album

[@GreekHouseEffect]

I was 15 back then and I vividly remember following the campaign for the album with huge excitement: the short promotional clips, the little excerpts of Get Lucky, the interviews with the featured artists. I have such nostalgia for that time of my life. It was fine by itself, but that genuine excitement for music really complimented it.

[@lonersdreamworld]

i love how throughout the album they use this theme of making robotic voices sound extremely human. that statement alone lets the album speak for itself. forever

[@MrNylenRules]

“Touch” is a perfect example of that. Still gives me chills

[@GotWub]

[@Xxbte96xX]

The year this album released I was 15, almost 16. My buddy let me download it off his Apple Music because he had pre-ordered it. We both decided to hit play on it at the same time and text each other about it. He was an avid fan, I was nearly brand new to DP and this kind of music in general. I'll never forget it, it was something special for me. It legitimately changed the way I perceived and enjoyed music from that moment on. It may sound hyperbolic, but I didn't listen to much music besides the popular radio hits occasionally. This album changed that for me and I'll forever have a special place for it in my heart.

[@daniellavaladez7820]

Get Lucky and Instant Crush are two of my favorite songs off the album, they still slap even 10 years later!!! Such a fantastic album and one of the best of the 2010s for sure.

Horizon, the bonus track included in the japanese version, is one of Daft Punk's best songs ever. So emotional. When they announced that the group was over, Horizon turned out to be the saddest and most beautiful outro of any musicians career.

[@ManateeMentality]

The problem with albums as well-produced as this one is that they might sound a little thin if you’re not listening to them through hi-fi speakers or headphones. I didn’t realize what I had been missing in this album until I listened to it in a car with a high-end sound system. It transformed the album and brought it to life.

I regrettably only listened to bits and pieces of their work before they broke up. I liked them, but I was definitely a casual fan. But when I watched Epilogue, I immediately fell in love with the track they used at the end. That song, of course, was Touch from R.A.M. and it made me finally give the album a listen from start to finish. Not only would I call it my current favorite album, Touch is one of the most life-affirming pieces of music I have ever heard. I've legit bawled my eyes out listening to this song.

My dad is a hobbyist musician and composer. Pretty good one at that. He likes old school jazz, 70s pop, some Latin music, and very little else. He gets pretty gate-keepy and serious about things, and that makes it hard to connect with him on a musical level sometimes. (I typically enjoy the stuff that he likes, but he hardly ever steps out of his comfort zone when it comes to music) Once, I was explaining to him the many reasons why Daft Punk is my favorite artist of all time. He had his speakers set up, and so I played Touch while we quietly listened together. He cried, and cried softly. It was one of the most beautiful and tender moments that I’ve ever experienced with my dad, and I’m so grateful for it. It felt as if in that moment that he understood me a little better, though that song. I’ll never forget it.

The overly sterile production quality rubbed me the wrong way when I first listened, especially when compared to the digital rawness of their earlier stuff. But going back to it over these past 10 years, that “over production” almost serves to preserve this album and gives it a timeless quality. Pair that feeling, with the fact that this ended up being their final album. RAM is this perfect capstone to their entire discography. It’s an important album and an all-time classic imo.

The year prior I was getting into Daft Punk, listening to everything they had to offer. And when this dropped, I was floored. It had swept me off my feet. It was on repeat for the next few months, and even a lot of the songs followed me into my adulthood.

This was the first album I had ever bought. I bought it digitally on Play music using my dad's credit card. The singles - Get Lucky, Lose Yourself.. and Instant Crush were enough to get me hooked. I cherished EVERY SINGLE track. I remember not being as enamoured with the ballads such as Within or Beyond but I soon grew to love them and their places on the album. I think this album is crafted to perfection. Each production choice, from the way the acoustic drums are processed to the insane effects on the synthesisers, is immaculately executed to create a unique and holistic sound that never wears itself out throughout the album. I also love the diversity of tracks and how Daft Punk manages to keep the same DNA within each one. Tracks as different as "Fragments of Time" and "Contact" both sound completely different in style and structure but manage to work harmoniously together on this record. It's a love letter to the past, present and future of music while being distinctly Daft Punk. This is not only my favourite album, but in my opinion, the greatest album I have ever heard.

after hearing get lucky on the radio constantly from 2013-15, I remember listening to the album in full for the first time around summer 2019, I was just by myself late at night but it didn't like "hit me" or absorb into my brain, later in 2020 though I really fell in love with their "journey" on the record. And I just love the phrase "featuring The Daft Punk" because it is like nothing, it sounds like a magazine writer just being stupid.

One of the best albums I’ve ever heard bro

Man 10 years. My feelings on daft punk have changed so much over those 10 years. I used to be a very casual listener, really only liking instant crush and get lucky of this record. but as the years have gone by and I've matured more in my tastes, I find myself going back to this album more and more. Starting actually from a video where giorgio by moroder was put to a clip of the regular show, I had to find out what song that was, and that's what lead my on my musical journey to what I feel confident in saying is my favorite album, not just by daft punk, but really of all time. Random access memories was such an amazing album to end on and I'm glad daft punk got to end on such a high note. Not all artists do.
