It’s been over eight years since the release of Human After All, Daft Punk’s last proper studio album. While the duo composed a soundtrack for the movie Tron: Legacy in 2010, it didn’t quite feel like a true Daft Punk album. In many ways, Random Access Memories doesn’t sound like Daft Punk we’ve come to know, either. But that’s not a necessarily a bad thing. While not a complete departure from the duo’s past work,…
