The backlash against Daft Punk's 2016 collaboration with The Weeknd, encapsulated in the comments on this Resident Advisor news piece from September, is hardly surprising. Blame Daft Punk for that one, at least in part.- Max Mertens West took some heat from Parkinson's advocacy groups for that line, but 'On Sight' feels like a heat-seeking missile headed straight to the critics who thought he was incapable of still provoking with his music. They don't relent until the 1:16 mark, when the soulful chorus from the Holy Name of Mary Choral Family's rendition of 'He'll Give Us What We Really Need' provides a brief reprieve from its confrontational pace. The track's snarling, buzz-saw synths that grab the listener's attention from the get-go. Half an hour late, he opened with the frenzied one-two punch of ' Black Skinhead ' and ' New Slaves '-both of which he had performed on Saturday Night Live a few weeks earlier-before later playing another Daft Punk-assisted cut, 'On Sight,' which also enlisted the services of Mike Dean and Benji B. Though the Governors Ball Music Festival had been rained out two days earlier, turning the field into a muddy quagmire for the rest of the weekend, the anticipation in the crowd was electrifying. On June 3, 2016, I was at Randall's Island Park in New York City when Kanye West debuted a quarter of the songs that would make up his sixth studio album, Yeezus. More than anything, it's a reminder that the golden robots will always be there, spinning our favorite memories back to us one more time.- Ezra Marcusġ8. All told, the catalogue includes 102 tracks comprising an artistic vision as distinct as the duo's silhouettes on that iconic Coachella billboard. Some are all-time classics some, not so much. We included all five studio albums (including the Tron soundtrack), as well as numerous remixes, B-sides, and songs they've produced for artists like Kanye West-though if there were multiple versions of the same track, we only chose the best one. Which is to say, here at THUMP, we've decided to rank every Daft Punk song because arbitrary lists are the only things that make sense anymore. So as the world crumbles around us, we build fortresses in our mind. In an era where chaos reigns, Daft Punk provide stability. People play their hits at weddings, bar mitzvahs, and graduation parties because they want to remember those moments forever, and the songs feel timeless enough to last that long. The same themes occur over and over Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo are drawn like moths to the flames of romance, youth, and parties-emotional and physical settings where time melts away. Daft Punk carve out the fragmentary hearts of old songs, preserving their essence in digital amber.
