8/10

This is really quite good, and yet I can't help but judging it based on the 20 years of hype and anticipation. It sounds a lot like Loveless, which is good and bad - good in that its more of a proven formula; bad in that it sounds like it could have been made 1 year after Loveless, not 20.

Still, I don't think there's a bad track here, so its a 4

4/5

This is fine. Pleasant. But the selection is a bit odd, it seems performative if anything - I never even heard of this last year, and its remarkably standard singer-songwriter music, yet it is one of the few (only?) representations from 2025 on the list so far.

4 banger singles to start this one. I think its a good album, despite not being wholly unique or innovative, except for general LGBTQ progressiveness. The first 8 tracks are very fun, then I like it a bit less when its slower and more self-serious - but I do like that they construct the album in that way.

Some great tracks but this doesn't really feel like the full Daft Punk experience to me. A lot of the album is abrasive repetitive industrial house, that I just don't vibe with.

Solid HC album, but for me it’s hard to have them as a 1001 entry without Over and Over, which for me is so clearly the Hot Chip song.
