Anyhow I must admit that (only) from a purely sonic point of view,RAM sounds very impressive.
This is because most people believe that things like: talented musicians,expensive equipment and state of the art recording studios have become completely redundant. According to these guys with a 300 dollar laptop bought at your local Walmart you can obtain similar if not better results.....Daft Punk showed them the abyssal difference.

I actually think people who are pretentious are predisposed too hate the album for it being mainstream and not very original. I however think it's a great album, not revolutionary or breaking trends but it's more or less a decent pop album. If you don't like it that's fine but I get the feeling you expect everyone else to hate it as well.
