Ironically fighting my desire to buy it now, too. Just got done listening to it and found it to be really disappointing, even outside the hype.

doesn't matter, most artists have come to the conclusion that live concerts is where the money is at and are touring much more frequently.

Well sure, but being as I'm not interested in the new tracks - especially in a concert setting - I won't be seeing them live.

How does creating a 128 bit quality mp3 fight piracy? Flood the space with mediocre copies? It is all over the pirate bay.

I think releasing it on Spotify would have been better: satisify the people who want to listen to it early.

streaming the album before the release is pretty much the norm these days

I don't get how this is 'hacker news'. Seems like a poor attempt to get _something_ Daft Punk related on the front page here.
